That was the weird thing, is that she's normally really nice, fun to talk to. One of the reasons I was so pissed off.

This is all outside of my areas of expertise, but I recall English being a major well thought of by law schools. Don't go by me

Yeah, one guy I talked to compared Poli Sci to being a glorified English major. Or my friend making fun of his fiance's English degree.

I think that you have no chance at a good MBA school if you lack any 'real' work experience. The average age for GOOD MBA schools is usually around 28, right?

I don't know what the average age is, but I do know that I'm not a good candidate at this point in time. The only time I am considering an MBA is after law school.

Have either of you two considered JD/MBA Programs? Get a year or two of your life back and save tens of thousands of dollars. I know these are options at most Midwest schools I looked at. (DePaul, Loyola, UfC)

BTW.. That 210 rule is bizarre.. I know for a fact that in order to get a CPA, you need a few more credits than a usual BA. Have you taken a business courseload?

Every law professor I've asked this question to claims theirs is the "One True Path" to law school, including but not limited to Philosophy, English, Pre-Law.."

I considered it for a while, and I still am. It really depends on the composition of the program; if I spent the first two years doing only law courses so I could focus on it, then my third and fourth years were spent split between the two separate areas of study, I'd definitely do it.

Depending on what my options are come October of next year, I may increase my range of schools for which I am applying and include some top-tier schools that have MBA+JD programs as well as some upper-second-teir schools that offer similar programs.

Yeah, it is pretty draconian, a huge PITA. What do you mean by a "business" courseload?

I would imagine that anyone who can write well is highly-sought after by law schools, as so much of legal communication is through writing.

Add Poli Sci. It's a good liberal arts backup.

Enough courses in the right places to claim you're considering applying for a CPA. [/quote] According to your the Illinois CPA education requirements, you'd need 230 hrs before asking for an exemption.. Also requires a Acct. major though. Doesn't sound feasable though..

I'm in a simular pickle at the moment.. The private college I transfered to will be more than happy to take my money for a piece of paper.. But won't let me transfer 2 courses I so desperately need from elsewhere, claiming First done, first accepted.. clear violation of their handbook regs. (Calcfor Bus and Manageral Acct.) Now have to apply to a 4 yr school to get 2 bloody credits to apply to another 4 year school.. And they apply their own classes to transfer limit!! (I am a dead man once I hit senior standing)

I'm an economics major so far. I need the actual accounting degree to meet the educational requirements (about 1 year's worth of study in accounting subjects).

Don't know. Talk to professors at law schools and see what they say is important. I have heard that Logic and I assume math is pretty important to people going after a law degree. Isn't that what the BAR exam is all about applying logic and learned law/case history to specific problems on the test?

Semi-bump.

Good luck, you will get in.
I would say your chance is a lot higher than 50/50, or unless you want to say I have no chance of getting in.

Thanks. I appreciate the faith in my abilities.

I guess? I would say basic logic plays a large part in it.
