<p>I'm going to Stern this fall, not sure of which major, maybe finance. But I'm sort of torn right now between whether I'll want to go into business or law. I understand NYU is good for both. But does NYU have an undergraduate pre-law program? If I decide to go into law, should I try to transfer to this? Or is my major irrelevant to law school adcoms?</p>
<p>There is a pre-law interdisciplinary major in CAS. However, law schools generally most appreciate students coming in from a non-law background.</p>
<p>An analytical mind and the ability to write well, are the two most important assets if you want to go into law. Your undergrad degree can be in pretty much any major, as long as you have a good gpa. That, and doing very well on the LSAT, are what you need. Most people going to law school have worked for a few years before applying these days, which is probably a good idea because law school, especially at NYU, is very expensive.</p>
<p>LSAT scores are probably the most important factors because they gauge how analytical someone is and how well they can write (from the writing sample although the essay in the APP is much more important in that regard)</p>
