[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the best lawyers I know majored in disciplines that demand and cultivate analytic skill, like chemistry, math, and music. [/quote]

I'm a STEM major who went to law school and graduated at the top of my class.

I thought the law degree was easier than my undergrad degree.[/quote]

That's generally true, it's those that attended less rigorous institutions and less academically rigorous programs of study that really struggle.  Of course it's difficult to graduate in the top ranks a T14 schools because everyone has high cognitive abilities and [b]those in less serious programs and institutions don't get admitted in the first place[/b].[/quote]

Not true. If you have a high enough GPA and LSAT, no one cares where you went or what you studied. I had a fluff major at a liberal arts college and got into every T14. I knew plenty of people in law school who went to undergrads I’d never heard of and studied elementary ed. [/quote]

Elementary ed majors from SUNY Potsdam are graduating at the top of the class at Cornell Law?  I have my doubts. [/quote]
