What is my best path into law school?
I met with a pre law advisor today, and it’s made me rethink everything. To start, he let me know that political science won’t prepare me for the lsat or law school so I should ideally major in something I enjoy or can fall back on. I’m interested in corporate law so I’m thinking something business/ finance related, but what are some good majors that aren’t necessarily just “business” or “finance”? He did say that a legal studies minor is what will actually prepare me for the lsat and law school, so I’m gearing towards that. I was also interested in philosophy because I’ve heard they tend to do better on the lsat , but he let me know that’s actually often not too true/significant. To add, I’m also interested in psychology / sociology and think they would be a good compliment for my law career. I guess what I’m asking is: what all of this is true and where should I pivot regarding majors and minors? (I’m open to doubling in either as well) Secondly, I’m a first year but I came in with high school credits classifying me as a sophomore, so with my current full time load I’m on track to graduate in the next 3 years. My resume needs a lot of work and filling up, and I’m not sure I’m gonna have enough time to properly study for the lsat, get internships, and join/lead organizations while still having to work. Should I lighten my course load and graduate in the typical 4 years to pad my resume, or continue on my full time course path? Thirdly, I’ve been cold emailing firms and trying to secure an internship for this summer but I’ve had no luck this far. Any tips or methods for internships? He also gave me an insight to what law school will actually be like regarding the course load, exams, and the frequent grillings I’ll get . I mean I knew law school was gonna be hard, but I wasn’t expecting 3 years of pure hell. The meeting really brought me back to reality and made me question if I’m cut out for law school and everything I thought I knew about how to get there. I would really just like to know if a political science degree is worth it and will be beneficial to me and any advice on my path into law school.

Any advice or insight for becoming a corporate transactional lawyer?
Hi! I’m a 15-year-old student interested in becoming a corporate transactional lawyer in the future. I know it’s a pretty specific path, and I’m still trying to understand what the role actually looks like day-to-day. I’d love to hear from anyone in the field (or close to it): – What does a typical workday look like for you? – What skills do you rely on most? – Is there anything I can start doing now, at my age, to prepare — even in small ways? I’d really appreciate any honest advice or insight. My school is starting to talk about future careers, and I’d love to have a clearer idea of whether this path could truly be a good fit for me.

What kind of corporate law careers are available to Finance majors?
For context, I am a prospective transfer student, wanting to go into the University of Florida under their BSBA Finance program. Because I'm about to graduate with an associate's in business administration, I want to map out my education and career pathway as concretely as possible, as I head closer to getting into law school. I ultimately hope to become a corporate lawyer, but realize that business law involves a broad spectrum of specific practices.

If not, what undergraduate degree program should I pursue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. #Spring25

What does the BAU actually do?
Okay- I admit I've been watching a little too much criminal Minds- but I was wondering what they actually do. I find interesting- "profiles." I think that it's a great tool to really get into a criminal's minds- no pun intended. I've watched my fair share of law enforcement tv shows- and they all have inspired me. But- I don't know exactly what would fit me best- Anyways, The BAU is very interesting, helpful and cool. I really want to know what they really do? IS the show accurate? Do they actually investigate? Or do they just give profiles? #law #business #criminalminds #newyork # #criminal-justice #lawyers #corporate-law #FBI #BAU #law-enforcement #enforcement

As an incoming undergraduate hoping to apply to law school upon completing my degree, what kind of extra-curricular involvement would benefit me most in the application process?
I'm currently a high school senior applying as finance and information systems management major to schools in LA, New York, Boston , and DC. As of now, I plan to pursue law school after graduation but perhaps with the application deferral (1-2yrs) offered by many law schools in order to use my degree first in the business world (some real world experience would be great). As I have not yet entered college I would like to know, aside from GPA and LSAT score (which I realize are the #1 components in the first place), what kind of opportunities (extra-curricular and otherwise) I should be looking for and taking advantage of to set me apart in the application process to T-14 schools. #law-school #law #corporate-law
