<p>I've heard it was really problematic for international students to get accepted for a JD. Considering I would get a Bachelor's degree and would want to immigrate to the US and practice law there, how easy would it be for me to get accepted into a law school for a JD (not an LLM!).
Thank you</p>
<p>They don’t care. They just want your LSDAS GPA, LSAT score, and $265,000+.</p>
<p>sorry, mind elaborating on “LSDAS”?
and $265k+ for all 3 years of tuition right?</p>

<p>With respect to “they don’t care” : I exaggerate, but you get my point.</p>
<p>Please note that you would need a law firm to sponsor you for an H1B visa upon graduation. This used to be fairly easy a decade ago, but with plenty of qualified US grads fewer firms are willing to go through the process. H1B visas have also been harder to get and the conversion to permanent residency is far from guaranteed. Finally, certain positions such as Federal clerkships are not open to non-residents. I would talk to some firms in your target area of practice before committing to such a risky proposition.</p>
