<p>Would anthropology be good for law school? I'm thinking of doubling with Econ and Anthro, Econ and Philosophy, Econ and History, or Econ and Psych. Is Anthro all right? I'm really leaning towards Anthro right now.</p>
<p>Anthro's fine.</p>
<p>How about public policy?</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with a public policy major. But any major that requires you to do a lot of thinking, reading, and writing is good preparation for law school.</p>
<p>why is poli sci so low on that...</p>
<p>exactly what is the average lsat score and gpa to get into a decent law school.</p>
<p>3.3-3.5, 160-163 is the ave. at most 2nd teir schools.</p>

</p>
<p>probably because of the sheer number of polisci majors taking the LSAT.</p>
<p>Never, ever, do communications</p>

Why not? That is the type of thing you need to do to get into law schools nowadays.</p>
<p>You need a dumbed down undergrad major to increase your chances of being accepted to a "good" law school.</p>
<p>Well, let's not even consider the fact that even one communications program can be rigorous or difficult (or hard grading).</p>
<p>There are exceptions to every rule but the truth is if you hear communications major, you are not going to respect it as much as an engineering or hard science major. People know the average performance of communications major is much lower.</p>
<p>But do law school admissions committees areally take that into account? I doubt it, since I've heard so many horror stories of engineering/math/science graduates not being able to get into law school because of their comparatively poor grades.</p>

<p>This is true, but if the communications major has a higher GPA and a higher LSAT, they're probably not going to be worried. Science majors only have a case when their LSATs are good enough but their GPAs aren't.</p>
<p>I agree with you, CanSilence, but what I'm trying to point out is what is Americanski said.</p>
<p>If you wanted to go into corporate law, would you take business? What if you did a minor in philosophy?</p>
<p>"What if you did a minor in philosophy?"</p>
<p>What if you didn't go to LS? What would you like to major in, then?</p>
<p>I am currently working on a very specialized degree (Printing Management). Does whoever admit students really look at what you studied, or just grades/LSAT?</p>
<p>Printing Management is a degree I can basically sleep through, and walk away after graduation making $55,000, which, I also believe, is the average salary for people right out of law school.</p>
<p>I think lawyers do a little bit better starting out than print managers or whatever.</p>
