"As a student interested in attending law school, I chose to pursue a degree in a Liberal Arts related field because of the preparation it would provide for a career in law. The wide breadth of my studies has helped me to develop into a well-rounded student. I feel that I can see issues from various academic disciplines due to my Liberal Arts education. This ability to think critically should suit me well in my future."
