<p>as of now i am a sophomore with a 3.9 gpa as a political science major @ uc irvine. this major was chosen this major because i was honestly interested in it. my question is, can my choice of major work against my odds of getting into a top law school because there are already so many students in law school already with a degree in political science? should i pick up another major to differentiate myself from the pack?</p>
<p>what sort of LSAT score would i have to receive to have a fighting chance to be admitted into ucla or berkeley?</p>
<p>i am graduating a year early, what do you recommend me doing to increase my chances? (beside obviously studying for the lsat)</p>
<p>Major doesn't matter...you have a high chance really regardless because law schools will see your 3.9 like a 3.7 or something from HYPS. Get a 173 plus and you are in at UCLA...176 plus and in at Berkeley</p>
<p>As of two years ago, a score of 162 for UCLA and 164 for UC Berkeley get you out of the bottom 25% of accepted students. The numbers in the 170's presented above are incorrect. A 169 to 171 will place you at the top 25% LSAT score for accepted students to these law schools. 169 for UCLA, and 171 to be in the top 25% of acceptees for Berkeley. These numbers are based on acceptances two, or, possibly, three years ago.</p>
