If he is positive that he is going to law school, (like I was) choose an easy

major and get a 4.0. I wish I had done that. I sit in my law school classes with art history and musical theater majors who got better scholarships than me for having near perfect GPA's in easier majors. Schools say they take the ease of different courses of study into account but based on what I've seen I don't believe it.
