Minor Question

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Well it's actually a question about minors (of the academic variety) rather than this question being trivial, but I'm going to stop being a smartarse.</p>

<p>I'm applying to Cal's College of Chem from a local HS (where like 200 kids get in every year, we're also about an hour away and filled with study-obsessed asian nerds, go figure). My friend in CoC pointed me to the right direction for figuring out what classes I need to take and what AP tests I can get credit for, but one question I had was that I noticed I had the possibility of doing a minor in Physics to go along with my BS in chem. </p>

<p>Would a hopeful applicant to law school have any use for a minor in Physics, or is it better to reduce my courseload and aim for a higher GPA? From what my friend's told me CoC is a pretty difficult college in its own right and I will have to deal with LSATs and work experience.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You should try the classes for the minor in the beginning and see if you can handle it. worse comes to worse, you can drop without a penalty. It DOES look good if you have diverse interests but if it means you are getting enough good grades for your major, then i would leave it off. you can take a few classes for fun too. i found that i have a lot of time but i’m only taking 13 units right now.</p>
