What Kinds of Students Major in Pre-Law?

Law schools are primarily interested in students who possess strong analytical and communication skills. They prefer students who have a diverse educational background to those who have a narrow academic focus. Thus, students planning to attend law school may select virtually any undergraduate major. Competition for admission to top-ranked law schools is quite intense. To be seriously considered by one of these schools, it helps to have a high GPA and a strong performance on the LSAT exam. Students who major in law are individuals who are well adapted to hard work and rigorous schedules involving multiple classes and a lot of studying. Individuals in this major are focused upon becoming professional lawyers, judges, prosecutors, corporate ?in house? counsel or some other law-related positions. These individuals usually like to be in positions of influence within society and like to know that they make a positive difference in the world in what they do.
