Undergrad majors for law school?

Hey everyone! I'm a junior and I've been considering a career in law. I know that there isn't a specific 'pre-law' major, so I'm wondering what undergrad majors would best set me up for success in law school and as a lawyer?!

Hi! It's true that there isn't a specific 'pre-law' major, but don't worry, there are plenty of undergrad majors that can prepare you well for law school and a career in law. Some popular options include Philosophy, Political Science, English, History, and Economics.

That being said, law schools value a diverse range of perspectives, and you can major in almost anything as long as you maintain a strong GPA and develop critical thinking, reading, and writing skills. On top of that, consider joining clubs, internships, and activities related to law to gain relevant experience. Ultimately, choose a major that you're passionate about and excel in, as it will show law schools that you're capable of success in a rigorous academic environment. Good luck!
