<p>So I want to go into business litigation or corporate law, and I'm thinking of what majors I should choose. I don't want to go pre-law because that just seems rather bland.</p>
<p>I was thinking of doing either a Philo/Socio double major or Econ major Socio concentration/minor.</p>
<p>Could anyone lay out the pros and cons of the two aforementioned majors or even suggest an alternate route?</p>
<p>I need to maintain a solid GPA for law school as well so I'm wondering which would be easier to get a higher gpa in.</p>
<p>you can major in whatever you are interested in (humanities, biological sciences, physical sciences, engineering) and still be competitive for every law school. based on observation, ive seen that gpa/lsat are what will get you in</p>
<p>history, polisci, sociology, english, or pretty much any humanities will be a sure bet, as law school primarily looks at your GPA and LSAT</p>
<p>dont touch Econ unless you know wut you are doing. because when its all said and done, the gpa will not be that appealing to law school admissions.</p>
<p>I went to UCLA both for undergrad and law school. I agree that you can major in just about anything (I was a poli sci major). However, my recommedation is English. Good writing skills are essential. Especially if you want to be a litigator.</p>
<p>My vote is for philosophy - UCLA has a great philosophy department, and the major will really teach you how to deconstruct arguments and how to think about complex topics in a critical, philosophically rigorous way. And since essentially every assignment is in essay format, you will become a great writer.</p>
