Graduating early or take a minor?

Post by jj8765 » Tue Jul 27, 2021 5:09 pm

I am currently entering my second year as an undergraduate student, and I will graduate in December of 2022. I entered university with a large amount of college credit which has set me on a trajectory to graduate 1.5 yrs early. I am currently contemplating adding a minor to graduate a year early, but I am on the fence about it. I am paying tuition out of pocket, and I wonder if law schools care if you get a minor? Would graduating this early and applying to law school to enter in 2023 put me at a disadvantage? I plan on taking the LSAT this spring. Any advice?

They don't care if you minor- if you are paying tuition get in and get out asap. My only caveat is that if your GPA is super low and you feel you can really increase your GPA by getting the minor then go ahead. But I don't see a point really. I'd also try other career options before pursuing law and take a couple years break in between law school and UG.
Study and do well on the LSAT.
