Answer 1

Judging on the way you write, based on the the wording of your question my conclusion is that you are not ready for the life at law school in the United States. Your word and sentence structure is appaling, your use of capitals is very high-school and childsh. Never heard of punctuation?

Law school is very, very difficult program, one which I believe you would not cope well with at your current education level.

First of all, Law School in the United States in a graduate program, meaning that you must possess at least a Bachelor's Degree (four-years of higher-education, after your A-levels) before you are even considered eligible to apply to a Law School.

So at 18, you will not meet the requirements to apply for admission. You are looking at least until you are 21. Two years for your A-levels and 3-4 years for your Bachelor's Degree.

What you should be doing now is deciding on which A-levels and eventually which major for your Bachelor's Degree would put you in a better position to eventually apply to a Law School in the United States. Consider courses such as English, History, Political Science, Psychology, Philosophy and Sociolgy. Any course or degree program (which leads to a Bachelors) that will develop your English and critical writing skills, critical thinking and anayltical skills. Also something which will provide you with the opportunity to do some indepentant thinking and research. You will need all of these skills to suceed in law school.

Once the time actually comes to applying to a law school in the United States, it is just a case of deciding which law school would meets your acedemic and financial needs and then visiting their website. On the website you will find all of th requirements you need to meet in order to apply for admission as an international student.

Remember that you will also need an F1 student visa to study in the U.S. so an interview at the U.S. Embassy in London will be required once you accepted into a law school.

You will also need to take the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) to apply to a school and also you will need to start saving up, since law school in the U.S. will cost you about $35,000 per year. Law School typicaly takes 3-4 years. So you are looking at between $105,000-$140,000 for the duration of your studies. This does not include books, rent, untilites, medical insurance, food and other living expenses.

You will also have to decide what you want to do once you have graduated from law school; stay in the U.S. or return home? If you decide on the latter, you will require further education back in England in order to practice law there.

Answer 2

It's not that hard, just go to the schools website and order an application for international students,. Fill out the application and submit it. You may want to apply to  more than one school just in case you don't get into your first choice. Also, beware that students from out of the country have to pay a higher tuition fee than students from the states. Good luck.

Answer 3

You can apply to study at a university in the US, or to take part in a year long exchange, but should bear in mind that there is competition for places, so you might want to put in some work on your spelling and grammar.

As part of the visa application process, you will have to write a paragraph about why you want to study in America. In your application you will of course have to avoid using "like" "2" for "to", etc, and Starting Each Word With A Capital Letter!

There are numerous student exchange programmes (example given below) and there should be a careers advisor at your college to help you with this.
