<p>It depends on the individual, not really the major. For example, Physics majors do well on LSATs (and MCATS I’ll add), yet the number of physics majors who take these is quite small. And if you have a physics major who is going into law, they’re likely to be smart. They majored in something rather nontraditional for med or law school because they knew they didn’t have to worry too much about getting in.</p>
<p>Physics doesn’t make you smart. Smart people take physics.</p>
<p>By the way, I know many math majors who don’t really care at all about physics. They may know their way around the math, but there is a certain amount of spatial reasoning and intuition required to excel in physics and engineering. Then the math majors are screwed when they realize that a lot of advanced math is quite intimately tied with physics. i.e. the math gives us multiple (or infinite) solutions, but we use conservation of energy/momentum/mass or entropy to select a certain solution.</p>

I understand your question. Choose a major that challenges you, but don’t loose sight of what you ultimately want to do (even if it ends up being related to your major). And don’t forget to work on your people skills and speaking skills. Those will REALLY help you cross disciplines.</p>
