I want to go to law school and be a lawyer. What are the most Veeky Forums majors to take for undergrad?

Wrong. Law schools only care about your LSAT score. A high score on the test can get you admitted to elite schools even with lower gpas

lol, i mean its a composite of both your lsat and gpa, where lsat is admittedly the more important of the two w/ the caveat being that top schools enforce gpa floors so you cant drop too low no matter how high your lsat.

Not necessarily. A 4.0 in engineering will go wayyyy farther then a 4.0 in a plebeian major. However it's hard to get that 4.0

Philosophy majors are consistently some of the best at the LSAT.

Bamp

But imagine the kinda people you'd share the classes with. Yuck

Then you're a fucking retard if you think pre-med/medicine is on the same level as math or physics

Pre med is a huge meme, it's just a bio degree taken by annoying faggots who don't care the least about biology

*BRAAAPPP* *FFTTFFTTS *PLOP* *SPALSH*

Why do you subhumans post this kinda stuff? Brap posting should be an autobannable offense.

Unironically music or drama majors.

they usually do it to deter people from posting thots, or their waifu in general. It's supposed to quell cirlejerks. You see that a lot in Taylor Swift threads for example. Back in the day (pre-2010) people would just spam scat porn in threads they don't like. This is a lighter alternative.

Actual fartfags don't like that either.

mmm yes... quite pungent indeed

I heard somewhere that STEM majors and philosophy majors usually get the highest lsat scores.

Most school one want you to meet a minimum for GPA and its not a high one, even top tier US schools will accept you if you can get above 174 and have a B average

Only true answer - or business/commerce/econ/finance if you wanna do corporate accounting/finance law. Don't do criminology.

this is the right answer

something that will be completely useless to you when you fail to complete law school

If you don't have connections or aren't going to a really good school or aren't really good at networking a law degree is a pretty big gamble.

>hurr durr I'm an undisciplined loser so that means everyone else is too

I've been prepping for the LSAT for 2 years, I'm prepared to blow it out of the park. I'm getting into a top school.

Philosophy.
Just passed the bar exam. Make absolutely sure you want to do this--you might end up worse off than before.

How was law school and if you don't mind divulging, where did you go?

I went to Fordham. The first year is the most difficult and also the year in which you have to do the best. If you can make it past 1L, you're good.

Also, it's nothing like college. Every class is graded on a curve. If you do A work and everyone else does A+ work, you're getting a B-.

Neuro fellow here

Neuro might be the least effay specialization out there. Everyone is old and burnt out

Cool stuff.

I'm really torn between which major to take for undergrad. I'm meeting with my academic advisor on monday to decide on one.

Law sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Took the Lsat, the whole 9 and then walked.

I've made far more than i ever could have just
by being a stoned real estate agent and sound designer.

Elaborate why, please.

...

Is that enough for University of Chicago to give you a scholarship?

no : - (
unless youre an underrepresented minority

But is it enough for acceptance to Chicago, just not on scholarship?

because they overwork you, drill formal logic into your mins until autism sets in (watch 2-3rd year law students at a party, srs). and the payoff is no guarantee of anything more than a life of paperwork, late nights and shit take out while you pray for partner status. Law is Boring AF.

Only the partners really get paid, unless its a fluke of sheer case load.

Meanwhile, I take a two week course, drop 3-400 bux total, Grab a notary license while i'm at it and save all of that tuition. And that time. The dregs of my youth.

And I make some connects and rent apartments, collecting upwards of 2500 bux for 15 minutes work. Then I stop working for the rest of the month (im an independent contractor, the office cant tell me shit).

Then Play.. Play music, play board games, vandalize the city, go out and get wild, get hired by producers and hotels, slowly transitioning towards full time artist.

Teach me the ways of real estate. I want to do it on the side and make money from it.

You can't do it 'on the side' until you have clients, landlords, supers, tenants.... all in your pocket, next to a wad of cash.

I can't teach you anything but the laws, everything else is "Figure it out, fgt!" and that's why the majority of new agents fail. You gotta know who dying, and then talk them into giving you an exclusive. You gotta be a bit sheisty someimes, and exude enough "fuckawayfromme" to keep your office mates at bay. While taking shit from picky clients, real estate tourists and HUD equal housing testers. You gotta bend laws. But if you can hustle, why the fuck youd do anything else is beyond me.

What about just buying up places and renting them out? There's money in that, right?

sure, once you have lots of money, know the rising neighborhoods, know how to game the mortgage system so you're always in debt while being loaded with tax free money, when you know what can be written off on your taxes as far as repairs VS improvements, when you can read a tenant's file and body language and know whether they gon be trouble. When you know about construction.... that's big. I worked historical restoration for years, so I can read a shit renovation job in under 5 minutes. I KNOW that door is from home depot. I know the asshole owner threw out 18th century wood panelling for paper thin sheetrock. I am steaing the panelling in question from his dumpster and using it in my buildings, because the majority of tenants in BK want authentic digs, and not 1/4 in plywood & a shitty dishwasher with some no frills window treatments.

You need an airtight lease. you need to know EVERYthing that a tenant can fuck up. Leave the stove going over a two week vaycay? I seen it. 20 pairs of kicks in a washing machine, destroying its motor? Scene it.

hi friendos
i'm about to start psychology, and i plan to get a masters while i live off youth allowance (australia) and try to make my music a liveable income. that's an effay career decision right?

any psychologists here wanna weigh in?

