<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am a student who is going to one of the claremont colleges
(Liberal arts college in California)</p>
<p>I have a question about admission process of law school.</p>
<p>I am korean citizen and not a resident or citizen of the states. </p>
<p>100% international student who came to united states 2 years ago to attend college in the states.</p>
<p>I have a good GPA and hope that I will hit LSAT hard and get good scores. </p>
<p>But one thing bothers me much lateley.</p>
<p>Is a fact that I am not citizen or resident and international student going to</p>
<p>hurt or help me get into t14 law school?</p>
<p>I know that t14 law school accepts few asian-american and very very few</p>
<p>international students.</p>
<p>It probably won't hurt you if you have the numbers...but why do you want a US law degree? You will not be able to work in the states unless a company decides to sponsor you (which is not easy!) or get married (probably far easier--but relative). </p>
<p>Something else to consider is that you won't qualify for loans, except for those given by the law school itself--not sure how that works. So, unless your parents are super wealthy, how do you plan to pay for it? Merit aid is pretty much out of the question.</p>
<p>But, again, I am confused why you want a US JD and not an MBA (whish is a more global qualification)?</p>
<p>And...sorry...but why did you type a sentence per line? I felt like I was reading the ten commandments...</p>
<p>Reason for seeking US JD is that I do want to live and work in USA. It is not that I don't like to live in Korea and work there and I pretty much prefer living in big cities in USA such as NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA and etc. It would be nice if there is any financial aid but money is not priority concern I guess provided that I can get into top law school. Btw, thank you very much for your reply.</p>
<p>No offense but from the grammar and syntax of your post, I seriously doubt you have enough proficiency with English in order to score highly enough on the LSAT to get into a top 14 law school.</p>
<p>You should take a diagnostic, see how well you do, and have realistic expectations.</p>
