<p>I am a current sophomore studying political science. Upon graduation, I am planning on going to law school. I am on track to graduate at the end of my junior year (I am done with my political science major end of sophomore year) so I was planning on using my entire junior year to take easy classes and boost my GPA. </p>
<p>I also want to take classes during the summer at my local community college to lessen my credit load for junior year.</p>
<p>My question is:
1) does this plan sound feasible? Should I have a back up plan in case I do not get into a good law school ?
2) should I stay the full four years and take up another major ? (something like business in case I do not get into my desired law school , I can at least apply to a company ?)
3) will taking classes at a community college during the summer affect me negatively when I apply to law school ?
4) what will a law school say when they see I took easy classes my junior year?</p>
<p>I realize this is a lot to ask and a complicate question . But I would really appreciate answers! Thank you!</p>
<p>if i were you, I would figure out what I like before lunging into a sea of courses that I may or may not like. I thought I liked econ, but I have the attention span of a goldfish in that class. It’s so boring. thank god I’m taking that p/f.</p>
<p>Also, over the years, easy classes has become more or less an oxymoron. Most of the easy classes I have taken turned out to be hell. I capped off my math minor with an intro to proofs class, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life (mostly because of the professor).</p>
<p>But that’s just my side of the story. I knew a guy who was a finance major, but then doubled up on mathematics, took 24 credit hours/semester, and finished it in a year. That guy was crazy. He’s still around, probably a grad student or something.</p>
<p>there are various individuals you can talk to about your future, and my advice to you in that is to take everything with a grain of salt and think for yourself.</p>
<p>I’d say the plan does sound feasible. If law school really is what you want, then why not get it done with early and grind it out? There’s no reason to double major, it would just be to stall and “enjoy the college experience” more.</p>
