<p>If anyone can get into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or Columbia Law School, that’s impressive, regardless if he/she majored in an “easy” subject. All those schools require astronomical LSAT scores, so clearly those Legal Studies majors put in A LOT of work to get those scores (unless they were URMs). </p>
<p>In fact majoring in an “easy” studies major may be a smart idea. Since the workload isn’t that heavy, you can volunteer, do a multitude of internships, use your GPA as leverage for applying to jobs, and most importantly, you have much more time to devote to the LSAT.</p>
<p>Most people have a very skewed image of Berkeley. They think that Berkeley undergrad across all majors is very difficult, so having a 4.0 in Legal Studies will create the facade to an employer that you’re some kind of genius/hard worker.</p>
