How important is your major?

<p>That is definitely not universally true.</p>

<p>I am just really curious what shows up on the darn LSDAS sanctioned transcripts. If, as I hear, they show only course number and the respective grades, it shouldn't matter at all what your courseload is, apart from its bearing on recommendations.</p>

<p>And Sally, what is "not universally true"? That no majors are excluded from top schools? If this is what you are saying, what schools exclude what majors?</p>

<p>How do law school review students from school like Evergreen State College and New College of Florida that do no give GPAs? Do they only go by LSATs and recommendations?</p>

<p>Sorry, I was replying to an older post.</p>

<p>What should I do</p>

<p>Minor in Govt and have 12 elective hours or</p>

<p>Minor in Govt And Economics and have 6 elective hours?</p>

<p>As an Economics major, I can definitely say EConomics is much harder than business.</p>

<p>Business classes are jokes, except for the curves. The curves make business classes 'hard,' not the actual content.</p>

<p>( I go to Berkeley btw, where Haas is a top 3 undergrad program, but seriously, it's a joke. I don't want to sound harsh, but a lot of business majors at Berkeley do not do well in Economics upper division courses.)</p>

<p>My suggestion though: double major. Do finance and something else at the time, perhaps Economics.</p>

<p>Also, most graduate business schools prefer undergrads who majored in something OTHER than business. And the richest people all have MBAs, so why not major in something other than business and then you have the option of getting an MBA?</p>

<p>Also you can pursue a J.D./MBA at the same time, thus covering both bases.</p>
