<p>Ok, so im entering my freshman year at Sarah Lawrence College this fall. I'm 99.999% sure that I will go to law school after college (but who knows what could happen). Anyway, I was just curious if theres anything I could/should do that could help me out in law school in any way.</p>
<p>Just have a fun 4 years in college. Study hard, keep that GPA as high as possible and start preparing for your LSAT early. Majoring in a subject like English, History, Philosophy, Political Science or Economics really helps. </p>
<p>Also, Law schools like to see a passion. So try to work on your non-academic interests too. Community service, music, the arts, a sport, whatever.</p>
<p>Alexandre (or anyone else), how good is "Legal Studies" for law schools? Do Legal Studies students do as well as Political Science/English/Philosophy/HIstory/Econ majors in general?</p>
<p>I am not sure KFC4U. I always thought Legal Studies was for students who wished to assist Lawyers or work in a legal environment right after their undergraduate studies rather than for students who actually intended to go to Law school. But I am sure others in this forum know more about that than I do.</p>
<p>There was a link posted in another thread that listed the average LSAT for a number of different majors. "Pre-law" did worse than most. </p>
<p>If you really had a passion for a pre-law or "legal studies" major, I guess you should still study it, but law schools aren't that impressed by it. I've even heard they prefer students who don't take a specific "pre-law" major.</p>
