How do law schools view "unique" UG majors? I'm coming from a science background (materials engineering to be specific) and I'm wondering if my background will give me an advantage, disadvantage, or not really matter when applying for law schools.
Thanks!

Yoo spot on hahhaha @connollykev567. Math scares the hell out of me.
@974 awksss.
@connollykev567 @476 i realized i could do math in graduate school - woops. #ENGLmajor
@476 hahah the struggle of those who can't do math
@connollykev567 ,Poli Sci ay? That'll get the adcomms head spinning. (Coming from a history major lol)
@wastesarah715 If you're journey to law is really interesting, go ahead and write about it. If you can write a better PS about something else, don't worry about explaining your decision to do law.
Yeah, if anything it can make you more unique. I'll be one of the droves of Political Science majors entering law school *so different*
It's a feather on the scale and requires no explanation.
Law is so versatile, I can't see your major, especially engineering, posing a disadvantage to your application. No worries.
Edit: there's quite a few people I know of that are in law school with an engineering degree. They tend to practice patent law.
Nope, not important. They will ascertain the "why is she applying" from your personal statement.
@476 It's just such a drastic change of career paths. Not sure if they would look at my major and be like "why is she applying?"
Why do you feel your major is something that is "needed" to be explained in the PS?
@476 GPA isn't a concern at all. Just wondering if it's something I need to explain in my PS.
STEM majors tend to have an advantage when it comes to your GPA if I remember correctly from what @davidbusis895.busis said in his webinar.
