  1. For Law Harvard and for medical hm...not sure...
  2. Medical for me would be U.T Southwestern, it is a great school.. I did my Bachelors at U.T in Austin which also went be fast and painless. But you don't just wake up and start looking to get into schools like this. I knew and started in seventh grade. Good luck in your search and I commend you for wanted a better education.
  3. These aren't really undergraduate majors. You have to go to Medical School or Law School after college. Most schools have a pre-med major you take in college, but it might not be called premed. It's usually a mixture of biology and chemistry. Basically, any of the schools that are good in science will be good for pre-med. Like MIT, Stanford, Cal Tech, Harvard, Duke, or UC Berkeley. Law is more complicated. You don't major in law as an undergrad, and you don't need to take a specific pre-law major either. The most popular majors for college students who want to go to law school are political science, economics, and history. But you can major in anything--English, music, mathematics, etc. as long as you do well get a good LSAT score. Law schools care about your undergraduate major a lot less than med schools do. Law schools basically just want to see good grades and LSAT scores. I wouldn't recommend majoring in Criminal Justice if you want to go to law school. The "Criminal Justice" or "Pre-Law" major at many schools are jokes. They are very easy. And so Crim Justice/Pre-Law majors have the LOWEST law school acceptance rates of any major, statistically speaking. The top undergrad colleges for someone who wants to be a lawyer would be the ones with the best poli sci, econ, or history programs. Like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, the University of Chicago, Stanford, or Georgetown. NOTE: I am not sure I agree with the poster below who said that Harvard Med and Harvard Law are the best. These are both excellent schools of course. But among doctors, Johns Hopkins is supposed to be the best medical school. And according to US News, Yale is #1 Law School (and has been #1 for about 10 yrs), while Harvard is #2 or #3. But of course, many people disagree with US News also. Also, for either med school or law school (at Harvard or elsewhere), you need a bachelor's degree first, but that's 4 years, not 6. You don't need 6 years of college to start med school or law school.
  4. well harvard medical and harvard law are suposed to be the best in those two categories, but for harvard law school you cant just goot to law school straight from highschools you need to do 6 years of regular college, then you can go to law school, but at havrd you need to have your masters degree, but you dont need to go to the best one, its what you make of it, there are other great colleges, its more of what your make of it
