<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm a freshman at Northwestern studying Engineering and Economics. I've recently become interested in going to law school after my undergraduate. I realize engineering is an unconventional undergraduate degree if I am going to pursue a career in law, but will law schools be interested in me even if my GPA is a little less due to taking a more rigorous degree?</p>
<p>Actually, I did some snooping around and apparently engineers score pretty well on the LSAT. Only question, does the slightly lower GPA dramatically decrease my chances of getting into the top law schools?</p>
<p>I am just another undergrad, but I can say this much. </p>
<p>First of all, yes, they consider the difficulty of your major and it is fair to say 3.2 engineering is competible with 3.5 sociology, although there is no official formular. They want variety of the student body too, and your major is clearly unique for the field of law. </p>
<p>Second, your school, Northwestern, is one of the T-10 and they value work experience as much as GPA, if not more. So if you think your GPA becomes a trouble, add in some interesting work experience to your application.</p>
