What Sorts Undergraduate Majors are Good for Entering Law School? - Eamon - 05-27-2013 10:00 AM
I'm a junior in high school, thinking about colleges. I know that I want to attain my Juris Doctor, from an accredited law school, but first, there is obviously the question of what majors to major in from undergrad school. I feel stupid asking this on yahoo answers but I still have the question...
What sorts of undergraduate majors would be good for getting into a law school? I want to take challenging courses but also ones that would be relevant to getting good scores on the LSAT and further progressing my experience to succeed at a law school. Any advice? Thank you in advance!
