Answer 1

Go to http://www.harvard.edu/admissions/ and you will get what you want.

Law students usually need 8 years (after high school) to complete. If you're in Cambridge, just finish in there. It's one of top schools.

I think most of Hardvard students come from rich families but it doesn't mean they're uneducated. They come to Hardvard because they're qualified by their real grade. When seeing a paper written by a Hardvard student and another student from other school you may see the difference.

Poor students are still able to afford education at Hardvard by financial aid based on needed and loan.

Answer 2

Harvard still grades student based on social class. They're some of the richest, snobbiest, prejudiced people you'll ever meet (maybe not all of them). Its the basis of everything thats wrong with America.
Here's a story for you:
A husband and wife dressed in farming clothes go into the offices of Harvard and ask to see the Dean. The Harvard people ignore them because they look poor. Finally the dean agrees to see them because they won't leave.
The husband and wife say that their son had attended Harvard and they would like to the school to build something in memory of him.
The dean says that if they put up a statue for everyone who went to harvard and died it would look like a cemetry.
"Actually we were thinking of a building", they reply.
"A building would cost a million dollars," says the dean.
"Is that all it costs to start a university,' they ask. "We'll just start are own university."
That university is called Stanford--another top university in the US. Don't go to Harvard though. Those people are jerks.
In fact, you would probably have to be reborn in the New England area of the United States to attend. Most people who get into harvard have to make a donation to the school on top tution.

Answer 3

That story about Stanford doesn't sound accurate. Stanford was founded because of the death of Leland Stanford Jr, but he was 15 years old when he died. He could not have been a Harvard student.

To get into Harvard you will need to be upper class, but you'll also need the grades.

Answer 4

You need the highest grades for Harvard and other prestigious schools such as Berekeley, www.berekely.edu, or UCLA www.ucla.edu, accept students a great majority of their students who have Straight A's or close. Close may not be good enough though so post as many straight A's throughout your academic years.

Answer 5

You should contact Harvard and ask them.

Answer 6

do really hardcore courses
