<p>What are the universities with the best law programs? There's a university that offers a 3 + 3 program which entails a 3 year bachelor's degree followed by a 3 year J.D.
Does anyone know about any schools that have something similar to that?</p>
<p>Law is not an undergrad major. There’s no reason to worry about law school if you haven’t done a Bachelor’s yet.</p>
<p>As what Demosthenes49 said, you can pick whatever major you want because law schools really dont care for the most part. They just want a high GPA and high LSAT score. A pre-law major wont help you at all when you hit law school and most people will say it will even put you at a disadvantage because you will have to unlearn everything you already know and relearn it in law school. They also are the 2nd lowest scorers on the LSAT.</p>
<p>If you are wanting the undergrad that will help the most; science/math majors typically do the best on the LSAT, you must have a science major to work in IP/Patent law (get the patent certification), accounting will prepare you better for tax law (not required), finance/economics will prepare you better for bankruptcy law (not required), etc.</p>
<p>On another note many people recommend philosophy, english, and history majors though personally I would advice against them because if you dont end up going to law school. They dont have promising job outlook.</p>

<p>Since correlation does not equal causation, which any STEM major would know, this factoid is worthless in such a discussion. Heck, it is even potentially harmful since some high schoolers will glom onto a difficult major and kill their GPA Frosh year, which no chance of recovery.</p>
<p>It’s also not really [url=<a href=“http://www.potsdam.edu/academics/AAS/Phil/upload/LSAT-Scores-of-Majors.pdf]true[/url”>http://www.potsdam.edu/academics/AAS/Phil/upload/LSAT-Scores-of-Majors.pdf]true[/url</a>]. </p>

<p>This is true but there are also studies that show studying STEM fields can improve pattern recognition and it is very possible for a person’s IQ scores to increase through schooling which STEM fields have the biggest impact on. Though for substantial change, it would take numerous years so its not a huge factor. Studying for 4 years of a STEM major may improve your LSAT score 1-2 points.</p>
<p>As for STEM majors being difficult and having lower GPA’s, that’s a very true point but also very biased because for some people, STEM fields are easy for them opposed to fields like english or history. Like I said your LSAT and GPA are far more important than your actual major. I was assuming ceteris paribus, so one could get an equal GPA across majors. I’m well aware that’s not typical and not everyone can get a good GPA in STEM majors. I was also speaking from experience because I went from a STEM major to an accounting major, with no drastic GPA change.</p>

Gratias tibi ago </p>
<p>I only used ceteris paribus because it was drilled in my head to mention everytime i wrote a paper in my physics class and statistics class. It makes sense as to why I used it.</p>
<p>Of course it makes sense-just like putting it in bold so that none us of miss it.</p>
<p>I originally did italics and it looked weird, wasnt sure how to put it without it looking weird. Nonetheless, i apologize for it.</p>
<p>Simply put: is UPenn or Columbia reachable for you? Else you have to aim for Fordham Gabelli, UCSC (with UC Hastings for the JD part) or Tulane…</p>
<p>In fact, Arizona is the very first to offer a BA in law but its accelerated JD program is perhaps a little too strict: 3.8+ in the law major.</p>
