<p>It seems as if one can major in anything as an undergrad, apply to law school, and get in--so long as they have a high GPA and LSAT. But are there any majors which are no-no's, or which law schools almost certainly won't expect? How would someone majoring in Film and Television Production do when applying to law school--if they had a high GPA and LSAT?</p>
<p>In my law school class there were nurses, doctors, engineers, just about every degree. My husband is an attorney and his undergraduate degree was in mechanical engineering. So yes, you can have any undergraduate degree. The most important thing is to develop your reading and writing skills, because those will be very important in law school. I would think a Film and Television Production major would do fine in admissions. Law schools do not want a class full of only political science majors.</p>
<p>At my university, a lot of of pre-law students major in our writing and rhetoric program. Rhetoric itself is the art of persuasion, so we learn how to argue and persuade through the medium of writing, though our curriculum also focuses on the elements of rhetoric that apply to speech. </p>
<p>In the end, it really is about the critical thinking skills. Philosophy majors tend to do really well in law school because of the way they’re trained to think analyze things. Sometimes even just taking a few solid logic classes can help, too. </p>
