There are two ways to get in:
1. Score 175+ on the LSAT with good grades
2. Score 172+ on the LSAT with fantastic grades and good 'soft factors'
The best way to improve your soft factors is to do something interesting with your life. Teach in Asia, spend a year rebuilding Katrina, become a legislative aid in Congress, etc.
If you really want to go to Harvard Law, do everything you can to crack 175. I taught an LSAT course and did timed drills for a year. It was worth it - this is a great law school.

To start you might want to try getting accepted.. not excepted.
I assume you're still in high school (if not younger). Work on your english composition skills. Your english class (writing comp.) is the most important class you are taking right now for a future in law school.
But for Harvard, you'll need to do well in all of your classes. In undergrad, you'll need to maintain a very high GPA while still maintaining an impressive course load. No specific degree is better than any other. I've known economists, biologists, chemists, engineers, pharmacists, and even musical theater majors that went on to law school.

Law would be a difficult one. For medical, all you need to do is to cure cancer. For business, just start your own national retail chain as a high schooler. It's a little more abstract for law but I'm sure you can think of something.

They get accepted, not excepted. Quite frequently, they also get wait-listed, or rejected.
Congratulations on setting unattainably high standards for yourself. Best of luck.

Be a minority, a foreigner is an additional plus.

Practice, practice, practice!
Wait, no, that's what you do when you get out. My mistake.
