I am a Senior in College, is it too late to be a lawyer? Pre-Law , changing major?

All my life I have pursued chemistry. It hasn't been my best subject but it has always intrigued me, up until now. I am finishing junior year (this May) and am completing my biochemistry degree (premed). When I started college I had all A's in chem. Now I am averaging Cs in Organic 1 and up. 

I believe I am more interested in law school but my entire college career has been centered around the sciences with a few gen eds about history, philosophy english. Being realistic, can I salvage a Law career?

I won't get into detail about why I am pursuing law. Essentially my drive for premed was money driven, with law I can genuinely see myself changing people's lives. 

What are my options, is this realistic?

    The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    Source(s): Money will be electronic. Gov't will say someone lost their card or it was stolen; now, they have "solution" aka "mark of the beast system"... because no one will steal your hand/forehead. Remember Book of Revelation says: mark of the beast = permanent hell; forgive me.

    There is no such thing as "pre-law," no "pre-law" major or curriculum. You can major in anything and go to law school. Law schools do not care.

    You should work for a year or two and then decide, since you are so obviously uncertain right now.  If you do extremely well on the LSAT, you might compensate for the Cs in chemistry, especially if your other grades are excellent.

    It isn't too late. You can apply to Law School with any undergraduate major.  The issue is more likely going to be your GPA and whether or not you have the knowledge to score well on the LSAT.   You might need to take a few extra/additional classes in order to get that knowledge.

    Meet with a pre-law advisor ASAP.  Look at the courses normally recommended by law schools. Get an LSAT prep book and take a practice test to see how you do.

    Changing your major is a slightly different issue.  Again you'd need to met with an advisor to find out the specific policy at your university and how much longer you'd need to attend college to earn the credits needed for a different major.

    Yes. I was a biology major then went to law school. There are no prerequisite classes for law school, nor will any particular major (e.g. Political Science or Criminal Justice) prepare you better for law school.

    It would be helpful to have a couple of classes that require analytical writing.

    Law schools don't care what your major is. Law school admissions are based primarily on GPA and LSAT scores, with some consideration of letters of recommendation and sometimes additional factors for selective schools.  

    There are actually a number of science majors in law school, as a STEM degree is necessary to be licensed to practice patent law.  I've known students to go to law school with degrees in music, theater, art, biology, chemistry, engineering, psychology, criminal justice, history, political science, business, etc.  You can seriously go with any degree.

    You should be preparing for the LSAT, working to keep your grades as high as possible, and seeking out good people to write letters of recommendation.

    As correctly stated in the other answers, a Bachelors degree in any subject is required for law school.  Consequently, you do not have to change your major or take extra undergraduate courses.  You will need to the LSAT. On a cautionary note, be careful to research the job market for lawyers.  Its a field which has been flooded for several decades, and you want to go in with your eyes open.

    Unlike many post-baccaleurate subjects (like chemistry), law school does not have specific undergraduate prerequisites.

    But find a pre-law advisor for suggestions on electives, LSAT study, and law school admission.

    Undergraduate degrees are irrelevant to law school admission and success; except English. You can go to law school if your GPA is decent and do well in LSAT. Start practicing now.
