Hi, in my experience, law schools are open to people with unique majors, not just traditional ones like political science or a strict pre-law track - in fact, sometimes the more unique majors can help you stand out. I majored in English Literature and minored in Speech Communications and Theater when I attended a midwestern state school - and I ended up attending Northwestern Law School. Both my writing and my speech/theater background really helped during law school and in practicing law after school (and even help me today in my Human Resources career)! Don't feel restricted - focus on your passions and enjoy your college experience!
