Admission with a forgien degree

Post by Decide » Sun Aug 11, 2019 9:48 am

Since getting a Bachelor's degree in the United States is very expensive, I've been using Bachelor's Portal to find a degree overseas, and I think I found one I like: International Economics and Management, a B.Sc from UPEC in Paris.
Then I like to get a Masters degree, but that will also be from overseas, then go to law school in America.
Will two foreign degrees be accepted in the United States?

They'll be accepted, but your GPA will be converted to a "rating" that LSAC uses to determine your grades. Ultimately, it means that the LSAT is going to be an even bigger piece of the admissions puzzle for you.

The better question is why you're convinced you'll still want to come back to the US for a law degree after spending at least six years abroad working in other fields of study.

UPDATE......

It's a 1 year B.Sc program, that wouldn't matter would it?
