okay, so i'm planning to go to law school, but considering i'm in high school it's quite a while away! but i would like to know how much it costs to go to harvard law school. i've considered the university of texas law school and even usc law school. anyway, the main question here is how expensive is it and how hard it is to get in. i know, i know, harvard is one of the top law schools in the country and it's probably an arm and a leg to get in. but i would greatly appreciate it if you answered my question and even added some extra details about harvard law! thank you! :)

  2. There are many top law schools in the country--actually sometimes Yale and Columbia come out higher in the rankings.  You need to go to a fairly good UG university and get excellent grades and top LSAT scores no matter which top law schools you are considering.  The UG coursework needs to be rigorous--no or few easy classes--and political science is NOT always the best major.  Law schools want a variety of majors in their classes, and they look for students who show outstanding critical reasoning ability--lately it's been noted that top philosophy schools best prepare students for law school.  You should also check into activities that make you more competitive--debate is the obvious choice, as are programs that lead to awards or recognition such as science programs or writing contests.  

    Top law schools now run about $45,000 a year, meaning about $75,000 a year minimum for all expenses.  There are scholarship and financial aid available, but you would have to borrow money.  When you attend that kind of program it is expected that you will earn enough to repay the loan.
