Could a 4.0 GPA from Howard University get one into Harvard Law?

Could one with a 4.0 GPA from Howard University


With extra Curriculars..


Mock Trial


Debate Team


Cross Country


Track


And possibly a Sorority





With 3 majors .. Psychology, Sociology, and World History and a minor in French...





A perfect score on the LSAT (Law School Admission Test)..





Get accepted into Harvard Law School?





And please don't give me "What are the chances of that happening?" answers. Just answer the question, please.





Thanks!

I'm not going to give you 'What are the chances of that happening' If you're asking the question, you're obviously serious about it, so you can definitely do it.





That is a good GPA, good extracurriclars, LSAT. I would say you have a good chance of getting in there. Just make sure your essay is really good and make them know why you would better their school.
Reply:Absolutely. Howard is a strong school. Frankly, if you had all of that at Podunk State U. you would have a good chance of getting into Harvard. There is never a guarantee, but you would have a good chance.
Reply:Howard is the best of the HBCUs. Harvard is committed to having a diverse student body. I think someone with a 4.0 from Howard and a perfect LSAT score has a great shot at Harvard and would get into a lot of top tier law schools.





I know Howard undergrads who did well (but no perfect exam scores and no 4.0) who got into other Harvard graduate programs.
