Undergrad degree choices for going to law school or getting mba?
My current majors are electrical engineering and finance. I chose these to have diverse options once I complete an undergrad degree to either go to law school, get an mba, or get a masters in some kind of engineering. I was wondering what would best complement my finance degree to get into law school or a top mba program, electrical engineering or mathematics as a second degree? Also, engineering majors typically have lower gpas then other majors such as finance or mathematics because of the nature of the program. Would top law schools and mba programs take this into account for admittance? Or is it all about the gpa? I go to UGA and want to get into a much better school (Top 10) after undergrad, any tips on achieving this? I also heard that people with majors in something analytical such as mathematics have no problem getting into top MBA programs and law schools, is that true?

- Not sure about the MBA option. However, if you wanted to get an MBA degree would it not be advisable to major in business. Would depend on what you truly wanted to do after you get your degree. Law schools will accept any degree if your grades are high enough. Can not speak to MBA as I went to law school after obtaining my BS in business. Analytical thinking is important but the better school of thinking is logic. Many of my peers have English degrees. My former secretary got into a law school program with a BS in Social Sciences and is working on a Masters degree while attending Law School. Your LSAT tests will be very important in law school acceptance, even to a certain extent over what degree you may hold. Make your decision and then commit 100% to that goal. Good Luck.
- Get the engineering degree and then go for law and concentrate on patent law.