>I want to go to law school and be a lawyer.
don't. there's an overstauration of lawyers

wow this sure sounds more comfortable and less time consuming than my consulting job

There's an oversaturation of shitty lawyers from small town law schools.
Lawyers from top universities are always employed and successful

One you can get a good gpa in and have time to study for lsat

Philosophy classes are full of chicks. You're right, girls are yucky.

Philosophy also enables you with skills like critical thinking and deduction which are invaluable throughout life.

M E D F A M

MS3 right here. I'm considering EM but still keeping an open mind.

get ready to work your ass off. it's not worth it to go to law school if you don't get into at least a top10. otherwise you'll have lots of trouble finding work.

>shit you can't find a job in
>pseud bullshit

>philosophy

>Philosophy also enables you with skills like critical thinking and deduction which are invaluable throughout life.

Holy fucking shit, this board.

autism is everywhere

>has no argument

I go to a top ten law school and majored in history - make of that what you will.

Can you tell us which one?

mathematics or science will get the administrators deepthroating your application to get you in

Why not criminology?

Arch student and learning Italiano
Ask the master Race anything

The money's better and I'm the boss.

because they want to make a graduating class of autismal logic driven procedural robots

doing OBGYN.

MS3 here.

what state are you at famalam? I'm in MD/DC area.

Stem or trade skill

> implying an OP that's picking a a major based on what a mongoloid fashion forum thinks will get into a top university

The people who get into top law schools are smart driven people who know what they're passionate about. Or just smart fucking math and engineering majors.

Has anyone ever been more wrong?
It's about a good LSAT score and a convincing personal essay. Top schools will overlook your GPA comletely assuming it's not shit low, as long as you do the others well.

>not being a Geology major in 2017

nobodys passionate about law you cockend its a good high paid job thats it, you fuckin fags raised on self help are disgusting

Literally any major besides "pre-law" is a good pre law subject

pre-2000 it was literature

post 2000 it is engineering/comp sci

this is just my opinion.

for the record i was molecular biology

rad.

im in the midwest.

>Not being a software engineer in 2017
I'll be making 6 figures this year and I slay all the nerd girl pussy that comes in because I work with a bunch of neets with no social skills.

all the students at our physics department dress like hobos

You're not going to make it in any decent law school, wondering what is Veeky Forums.
Most law students are business majors.

Depends on what area in law you're doing. If you do alright in your autismo STEM field, you can become a patent lawyer and rake in money faster than you can buy shit with. I took my LSAT and did moderately well (got accepted into a few 10's, albeit with shit financial aid) and my undergrad work (Physics and Secondary Education) opened a lot of doors. Now I'm trying to become a principal in 5ish years because I prefer education overall.

STEM. No question.

t. third-year law student

Stem is too hard

Philosophy has NO place in the 21st century, it's just purely intellectual self-masturbation by pseuds who think they'll find a career out of thinking hard.

but i am

You're a minority and underrepresented desu

kek
most "white people" in uni are jews

true,
that being said i majored in polisci and econ and am in pretty good shape for applying to law school. You dont need to go to top ten but if you dont go to top ten you do need to be in a regionally strong school (where do firms in your area/city u want to be in hire from besides top10)
or you need to be in a school strong in your practice area.
and above all you need to be at the top of your class if youre not in top 10. Even if you are in top 10 school you're not guaranteed a job if you're not near the top of your class so dont just go to columbia and fuck around.
Also true that the first year matters the most - that determines your first year internship, and thats what employers care about, because those are the only classes that are the same across all schools and interests

Also, when it comes to LSAT Scores, in order to get a scholarship at any school you just need to be above the median for their school. That's it.

Not only is it 'hard' . a 4.0 in engineering (not so much civil or industrial, but even then) is goddamn AMAZING. avg gpa is about 2.8 I beleive because the junior/senior classes will bend you over and rape you with a spiked dick.

Jewish master race desu, how will you goyims compete with smaller brains?

I don't know how true this is, but that as a profession, lawyers have some of the highest rates of alcholism/depressioin and suicide.

kind of like what this guy says

>research done by jews says that jews are more intelligent
rly makes me think

>law school admission is basically purely GPA and LSAT score
>philosophy is easy to get a great GPA in
>philosophy is basically all dry reading + logic games -> high LSAT scores

Don't be a dumbass. If the goal is to get to law school, philosophy is probably the best choice in general. Overall most benefit for least work.

>I slay all the nerd girl pussy that comes in
its sounds like youre trying to make this career sound better than it actually is

why would you want to go into a field flooded to fuck

Law is Veeky Forums as fuck

>philosophy easy to get a high GPA in
Maybe at some places, but Ivies and schools with strong philosophy departments make you work a lot for a good GPA (still very doable, but be prepped for a shitton of dense reading and writing)

Psychologie is fa af

>ever doing a prelaw program
Hope you like having a shit GPA and going to Cooley.

This.
False. They care about both. While there are stories of extreme splitters getting into T14 with sub-3.0 GPAs, it's hard as fuck even with a 170+ LSAT.
This is complete bullshit. They don't give a fuck what your major is. At all. Just that you have a good GPA and good LSAT. It is absolutely meaningless for law school admissions.

Nobody in biglaw gives a fuck what your undergrad major was. It helps to know the lingo, and it helps to have work experience in the corporate world. That's it.

The only place where there's more or less an actual undergrad requirement is if you want to do patent prosecution. And even then, you can do patent litigation without a science background, no problem.

Notre Dame. Loved my classmates, hated the curve bullshit.
