<p>Hi, Should I get a 2 B.A.'s? one in Economics, and one in Political Science... OR should I get 1 B.S. in Economics, and 1 B.A. in PoliSci? Which looks better for law school, and is there a difference in difficulty?</p>
<p>If you are going to law school, just do one bachelors and get really good grades and a high LSAT. Truthfully a double major isn't really worth the extra work in terms of an application booster.</p>
<p>I really like both majors, its hard, so I figure do both.</p>
<p>If they can fit in 15 hours/semester and 4 years with no problem, then it'll work.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if you're looking at colleges, or are at a college already, but Claremont McKenna is extremely strong in Political Science & Economics. They're best known for their poly science and econ majors, that lead a lot of its graduates to top law schools in the country.</p>
<p>They allow Dual Majors where basically you end up getting a Bachelors in Economics & Political Science, not one or the other, it b ecomes like a joint major. They also have the PPE program which is philosophy, political science and economics, which is something like the dual major, except your diploma will read PPE. They also allow you to do double majors. Most of the students I think a little over 50 percent, pursue dual or double majors.</p>
<p>Law school admissions is a numbers game. Being a double major won't help you that much. LSAT first, GPA second.</p>
<p>damn.... so either a B.A. in Polisci? or a B.S.?</p>
<p>I know I will **** off a lot of people here by saying this... but here goes nothing</p>
<p>Go for the B.S.</p>
<p>B.A.s are useless, everybody has them nowadays. A B.S. will separate you.</p>
<p>A B.S. is more practical and probably deals with numbers more, especially for economics.</p>
<p>The overriding question here though is more likely... what do PoliSci and Econ have to do with Law?</p>

<p>yea, don't go to college unless you are getting a B.S.!</p>
<p>seriously... compare the BA and BS in Econ and see which one fits you better, then follow that track. If you can double major without overextending yourself for many semesters, go for it, since you enjoy both subjects.</p>
<p>that is such bs, yes I know I am funny</p>
