[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strong writing ability is the most important criteria. He can major in anything. He has to be able to write a decent sentence, paragraph, and essay.[/quote] Law grad here. Pretty much agree with this. In my experience engineers struggled in law school, [b]but math, econ, and hard science majors did not, for whatever reason[/b]. I’m not sure why that is really. Just anecdotal. Of the ones in my class who were Law Review (top 10% of class), we came from a mix. Private top 100(Usc, Vanderbilt, Gtown, Syracuse that I can remember), state schools like Wisconsin, UMass, W&M, and SLACS like Bowdoin, Holy Cross, Grinnell, Haverford, F&M. Those are the ones I can remember. There were 25-30 of us. PoliSci offered no real advantage. No major did that I can recall. [/quote] We are very analytical. I loved English and Bio in HS. My dad suggested the science major since I dabbled in thinking of medicine. My highest part of the SAT was the analytical section which didn't even count, near perfect score. I loved critical analysis and creative writing. I always knew the underlying theme of a novel and to this day watching movies and series I am telling everyone what something meant or was inferred long before they see it. I stayed in science, but write and analyze for a living. I am not in a lab. So many of my friends have a science degree [i]and [/i]a law degree and found law school a cake walk. I do have one friend that was an English major at UVA and went to Med school and is now a doctor.[/quote]
