<p>Can you describe the relationship between a law school and Political Science-Government Major.</p>
<p>Me to! haha I was wondering the same thing.</p>
<p>IMO - None. Maybe it helps a tiny bit in Constitutional law, one of the required classes.</p>
<p>none. They just tend to be popular majors (along with English and History). The trick then becomes to distinguish yoursself from all of the other Poli Sci/Gov"T/English/History majors</p>
<p>I am a high school graduate. I want to join a law school after my college. Is it necessary for me to major in Political Science and Government Dept. to get in or I can study anything?</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what your major is, as long as it’s challenging and substantive. The more “academic,” the better; that is, physics or philosophy would be better than marketing or recreation management. Ther eis no specific subject matter knowledge that is required for law school admission, as compared to medical school admissions, where a specific core of course is required. and also specific knowledge required to do well on the MCAT. The LSAT is largely an IQ test. And it just so happens (not coincidentally) that more high iqs are found in certain undergrad majors than others. The majors that produce the students that do best on LSATs, and get into the better law schools are: </p>
<ol>
<li>Physics/math, 160.0 average LSAT score
<ol>
<li>Economics, 157.4</li>
<li>Philosophy/theology, 157.4</li>
<li>International relations, 156.5</li>
<li>Engineering, 156.2</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p>The five lowest-scoring majors are: </p>
<ol>
<li>Education, 149.4</li>
<li>Business administration, 149.1</li>
<li>Health professions, 148.4</li>
<li>Prelaw, 148.3</li>
<li>Criminal justice, 146.0</li>
</ol>
<p>That was a great response. Thanks.</p>
