Pre Law Major?

I am currently a freshman at North Carolina State University. I am planning on attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law after I earn my Bachelors Degree. I am considering Mechanical Engineering or a double major in Mathematics and Physics. Which major would increase my chances of being accepted to Law School?

The answer is, follow your heart! While it might be true that people in some majors have higher acceptance rates than people in other majors, it is probably just due to factors like people in certain majors might be better students (or at least more hard-working). You can still get into Law School with an engineering major.

What ever major you do, it will be a good idea to take some humanities courses, and especially to take courses in philosophy (courses like Logic will prepare you well for Law School). And to show that you are capable of logical thinking, it would be a good idea to at least the two semesters of Calculus.

To be completely honest, if I wanted to go to Law School, I would just do a math major and take some philosophy, English, and/or history courses on the side (so that I can show my ability to defend arguments/write for law school), as well as to take some business and economics courses so that i would have something to fall back on if I didn’t get into law school. Math majors have the second highest acceptance rate into law school. While philosophy majors have the highest rate, I think majoring in philosophy would be boring to me, and if I didn’t make it into Law School, I wouldn’t be able to do much with my bachelor’s degree.

there’s no such concern as a pre-regulation substantial at a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days corporation. that’s barely provided as a minor and hence you’re able to be able to do the two, substantial in journalism and minor in pre-regulation. Pre-regulation is extra of a uncomplicated creation to the component of criminal study and the criminal device extra often than not. you’re able to disguise public coverage, judicial politics alongside with some elementary ethics and a reasoning and writing classification. in case you do in comparison to history then possibly regulation isn’t for you, simply by fact regulation is all approximately priority and discovering previous situations, briefs and different correct concerns, for this reason why history majors are sturdy on the learn of regulation. i does not grow to be a pre-regulation minor until i became specific that that became a course i desired to take. particularly, attempt some political technological expertise and philosophy training for the duration of your prevalent preparation years.
