<p>I willl be a political science major at UCSB this Fall.
After declaring my full major status, I will be given an option to choose an emphasis relating to that specific major.
There are about four emphasis (es) that a student may choose from, namely "American Government", "International relations" and one other one that I can't remember.
Considering that I would like to study law after my undergrad studies, would it be best to declare my emphasis as the american gov't. one or do what i like (international relations)?
Thanks</p>
<p>Do what you want. Picking American Government will be of zero benefit in law school admissions.</p>
