<p>I want to go into international law / human rights / humanitarian aid. Is law school for me? I will be at UVa this fall for undergrad. I was thinking of majoring in something that would help me further my experience/interest in international law and human rights, but from the little reading I've done on this forum, the general consensus seems to be that one should choose the "easiest" major regardless of interest, and focus on GPA, LSAT. I want to be able to eventually work with a human rights org, or the UN. But will I have to really "game" the grad school admissions process and sacrifice my interests/campus clubs during my undergrad years? I was thinking of studying abroad for a semester or trying to land an internship with the UN. Would this bolster my application or would it be a waste of time? </p>
<p>I feel like there are lots of ins and outs and nooks and crannies to getting into Law school that I am not aware of. Truthfully, I admit I was too focused on trying to get into a good undergrad that I lack much grad school, let alone law school, knowledge. </p>
<p>Another thing...should I bother transferring to another undergrad institution with a greater focus on international relations? I was thinking G-Town SFS...</p>
