<p>I know what's on the LSAT exam. But the fact of the matter is people of a variety of majors make it to law schools, even the top law schools. </p>
<p>A study that says business majors do worse can be attributed to a lot of other factors. Maybe there were a lot of business majors who typically came from worse schools (think T2) these types of people whould have worse test taking skills than others. It's just too much of a generalization.</p>
<p>The logic game sections can be learned, I know people who started out poor and used the Logic Games Bible + Prep Classes and made vast improvements.</p>
<p>I'll agree that engineering and CS majors are better at LSAT, and even maybe the workload at law schools but I don't think the OP would do himself any good making CS or Engineering as his major</p>
<p>A business degree and especially a CPA are a great asset when wanting to work as a corporate lawyer. But it is really icing on the cake. </p>
<p>When we talk about corporate law, that is, involving large multinationals and the like, these are elite jobs at elite firms. These firms natually hire from almost exclusively the tops schools and then they hire the top grads. </p>
<p>Anyone aspiring to such a career should focus on getting the best possible grades to get into the best law schools. Thus, while a business degree and a CPA are good assets, the key is pick an undergrad subject where you will obtain your best grades.</p>
lol. Yes, we know what you mean. However, that doesn't mean that a capable student cannot major in business and ace the LSAT.
</p>
<p>When did I say that? I said business majors TEND to not perform well on the LSAT. Your major does help prepare you for the LSAT, trains you to think a certain way, and business does not provide the necessary skills. Hence, to help train for the LSAT, I'd say the perfect combination would be CS and English, but that's just my opinion.</p>
<p>To a certain extent, major does help you with the LSAT - if you are trained to be analytical, you'll do better. Some of it is also self-selection, both in the overall intelligence of people in those majors and the overall intelligence of the people in those majors who tend to go to law school. I would wager that the history majors who go to law school are a good representative sample of all history majors. I would also wager that the same is not true of engineers and physicists. The enigneers I know who are in law school always had a stronger interest in writing, humanities, and politics -> not a representative sample. Just something to consider.</p>
<p>Personally, I think with proper, concrete preparation for the LSAT for a couple of months from a course and continual practice exams, anyone, regardless of major can ace the LSAT.</p>
