[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely does not help that she's a STEM major, that really has nothing to do with law school or the skills valued there. That's a real switch in interests - why does she want to go to law school? [/quote] I disagree. Many STEM grads do great in law school, and law schools often recruit them.[/quote] I never said STEM grads can't do well in law school, and as I clarified in my followup comment I wasn't saying it would hurt her. OP was asking if it would be seen as a leg up for her application, and I was responding to that. The skills you need in law school (reading, analytical, lots of writing) are not traditionally ones you use a lot in biology classes. Some of my classmates who had less traditional pre-law majors commented that the transition was particularly difficult for them.[/quote]
