<p>Major in philosophy if that’s what you really want. It’s not as hard as it seems. The reason people don’t end up doing well is that after coming out of high school (which they did really well in), they are overconfident and believe that they are much smarter than they actually are. </p>
<p>It is a good pre-law major. It helps a lot of the LSAT, more so than Pol Sci or Haas. </p>
<p>Keep in mind though, that both Pol Sci and Haas are legit at Berkeley. I majored in Pol Sci, got a 171 on the LSAT, and got accepted to NYU, Michigan, Berkeley, and Duke. (I’m at NYU now- it’s ranked 6th). I’m going to eventually be a corporate lawyer.</p>
