<p>Is it possible if I major in international relations, to take the LSAT after I graduate and then go to Law School or I have to go from the beginning in pre-law ????
please somebody elaborate :-(</p>
<p>You can major in anything you want to go to law school. There is no pre-law major. Grades and LSAT scores are critical for law school. Others have advised to avoid science majors, like engineering, since grading is hard and gpas may be low.</p>
<p>A major that emphasizes writing and analysis is probably a good idea -- I've heard that philosophy is a good one. I'd guess that the most popular pre-law majors focus on government in some way, so gov, polisci, and to some extent IR are all probably pretty common preparation.</p>
<p>Law schools accept graduates who have majored in math, science, English, history, poli sci, engineering, nursing, philosophy, psychology, economics, business, etc. etc., etc. In other words there is no one major that is key. "Pre-law" is a concentration at a number of colleges not a major and having "pre-law" neither raises nor deminishes your chances of admission in relation to others who do not have "pre-law." In other words, for the most part pre-law is something colleges are selling that has no real meaningful impact on admission to law school. Law schools look for persons who can write well and think logically and being able to demonstrate that helps. High GPA and high LSAT are the two main keys to admission. Also, you need not start right after college and you can take the LSAT and apply even years after college. There are actually a number of law schools, e.g., Northwestern, that prefer applicants who have already been out of college for a few years and have work experience after college.</p>
<p>thank u very much guys.</p>
