I've always wanted to be a sniper for the Marines, but I don't know much about it at all. Anyone have any information about it for me? Like requirements educationally, and physically. And anything else that I should know or you think would be helpful.

The Marines pick you. You don't volunteer to become a sniper. The first criteria they seek is marksmanship. They look at their top shooters, interview them, if they pass muster, they are sent on to sniper school. Most snipers have time in service, they aren't necessarily taken from boot camp or ITR right into sniper school.
Education plays little part in the selection of snipers. As far as physical development, if you are already a Marine, you are already there, physically.

Marines is the first to land in enemy lines and unfortunately the first casualties comes from their group. It is the best fighting machine of any armed forces.

Talking to a recruiter would probably be more helpful to you.
