Grad School

<p>Hi!
I know it's harder for international students to get accepted into regular colleges, especially if they need financial aid from private colleges.</p>

<p>Is it same for Law school or B-school also? I still don't have my Green Card yet (even though I've been living in the US for 10 years!!!), and was wondering if that's going to affect my chances at all. I had some bad memories from my undergrad application process. I noticed that Law Schools have a higher percentage of international students, but I don't exactly know what to make of that.</p>

<p>any thoughts?</p>

<p>Since the careers with law and advanced business degrees are so lucrative, law and business schools expect you to fund most of your education through loans. There is only very little financial aid available outside of loans for American students, and even less for internationals. So the actual question is: can you get loans? The answer will probably depend on whether or not you have a creditworthy American co-signer.</p>

<p>right, funding is the biggest issue for law school/b-school. btw, international enrollment at law schools may be obscured by the fact that many foreign law school grads can get a degree called LLM (master's of law) so that they can practice law in the US. This is different from the JD that US college grads get. i'm guessing that there are very few internationals in JD programs but that LLM programs are almost exclusively foreign.</p>
