Interschool Minor

[whiteee]

<p>As I was finishing up my app this week, I noticed the option of an interschool minor with Wharton/CAS on the Penn website. As I am highly interested in law school, does anyone know whether an interschool minor in 'legal studies and history' would help my chances when applying to law school? thanks</p>

Is this program going to improve my chances of getting into law school?</p>

<p>No. This program will neither help nor hurt an undergraduate’s chances of getting into law school. Grade point average, Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT) scores, and letters of recommendation are the leading factors in most law school admissions. As a general matter, students seeking law school admission should select a major field of study that interests them and excel at it. The Undergraduate Advisor in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department and the Career Planning and Placement Service’s Pre-law Advisor can provide further information on law school admissions as it relates to the University Minor.
