<p>I was wondering, would it be a bad idea to just take college algebra? Should I take calculus and statistics?</p>
<p>Only if you want to.</p>
<p>It makes no difference. Take whatever you want.</p>
<p>It would be a bad idea only if it'll lower your GPA. Unless, your college requires math as a graduation requirement, you may want to wait until you get your BA --when the grades you earn in those courses won't be computed into your LSDAS GPA. This is, of course, assuming you are applying to LS and not majoring in the sciences.</p>
<p>If you want to take math you should. Algebra will fine but you may want to be careful with your GPA in classes like Calculas and whatnot. </p>
<p>I started taking math classes again after I took logic and liked the similarities to math. Plus, the skills are supposed to be good for the lsat. I am taking calculus in the summer though so I can focus without the distractions of other classes.</p>
<p>Ditto.....</p>
<p>What does the LSDAS GPA consist of?</p>
<p>LSDAS GPA: all college courses regardless of where you took them, counting those taken while in high school & study abroad courses, until you are awarded an undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>So, a good way to go, if law school is your goal, is to major in something you'll get a high GPA and then pursue a second undergraduate or a graduate degree in the more difficult (and possibly more interesting?) subject.</p>
<p>And A+ is 4.33 right?</p>

In other words, choose a major that you think has the highest percentage of idiots. By idiots, I mean the people who are dumber than you. A good example of this would probably be communications, English, history, pyschology...etc.
The goal isn't to prove that you can perform better than the entire population. The goal is to prove that you can just perform better than the idiots and that you picked a major where the competition wasn't too high.</p>
<p>That'll get you into law school!</p>

<p>Yes, more or less. However, that only applies if your school grades on a curve!!! Some schools do not. If your school doesn't grade on a curve, you'll be fine choosing an easy major, regardless of how many geniuses are in your classes.</p>
