<p>Does anyone know of any great schools with Pre-Law majors or a program that is designed for aspiring lawyers? I'll be at Chico State in 08-09 but I'll transfer granted that I'm admitted elsewhere.</p>
<p>Very few if any colleges have a "pre-law" major. Law school admits qualified individuals from any major.</p>
<p>There is no "pre-law" major, and I would worry about a university that had one. The traditional major that students who have their sights set on law school is political science, but law students come from all kinds of backgrounds - arts, science, math, engineering. </p>
<p>For now, put your interest in law on the back burner. Focus on your undergraduate major, and for that choose a subject you are really interested in. Because if you are passionate about what you are studying, you are more likely to apply yourself, learn the material, and get good grades. </p>
<p>Also consider that four years from now you may not be interested in law school any more. ;)</p>
<p>During freshman year, do see if there's a law course you can take - there are often criminal law or constitutional law courses offered as political science electives. It will give you a chance to see if this is really what you're interested in. Other than that, choose a major, apply yourself, and learn. </p>
<p>And remember - the LSAT has nothing to do with law school, law school has nothing to do with the bar exam, and the bar exam has nothing to do with practicing law. ;)</p>

<p>There are schools that offer Pre-Law Majors. Very few of those schools are "prestigious." The cool thing about Law School is that they don't only accept people in PoliSci or International Affairs. English Majors, Business Majors, even Science Majors can go into Law School. Law applies to any aspect of life, so it's appropriate.</p>
<p>From another aspiring lawyer, be wary of pre-law. It's an awful preparation for law school and pre-law majors have the lowest average LSAT scores next to business administration majors and sociology majors. It will put you at a big disadvantage, score wise, and because law school adcoms look with disdain upon prelaw programs for various reasons, for ls admissions.</p>
<p>I'm going for an economics and physics double major, mabye switching one with an international relations one. Combined with a hopeful MBA after law school or during (many schools offer 4 year joints) that would be an unbeatable combo, since it makes you qualified for business/corporate law, patent law, and general law. </p>
<p>Don't go prelaw.</p>
