Govt or Finance?

College Search & Selection

<p>Which Major should I choose? I like them both equally and see distinct advantages to both of them. My end goal is to go to law school or Bschool</p>

<p>Government
-BA instead of BS, liberal arts major that law schools seem to prefer
-More reading and writing, so it would help me on the LSATs
-Would take 2 less math classes
-Law schools prefer lib arts while Bschools have no preference
-The upper level classes are less math based than in finance</p>

<p>Finance
-School of management more reputable than school of social sciences here
-Finance is better recruited than government and would probably land me a better job should I decide to work for a few years before BSchool
-Finance allows me to take honors classes in business whereas govt doesnt give me that option
-More classes are offered more frequently in business giving me more flexibility in my schedule
-I can still join the pre law society regardless of my major.</p>

<p>Note:Number of elective classes would be about the same</p>

<p>Law schools don't really prefer lib arts; they prefer big numbers. Do finance.</p>

<p>As I said I enjoy them about equal. When I was younger I liked government better but now my interest has shifted more towards finance</p>

<p>If you're leaning more towards business school do finance.
If you're leaning more towards law school do whatever you can get a higher GPA in.
If you're not sure, double major. :D</p>

<p>I doubt I can doubt major itd take up 40 more hours :( , I just need to know if government is looked upon more favorably (because it is theory based) if so how much? Im thinking of doing finance and minoring in govt</p>

<p>what university are you going to? law schools don't give a crap what you major in (unless it's patent law but that's another story). you will probably get a higher GPA in government (you could prolly look that up) so if you are set on law school go with government - you could minor or double major in econ if you like that</p>

<p>will law schools also cross examine which majors have the highest GPA?</p>
