Post by aibra1997 » Wed Apr 17, 2019 4:42 pm

Ill be attending suffolk in the fall, and my dream is to go to harvard. I know its almost impossible, but i wanna know what could make my chances as high as possible... or should i just focus on BU/BC to transfer and look into harvard for an LLM.

You should not matriculate to a school you wouldn't be happy graduating from. The only thing you can do to increase your transfer chances is ace 1L, and you can't guarantee you'll do that. So don't go to Suffolk, because it's clearly not where you want to go (and because it has godawful employment outcomes that could leave you crippled with debt and no realistic way of paying it off).

Agree with cav. Don't go to Suffolk. There is no remote guarantee you'll do well enough to transfer to BU/BC, let alone Harvard.

What are your goals out of law school, OP? From your initial post it sounds like your only goal is a Harvard degree. If a Harvard degree is what you're after, there are many cheaper/easier ways of doing so, e.g., a Master's program in your discipline of choice, which will likely take only 1 year and cost orders of magnitude less than a J.D.
