<p>Lets say that I was to go to a business school for undergrad and major in finance, economics, or both. Would this be a good idea if I wanted to go to law school? Also, would majoring in those areas only help me with corporate law or are there other fields that I could go into?</p>
<p>I know a lot of economics graduates apply to law school with success, but I haven’t heard much about business majors. </p>
<p>I really don’t think people with B.S degrees in business management are taken seriously anyways.</p>
<p>At a school like Stern or Tepper though, economics and finance are both highly regarded majors. That’s the kind of undergrad I’m talking about.</p>
<p>Yes but a degree in business management is frowned upon. </p>
<p>Major in economics, it gives you good training for the LSAT.</p>
<p>Ah, alright, if I do double major in econ/finance at schools like that, but the degree itself is called bachelors in business administration or bachelors of science in business, that’s fine?</p>
<p>Ok, honestly it doesn’t matter what you major in. </p>
<p>Get a good GPA and a good LSAT score and you’re set.</p>
<p>The problem is, business administration majors don’t excel at the LSAT because the program is not know for it’s intellectual challenges.</p>
<p>Oh, I get it. Thanks for the advice.</p>
<p>A business school? It won’t matter, just have solid numbers.</p>
<p>Precognition: How does economics best prepare you for the lsat? Source?</p>
<p>You said that “business administration majors don’t excel at the LSAT because the program is not know for it’s intellectual challenges”, however, econ isn’t a major known for being all that intellectually challenging.</p>
<p>I beg to differ. Economics is relatively more challenging than Business Management. Moreover, if you go the more theoretical route in economics, it can be pretty difficult.</p>
<p>Well, the first three posters in this thread, by their birthdates listed in their profiles and past post history, aren’t even in college yet. So I’m not sure how they can say definitively economics “provides good training for the LSAT” or that economics isn’t known to be challenging.</p>
<p>I’m going to have to find someone in real life to talk too about this.</p>
<p>Edit: It’s first two posters actually, not counting the OP. lol.</p>
<p>doesnt matter what you major in, get a high GPA and good LSAT, economics majors tend to do good on the LSAT</p>
<p>schritzo: You don’t need to be a law school graduate to know a lot about getting into law school. :(</p>
