I'm a ninth grader, who is fascinated by psychology, anthropology, and neurology.
How hard is it to get a P.h.d, in one of these fields?
(I want to get my degree from an ivy league college, also.)

A PhD in Psychology from an Ivy League school? On a scale of 1-10 for difficulty, it's a 10!
Assuming you mean a PhD in Clinical Psychology, it is one of the most competitive fields - more competitive than medical school. Here are some numbers to consider -
-You will need a 4.0 GPA throughout college (no joke!)
-GRE scores of 1400 or above
-Research experience as an undegraduate student (preferably authored or atleast co-authored on atleast 1 journal article)
-Your undergraduate degree must be from a top school/good psych program.
