<p>I'm planning to attend law school afterundergrad, so I want to get the highest possible GPA. Which major should I choose to ensure I get the highest GPA possible? >3.7 is my goal</p>
<p>I'm already a freshman at CAL, so getting in was last year's problem. Now I just want to get a BA as quickly as possible with the highest GPA possible.</p>
<p>What majors would you suggest?</p>
<p>take GE classes at a junior college during the summer as those are usually much easier and net you credit. </p>
<p>i don't know why you would simply take the "easiest" major. that's kind of the wrong way to approach college. you want to take something that will be interesting to you. </p>
<p>no major ensures you high GPAs. that's your job: study hard, work hard, you get good grades. there's aren't really flaky teachers at Cal from what i've heard (my sister attends there right now). </p>
<p>i would advise you to look up the required classes for law school (like calculus or whatnot), find a major that includes a lot of those requirements, and then take that major. </p>
<p>for example, i want to transfer for UCSF for medschool. researching before hand, i realized that you had to take a couple chemistry classes, a couple physics classes, a few biology classes, and a few math classes, so to "kill two birds with one stone," i chose my major as biochemistry, as it requires the bio and chem classes.</p>
<p>If you want to study law, why don't you major in legal studies???????</p>
<p>Seems logical to me.</p>
<p>But if you want that easy major, why don't you try "interdisciplinary studies" and make up a major based on the size of bananas?</p>
<p>You'll do the best in whatever course of study interests you the most. This will translate into a high GPA.</p>
<p>I can't agree completely with Going the Distance. I agree that you should play to your strengths, but it's considerably easier to earn high grades in some departments than others.</p>
<p>thecampusbuddy shows you the grade %ages for various dept.s</p>
<p>I would cite my sources, but I don't remember where I got this. Perhaps Boalt? Anyway, the most common majors from their applicants were philosophy, sociology, English, and political science.</p>
<p>my d was a rhetoric major (considers a very hard major) which helped her in her analytical writing skill and she scored a 96 percentile in her lsat. </p>
<p>Conclusion: an easy major along not going to do it.</p>
