<p>Congrats, that’s great
Poli Sci and Haas are definitely legit, I wouldn’t doubt that. I just think that philosophy would be much more interesting to me. I was only concerned because someone mentioned that the philosophy department “doesn’t give As”, and that claim was slightly reinforced when I checked the career center surveys. While harsh grading would probably help my LSAT score, I’m not sure if a low GPA could make up for that. I’m willing to work hard to keep 3.9+, so hopefully that’s as possible with philosophy as it is with Haas/poli sci. (otoh I would never expect that GPA from math or physics, for example)</p>
<p>If anyone knows about the grading practices of the philosophy department, please post. In addition, if the grades are customarily harsh, how much leeway is given by law schools? (unfortunately, I would guess none…)</p>
