Is a science major limiting for a career in patent law?

I’m going to a be a senior in high school this year, and am considering intellectual property law as a career. I realize that in order to be eligible to take the bar exam, I need to major in physics, biology, chemistry, or engineering (sorry if I forgot a few).

If I majored in biology or chemistry, would I be restricted to only working with medical/science related patents? If so, how limiting would that be? Would that hurt my chances in getting into a big law firm?
