The BA would have been better preparation but the BME isn't bad either. It's not great prep for the LSAT but music is excellent prep for the way law school works. In law school, everything rides on that one performance. You prepare for it and then you do it. Sound familiar? Moreover - successful law students have to be able to jump out there in front of everyone and risk making a mistake - but not make the mistake. Sound familiar again? Prep for the LSAT and apply - someone has to manage those pop stars and deal with copyright law. ?

Prep for the LSAT and apply – someone has to manage those pop stars and deal with copyright law. ?

(love music ed, but....) I talked to our career center, and they've pointed me in the direction of LSAT prep classes, and i'll probably take some classes on my own online. good luck!

Your music degree is fine. It is not the best option for preparing you for the LSAT tests - but its not bad either. Thanks Bill No problemo. Your music degree is fine.
