I know that it is close to impossible to even be considered for Harvard. I also know I'm in 7th grade and I shouldn't be worrying my pretty little head off about college just yet. But, I've just always wanted to attend Harvard Law and become a lawyer. I'm awesome at arguing, and I take all pre AP classes and have all 95s and above in them. If I kept this up, do you think I would have a chance off getting into Harvard? Also what could I do to have a better chance of getting accepted?
 
You need a 4-year college degree to apply to law school, and you don't have to do it at Harvard to get into Harvard Law. Harvard itself turns down thousands of valedictorians, straight-A students (only counting 9th grade on), and perfect SAT scorers every year. You'd probably do fine there, but so would the other thousands of students who don't get in, because Harvard takes about 5% of applicants, and they all have high grades and test scores. If you want to go to Harvard, you have to find some way to really stand out.

Or you could look around a bit more. There are hundreds of fantastic schools out there, and just because you haven't heard at them at the age of ... what, 13? Doesn't mean you can't get a great education there.
