Wow, that's awesome for this young lady! With guidance, she persisted in reaching her goal...

Something is fishy. Article says she will attend Harvard law...from high school? I didn't know Harvard Law accepted HS applicants.

Unless...this is another one of those Harvard Extension students passing off as a student in another Harvard school. Nothing wrong with that, but many people born in prison attend college, so why are articles only written when its about Harvard?

it doesn't actually say Harvard Law, just that she'll be studying law. They probably mean that she's working on something like a pre-law path at Harvard.

(though she is posing in front of HLS, so who knows)

How about a new thread: "Graduated From Harvard, Now Heading To Prison." I'm sure there are at least a couple of stories out there.
