International student looking to get a JD

Post by Jurssiczz » Sun Jun 21, 2015 6:30 pm

Hey everyone, this is my 1st post here on TLS so I am extremely excited :lol:

I am an International student currently attending a non-target US college. I am double-majoring in Mathematics and Economics and have a 3.9 GPA. My question is, how much harder is it for non-us citizens/residents to get accepted into a T5 law school? Do I need to get an LSAT score that is WAY higher than the median?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

Does anyone else have different experiences when it comes to the topic? It is very hard to get a feel for the type of international students that get into the top 5 law schools because TLS stats has a very small sample size.

You don't have a 173, if you are still asking these questions.
The answer is no. You go to an american college, so you will be assessed basically in the same way as American students in the admission process.

I do. I'm just worried because my score is right on the median and i don't know if it is enough.
