Pre-Law is an advisory track, not a degree. Law schools admit applicants from every undergraduate major and explicitly value diversity of academic background. The strongest pre-law preparation focuses on three things: a high GPA in a rigorous major (top-10 majors for LSAT performance include History, Economics, Political Science, Math, Philosophy, English, and Mathematical Sciences), strong analytical writing, and a competitive LSAT score (national median 152; top-14 schools target 170+).

Undergraduate pre-law tracks usually layer on courses in constitutional law, legal writing, ethics, and logic. CampusPin's pre-law tag identifies schools that publish pre-law advising structure. Graduates apply to law school during senior year (or take a "K-JD" gap year or two before applying).
