Making Curriculum Choices:

When you are choosing what to major in or what courses to study, it is critical that you study in areas that require extensive reading and writing in the field (e.g. Anthropology, English, History, Honors Program, Integrated Studies, Philosophy, Political Science or any major in which you are writing at least 20 total pages per semester, if not 20-page papers) and where the faculty is giving very specific feedback for your writing.  You need to use the resources in the Writing Labs on campus and get feedback from your professors. Don't be shy about that; it is the best preparation for law school.
