<p>I am planning to enroll at the University of Central Florida Honors college this fall as a freshman. I know it's a ways off, but I want to get an idea on how to get ready for law school. I want to major in something with business, but would it make a big difference whether its Business Administration or Management or Marketing? What is the norm for undergrads wanting to go to law school to major in? If I major in something business, would it help to minor in political science or legal studies? Any help would be great</p>
<p>Your major doesn’t really matter; just try to get the highest GPA you can.</p>
<p>Most law schools advise prospective students to stay away from “legal studies”. Take challenging courses, and do well in them. Courses that require a great deal of reading and writing are, in my view, the best preparation for law school, particularly courses that where the students’ writing is closely scrutinized, and carefully criticized.</p>
<p>Can you give some examples? I’m guessing political science isn’t a good idea for a minor then?</p>
<p>
“Legal studies” does not equal PolySci. Some really terrible colleges actually offer “legal studies” or “pre-law” as a major.</p>
<p>PolySci and Philosophy will both prepare you well for law school. Some form of Science/Engineering could help you get a job after you get your JD, as law firms are known to dig deeper into the pool for these type of lawyers.</p>
