What Major should I take if I wanna get into Law?
I've been thinking about psychology and a minor in philosophy since I heard that those two are really helpful, especially for the LSAT, but I'm still not super confident. I know Political Science and Criminal Justice are great candidates too, but I need help deciding !!

Hey Xiomara!
Any major can get you into law school—they care way more about your GPA, LSAT, and experiences than what you studied.
Psych + philosophy minor is a smart pick—psych helps with understanding people and arguments (lots of lawyers come from it), and philosophy crushes LSAT logic (applicants often score highest there). Poli sci is super common (like 18% of applicants get in at 74-75% rates), and criminal justice gives real-world law vibes too.
Go with what you love most and ace it—add debate club or internships to stand out. You've got solid options!
All the best

I would suggest pick the subject you’ll enjoy and excel in, then use electives to build writing and analytical strength. That way, you’ll be set up for both a great GPA and LSAT success. Actually Psychology with a Philosophy minor is a smart combo — you’ll understand people and sharpen your reasoning skills. All the Best :)
