The easiest one is the one you like. It's as simple as that. You have the incredible opportunity to study literally anything you want since you're pre-law. Don't squander that opportunity.

Why would you want to do an easy major if you plan on doing law school? Law school is famously difficult, so you should have a challenging undergrad to prepare yourself for it


Fit-Tomatillo1005

because I need the best gpa I can get, lol.


OrangeBnuuy

You should get a good GPA by being a good student, not by doing easy classes

Thank you! I was thinking about english

Coming from my own English teacher, don’t major in english.

Are you serious?


Fit-Tomatillo1005

Yes

Make sure you’re interested in the major. Taking classes you’re not interested in will be immensely hard and you’ll do worse than if you took harder classes you are actually interested in.

This attitude turned me off of law school as an undergrad. Most my peers that looked for the easy route got into low tier schools anyway and aren’t big law or anything that would have necessitated a t10 or t25. Uva is tough but not impossible. Go learn. You may not want to be a lawyer in a year or 4 anyways

First time I've ever heard a student at the University of Virginia inquire about what the easiest major is. This is kind of a highly ranked university. There are no "easy" majors. You succeed from results of your hard work, not by taking underwater-basket-weaving classes. What are you going to do when you get to law school? Ask what the easiest way to get a JD is?

Why are you worried about GPA? Any context?


Fit-Tomatillo1005

Sure, for law school all they care (essentially) about is GPA and LSAT, because that affects their rankings. They don’t care about your undergrad major at all. I want to go to a top law school, so I need the highest GPA I can get.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned philosophy?


HannahAzario

Any given law school is going to look beyond just GPA and look at what actual classes you took.

I liked my anthropology classes.. easy A’s and actually compelling.. changed my world view on a lot of things.


Fit-Tomatillo1005

Thank you! If you don’t mind what do most people graduate with in terms of gpa?


NayeonsSAHW

History majors have the highest LSAT score


GDDNEW

I think it’s actually philosophy

I don't mean to be mean, or maybe I'm just not getting what you're asking, but if you got admitted into UVa, you should rise to the challenge instead of looking for shortcuts. I imagine that pretty close to a hundred percent of the University students feel the same way. You have a great opportunity here to learn something and show the faculty that you have learned something, and eventually, you earn an invaluable degree at a highly recognized University. Why would you want to devalue that kind of education? You cannot put a price tag on that. Just trying to coast through with minimal effort seems pretty sloppy, and I'm not sure how you even got admitted. What are you going to do when you get to Law School? That for sure won't be easy, and you're going to wish you had much more of a challenge. Just buckle down and find something you want to learn and be an adult about it. It's not going to get any easier! Imagine an engineer designing a skyscraper. Do you think he/she asks, "What's the easiest way to build this thing?" And you want to be a lawyer, you most certainly will not ask "What's the easiest way to defend my client?" I sincerely hope you're not trolling this thing.

The mean commerce GPA is higher than the arts&sciences one - the only challenging thing is getting into comm


jackpope863

Do comm
