<p>I currently attend UC Davis as a incoming junior and I am planning on changing my major. I used to be a biology major but I decided it wasn't what I wanted to do. I just want to know what is a good major for law school as well as if a communication major will be sufficient to get into law school. After browsing through the majors I did realize that Davis is more of a science oriented school so we don't have pre-law or criminal justice majors not giving me many choices. </p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>You can have any major and go to law school. You definitely shouldn’t major in either criminal justice or pre-law because they are worthless. A sudden change of heart in career paths raises other concerns, however. How much do you know about the practice of law? Have you any personal experience from interning?</p>
<p>@Demosthenes4 I do have a family member who does practice business law so I know a little about it. I don’t have any experience from interning but hopefully this year I can get a intern while I’m at Davis. Do you know any majors that would be better geared towards going to law school?</p>
<p>There really aren’t any majors that better prepare you for law school. Law school admissions is about maximizing your GPA, so pick a major you like and can do well in. I also recommend double majoring or at least minoring in something that provides you skills you can sell an employer if law, for whatever reason, doesn’t work out.</p>
<p>@Demosthenes49 Okay thank you so much! I will probably end up majoring in comm. and do a minor in business. </p>
<p>Two things count for law school admission–grades and LSAT score. LSAT concentrates on critical reading, analysis and logic problems.</p>
