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.
