Schools for clarinet performance & pre-law or political science double major

Not disagreeing at all with the value of strong reading & writing skills @twoinanddone! I was addressing the idea that certain majors are de facto better for admission to law school. There are still a lot of people who think that studying, say, political science, in some way improves the likelihood of admission to law school. There is no specific advantage to having “political science major” (or similar) on their diploma in terms of law school admissions.

@sabe999, the calibre of schools your daughter is looking at will all have top notch polisci/policy/history programs: the more limiting factors will be 1) clarinet performance and major options and 2) gen eds. Identify programs that appeal to her overall, where she likes the look of the clarinet aspect, and that have relatively open curriculum requirements.

She can then choose what major(s) she wants as she goes. She might, for example, like to do a music major and just pile on the humanities courses that look interesting as electives: whether she declares a second major or not will not affect law school admissions. At most of the places noted so far in this thread she won’t have to formally declare a major until second year, and she can add majors & minors up to autumn of senior year.
