I believe the above state would apply to just about all graduate schools. Of course if you are “dreaming” about becoming something else and then “suddenly” switch to a different direction it will require “quite the life aspiration change or a double focused mind”. Considering there is no such animal as a “pre-law” degree, many career orientated undergraduate degrees (such as accounting) might actually enhance your pursuit of becoming an attorney while providing an immediate post graduate career opportunity.</p>

<p>No, not really. Any major that enhances career prospects like that (math, bio/chem/physics, accounting) is probably going to be a little harder to get a stellar GPA in, which would hurt your chances of going to a good law school.</p>

<p>For all intents and purposes, fair or not, all majors are created equal in law school’s eyes. The 4.0 in English is basically equivalent to a 4.0 in Chemistry. So if English is easier and you enjoy it more, and you want to go to law school, you should definitely major in that instead.</p>

Providing of course that you have a plan for what you will do with a BA in English in the event you either can’t get into law school (low grades - poor test) or choose not to go for some reason. What careers should a recent BA English grad pursue?</p>

<p>Sales is an option. Perhaps the only option. Son graduated from UVA with English. Moved to CA, job selling yellow page ads. Through promotions, buyouts, and mergers, VP of the largest firm in the country. Only with his BA in English.</p>

<p>“Only with his BA in English.”
Congrats! Sounds as though he has done well.</p>

<p>The founder of Under Armour majored in football. You never know.</p>

<p>Which college has a major in football?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure its a figure of speech.</p>

<p>Yes, I was joking. I’m not sure what Kevin Plank’s major was at UMd, but his focus had been nothing but football during high school and college. He is an example of making a ton of money from something he understood.</p>

<p>Plank graduated from Maryland in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. His interest was business and making a buck.</p>

<p>I have read about what a entrepreneur he was at even a very young age. It is funny that the fact that he used to sweat a lot when he played football led him to come up with the wicking fiber in Under Armour. Gives new meaning to “sweat equity.”</p>
