<p>ok, so I need some help!
please give me exact requirements for IB graduates and does Harvard has Law for BA? or at least pre-law?
PLEASE ANYONE be so kind to deal with me )))</p>
<p>Harvard has no undergraduate program in law. There is no formal program in pre-law either. Students can major in anything and then be eligible applicants to Harvard Law School.</p>
<p>Somebody told me that too and I couldn’t believe! If McGill has law for BA whats the problem with Harvard? Is it because they would prefer people with wider horizons? And one more question to get into Harvard Law School you have to have LSAT right?</p>
<p>The “problem” with Harvard is that it is in the US and operates by American rules. in the US, you must be a college graduate to enter law school or be in a joint BA/JD program. McGill is in Canada and they have different rules. Even at McGill, only a small percentage of law students come directly from CEGEP. Most already hold bachelor degrees.</p>
<p>I understand, however I’ve heard that besides that rule there is this pre law which is like BA but for only 3 years which some schools in US have. So my question is why would the most prestigious law school wouldn’t have a pre-law program?</p>
<p>Because Harvard is the most prestigious law school, they do not have to appeal to students who want a short cut to a legal career. No law school in the US will admit a student without a bachelor’s degree and very few offer a combinmed program BA/JD, especially not the T14. </p>
<p>I don’t think you understand the notion of “pre-law”.</p>
<p>I think you are right, I don’t.</p>
<p>But short cut isn’t my goal you know. I want to do what I really like and that’s to study Law and I dont want to wait for 4 extra years plus the job experience to do what I like. But I also understand where the US rules are coming from so thanks.</p>
<p>So you are international. Prelaw just refers to the undergraduate program of study you pursue. There is usually a prelaw advisor who helps students prepare for the LSAT and the admissions process. Unlike medicine, there are no specific courses required for admission to law school although they recommend taking several writing courses. In the US, it will take you 4 plus 3 years to become a lawyer. If you go to law school outside the US and want to practice law in the US, there are a lot of hurdles to jump through. even Canadian law school grads are welcome only in NY and MA.</p>
<p>thanks for the explanation, I mean seriously it helped out a lot. I have a whole different perspective now. :)</p>
