Nope. LSAT/GPA matter. Take the classes that you want and do your best.jaminben wrote:I'm a poli sci major i know a lot of pre-law people are too so i minored in geological sciences but, honestly does major/minor really matter at all?
+1. And possibly Math majors.xyzzzzzzzz wrote:Not at all, with the possible exception of hard science.

Agreed...if IP is a goal, engineering or other hard science is a must. Right now, electrical engineers are most sought after for IP jobs. Don't get lured into doing so-called "soft IP"--copyrights and trademarks--as most firms will go for someone who can do patents as well, for which you need the hard sciences.cardinalandgold wrote:Not unless you want Patent/IP Law. Otherwise, focus on your GPA and LSAT.

Only bother with this if you honestly want to bust your ass for all four years without a break. I have never heard of someone getting into a top school because they double majored. In fact, you risk jeopardizing your GPA, because the requirements to obtain the double major are often very rigorous and students find themselves having trouble keeping up.s0ph1e2007 wrote:what about double major versus single major?
