<p>I've always wanted to go to Harvard Law School (I want to work in global human rights) but my first passion, and what I want to pursue during college is writing. Yes, I am applying to Ivies but if I don't 't get into one, I may chose to go to Emerson College in Boston to get my BFA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing (is poses the most emphasis on writing).
If I do get into an Ivy, or another one of my top choices like UChicago or Duke I'll most likely stick with those and major in English or Philosophy with a Writing Minor.
I know with an English or Philosophy degree from an Ivy or Tier 1, I'd have a good chance.
But my question is, if I got my BFA from Emerson, with a 4.0 and got 175+ on my LSATs, would I have a chance at Harvard Law?
I'm sort of stuck between my two passions right now and I'd like a little advice.</p>
<p>Another thing I wanted to add, since I can’t edit this. Would anyone have recommendations as to other creative writing programs or ones that would be better in relation to my long-term goals for law school?</p>
<p>Undergrad school has next to no importance to Law School admissions. Type of undergrad degree may, but as long as the program is reasonably rigorous (which emerson’s is) then a 4.0 and high LSAT won’t keep you out of anywhere. But a 4.0 and high LSAT are extremely hard to do even for very smart people. It takes a lot of work and may not necessarily be worth it.</p>
