<p>Any thoughts? I've heard/read that sociology works too but on this site, all i keep seeing is "history, philosophy, poli sci, english, etc." </p>
<p>any opinions?</p>
<p>major in what you want...major in something that interests you...trust me, its like common knowledge these days</p>
<p>Major in something you are interested in and want to spend years studying. If your thinking of business law then economics is a good major, if you are genuinely interested in economics. The reason why you should choose a subject your interested in is so that you will get good grades.</p>
<p>i think that needs a little modification: study 1) what you enjoy/find interesting/find important and 2) what comes easy relatively. in the best possible world it would be both. i know this isn't quantitative so it might sound silly, but mentally try to maximize these two categories. they are related. it is no fun putting effort into work you do not believe in, therefore over time boring stuff can really become hard. in fact, doing what is easy for grades feels worse and worse over time as you realize you are wasting your life, to whatever degree.</p>
<p>If your only goal is law school you should follow these guidelines.</p>
<p>1) Major in something you can get a 4.0 (or 4.33 if you're school has it) in easily.
2) Major in something you can stand enough to do the work to get that 4.0.
3) Major in something that doesn't interfere with your LSAT studies.</p>
<p>Thats about it for Law School.</p>
<p>are you serious shiboing boing?</p>
<p>law schools dont care how easy your major is..all they want to know is that you got a 4.0???</p>
<p>Shiboing, I think that you sometimes view college as merely a means to an end, rather than as an experience in itself. I think that college can be among the most wonderful years in a person's life (not to mention the fact that college is quite expensive -- and you should try to get every penny's worth out of that education). </p>
<p>My best advice to any high school student or freshman or sophomore in college is to major in something that interests and excites you (as I have said what feels like hundreds of times before on this board). Do research. Meet interesting people. Study abroad. Take classes outside of your comfort zone. All of these things will help you in law school admissions, in law school, in the practice of law and in your life a lot more than JUST getting a 4.0. If you can do well in the major of your choice, all the better.</p>
