<p>Hi Everyone</p>
<p>I am from the UK and I am hoping to come to the States to do my JD .</p>
<p>It is a big step ! I am taking the LSAT ON Saturday , and I am very worried !!!</p>
<p>I know that the LSAT is an important part of getting in to law school but I was wondering if there is any thing else I can do to help my chances of getting accepted and what are my options if I don't do well in the LSAT </p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>If you’re from the UK, why do you want a JD? Its vastly more expensive than getting an English law degree and the English firms only hire US JDs for very specific roles.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply , English law holds not interest for me. American law does and I don’t want to work in the UK</p>
<p>And FYI it is just as expensive in the UK</p>
<p>Thought the whole British system worked differently, but keep in mind that for most US ABA accredited law schools, a bachelor’s degree is required(for some reason I thought in the UK no bachelor’s required for law school). In addition, may want to check how your major/classes/grades will be recorded for your applications-check out lsac.org.</p>
<p>English and American law are pretty similar. Why would one hold interest for you more than the other? And no, in England law is an undergraduate degree. Here law is a post-graduate degree. The systems are very different and it is much cheaper over there. There’s a reason you don’t hear stories of English solicitors a quarter-million in debt. If you wanted to practice in the US you might be best served getting an English LLB and then coming here for an LLM. Have you already done an undergraduate degree?</p>
<p>It costs $300,000/£191,000 to study law in Britain? JFC.</p>
