Should I take law classes?

Hi, fellow freshman here.

There are a few things you could do. First, colleges don't always go for experts in one field. They want people who can handle any situation. In other words, well-rounded or experienced in a little bit of everything. So you could try taking classes in anything you want. Have fun with it!

Another possibility. I don't know how your school works, but at my school we have to take electives that fill different requirements. For example, my school asks for Visual/Performing Arts, 21st Century Life and Careers, or Career Technical Education electives. If your school is like this, then you can do what I'm doing. Take all the required courses freshman and sophomore years, then take classes that'll help your future plans. For example, law and science courses for you.

One other way is taking some strong science classes and electives, since that's what you want to do. Take Honors Bio/Science, for example, then take some other law electives, so you don't feel unprepared or lacking. Or take Honors Bio, Honors English, and an Honors Gov or World/US History Class(since these are all classes helpful for your plans). Then for electives take some relaxed courses that are either related to your future career goals or just for fun!

Best of luck, and remember, don't drown yourself in school. After all, we're just freshmen.
