Curiosity Poll - What was your undergraduate major? Forum

Will Criminal Justice undergrad major be accepted into law schools? I heard it's not a good major but I am not sure. Can someone enlighten me please?

Yea. At least one poster here is at a T14 with a CJ degree.

LOL @ the plethora of English and Humanities majors. I guess that's obviously a smart decision GPA wise. While yall were studying the concepts and differences of philosphies, I was taking calculus my freshmen year.

I took calculus in 10th grade. I can't believe you can get a college degree without taking it. But it's nice that people get to pick majors. Where/when I came from, they decide it for you.

I don't think calc should be required, but several courses of algebra and statistics definitely should be required. Most people never need to know calc but everyone should understand stats and probability.

Calculus is irrelevant to 99% of the working population. Why would anyone care if someone has taken it or not? (this coming from someone who has taken calculus in high school and college)

I think part of the reason its seen as a poor major is that CJ major have the lowest LSAT average of any Major 146 (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm? ... id=1430654) thus due to lower LSAT scores fewer CJ major will be in Law school. However if you have a strong GPA and LSAT CJ major shouldn't hurt you

Hey, I'm all about trade schools and vocational learning. Forget this comprehensive, renaissance education BS. It's just an excuse for kids to delay finding a job/figuring out what they want to do with themselves for 4 years while they blow their parents' money. People should seek training in what they want to do; everything else taught in college can be read in a book anyway.

BTW, I thoroughly enjoyed my college experience.

I think there is just a stigma that CJ is for retards. Which tbf it is. LSAT will wash away that shame though.

I get that all the time. I'm hoping that the three will make me as IPSecure as a more advanced degree would. I also wish major choice was a bigger soft

where my anthropologists at?!
i checked both other (humanities) and other (hard science), which is something i suspect only other students of anthro will understand.
i also vehemently point out that i have a (basically worthless) minor in italian, since thats what all of my actual work went towards during undergrad.
