<p>OK, i'm not necessarily a mat/science genius but math and science are my strongest subjects; those are the classes in which i can make 100's without having to study. this is why i'm going to take the SAT Chem, SAT Math, and SAT French. I will also take Chem II AP and Physics I senior year. However i really, really, really, want to become a lawyer and that's what i will focus on in college (hopefully HARVARD :D).</p>
<p>Here's my issue:
Though im still good in all my other classes, i would prefer to take SATII tests related to math and science. is this appropriate? Would the ivies (especially HARVARD) prefer to see me take tests related to english or history since the law has nothing to do with math or science?</p>
<p>any advice would be helpful!!
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE</p>
<p>EDIT:
should i also reconsider my senior year schedule? should i include AP European HIstory or AP psychology instead of physics??</p>
<p>Of course it's appropriate! Keep taking physics if your passion is science/math. If anything, it'll show the college that you're well-rounded academically. Besides, most colleges don't require you to stick to the major you chose when you applied, so I don't think your law major will be taken into consideration when your app is being read.</p>
<p>I have a similar case . I'm the guy have HOSTILITY about science who wants to major exercise science. LOL. I have taken intro to physics(basic physics),biology,chemistry,and anatomy and physiology and I hated almost all of them except a&p lololol. I tried to enjoy anatomy and physiology just because its related to my major. lol</p>
<p>Your profession outside of college has nothing to do with what college major you choose to take. ANYONE with a college degree can get a JD. It's just a matter of getting in law school. So don't worry. Continue what you're doing -- there isn't a "Law" undergrad major. lol Also from what I"ve heard from many practicing attorneys, lawyers who come from a math background are generally really sharp and are just mentally there. So don't worry at all. It's actually one of the best things you can do!</p>
<p>A math professor told me that lawyers actually tend to major in math. Because in math you solve problems and gets your mind ready to solve other problems</p>
<p>"There is no single academic path we expect all students to follow, but the strongest applicants take the most rigorous secondary school curricula available to them. An ideal four-year preparatory program includes four years of English, with extensive practice in writing; four years of math; four years of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and an advanced course in one of these subjects; three years of history, including American and European history; and four years of one foreign language."</p>
<p>"Since the basic laws of chemistry and physics remain important and valid, since they illustrate how scientific knowledge is acquired, and since they must be learned to understand more recent scientific developments, it is essential that you study chemistry and physics in secondary school. Your college work will build upon these courses. To be well-prepared for college, you should study secondary school science for four years if possible: a year of chemistry, physics, and biology, and a year of advanced work in one of these disciplines. Courses in psychology, astronomy, geology, and anthropology are not appropriate substitutes for these subjects."</p>
