Question

<p>What are some good majors to take to get into law school? I have heard that you can essentially major in anything as long as you have a high GPA...is that true? Thanks to anyone who can help...</p>

<p>...its true.</p>

<p>Though I cannot remember from which law school's site I got this quote, it generally represents what any law school will tell you:</p>

<p>"Importantly, if you are planning to attend law school after graduating from college, you should choose an undergraduate major that is of interest to you. The myth that pre-law students must major in political science, history, philosophy, economics or business is just that – a myth. Many successful law students have earned their undergraduate degrees in fields such as the natural sciences, mathematics, computer science, music theory, art or education. Given that attorneys must represent the differing views of various individuals and interest groups, it is no surprise that diversity in experience is essential to the composition of both a law school community and the profession as a whole.</p>

<p>"While you are in college, take courses that will enhance your skills in critical analysis, logical reasoning, general research, and written and oral expression. Challenge yourself by taking difficult courses from demanding instructors so you can show your capacity to perform well at an academically rigorous level."</p>

<p>As they said, take a major that interests you, but if you go into a science/math major, I would go out of my way to take some upper-division writing courses as well. They will serve you a great deal.</p>

<p>scour the registrar's median GPA information. go with that.</p>
