Is A Psychology Major Great For Law School?

Question

I plan on majoring in psychology, but my sole goal is to enter law school and become an attorney. Will majoring in psychology help me prepare for law school and a career in law, and is it an appropiate major for law school? Does anyone know anybody that has majored in psychology and entered law school? Thanks.

Answer 1

Psychology is very good major to prepare yourself for law school, in fact any of the social sciences are good majors to pursue: economics, psychology, philosophy etc.    

Answer 2

I majored in psychology and I know I would not be prepared for law school. You should major in political science or pre-law/humanities. You want to have that basic knowledge before you take your LSATs and graduate level courses.
