<p>OP came here to know whether s/he could “lie” for her visa, confusing her dreams and her plans. The answer is that they’ll question her plans to see if she plans on being a student. She does. Therefore, whatever she hopes/dreams of next isn’t part of the interview. The embassy representative does not care about an applicant’s hopes and dreams post college, just whether the applicant really intends on enrolling in college or is trying to cheat the system and pretend-enroll in order to work illegally or engage in nefarious activities. That’s it. The applicant has to be convincing, speak about his/her <em>college</em> plans, what s/he plans to major in, why that college and why in the US, and if asked about work should speak about work-study and only if they were awarded one that is present on the college acceptance letter with financial aid offer form, that the officer will have read before the interview. </p>
<p>Right now, OP is in 10th or 11th grade. Law school, in the US or elsewhere, is a long way off. S/he’ll tackle that once s/he is in college.
Although happymomof1 knows what she’s talking about so…
And, beside the point, but: why would one want to go to law school in the US when right now about 80% law school graduates can’t find work in their field? If one wants to study law and work in law, one should study French and go to Canada where they badly need lawyers (who must speak both French and English, although a 3d language is appreciated). And yes it’s possible to work for a top firm in Canada if you got a Law degree from Canada after getting your BA in the US.</p>
