Take the easiest undergrad classes possible, trust me.


If you are 100% dead set on going to law the school I have a fed bits of advice that you may find helpful. If it is at all possible decide that you want to go to law school BEFORE starting your undergrad degree. I say this because law schools DO NOT care what your undergrad degree is for; they only care about your GPA. You can struggle to get B’s in aeronautical engineering or 4.0 your history major. Guess which one looks better to law schools? If you guessed the history major you are correct. If you plan on going to law school go to the VERY best undergrad school that will accept you and take the easiest major possible.

A high GPA is crucial if you plan on getting into a top law school. The only thing that that is as important as a high GPA is your LSAT score. The LSAT is a real huge pain in the ass but it is learnable. I will talk more about the LSAT at a later date. Law school is going to be stressful enough so you might as well heed my advice and take the easiest undergrad degree possible. Have fun and get A’s in undergrad because once you get to law school it will be a whole new ballgame, or so I’ve been told.

    This is why I took core course requirements at a community college. Though I don't know how that would fly with a law school, lol.

    I'm pretty sure liberal arts counts as an easy major. Or so all the jokes at my expense claim.

    Nice tip though!

    I'd rather take the harder courses and be better for it so law school is easier ;)

    Having a good combination of easy and hard classes is best. The easy classes boost your GPA without doing much for the class. This allows you to focus more on the harder classes that will get you prepared. :)
