Should I double major, or add a minor?
Students often ask me this question, and I prefer to answer it on
an individual basis. That being said, I do have a piece of general
advice. Do not add majors or minors simply to look good to law
schools. Double majors are fine, but they do not really distinguish
you from the pack—certainly not as much, say, as a good LSAT score
would. Instead of adding another major and staying in school longer,
think about using all of the time that you would need to devote to
it for your LSAT preparation instead. |
