Answer 1

You have a counselor in the school office who would be happy to meet with an eager and motivated student such as yourself. Ask who your school counselor is then set up an appointment and ask these questions. If you don't get the results that you are looking for contact Harvard Law on your own and Yale as well. Write them a handwritten letter of your intentions.

Answer 2

Advanced placement classes, doesn't matter what. Then go pre-law for a bachelor's degree, with a minor in whatever field you might specialize in. If you take latin now , you'll be ahead of the game when you get to law school.

Answer 3

Take as many advanced placement classes that you can, especially in history and english. Go talk to your guidance counseler, that is what they get paid for and they will definatly help you.

Answer 4

take the HIGHEST level of english and history that you can, and to increase your chances, take EXTRA english and/or history at your local community college. show em that u not only took AP history or honors english, but u took different categories or versions of the class elsewhere. that will help ALOT. good luck hun!

Besides the advanced classes take a lot of extra activities like debate, yearbook, etc...

Take history courses and crimal justice if you have them.
