[shwetha]

Hi!
I am shwetha i ve done my undergrad from india in Medicine.
i have screwed my chances of getting into residency here. And i am not that passionate about my career in medicine.
i want to switch my career into law. what r my chances if i want to go to law school in USA and what r the
pre reqs.
Thank u

The pre-reqs are a GPA (converted international GPA acceptable) and an LSAT score. Incidentally, these will also predict your chances.

My understanding is u mean to say that my undergrad degree with LSAT scores and apping will suffice to get in to law school in USA?

Yup. Which is why we have far more legal graduates than legal jobs, and why most people on these forums will tell you that law school is a bad idea.

@camelcrema i much appreciate u r advise.
so u think that i should continue bein doctor and getting into law school is lot tougher than getting into residency?

finding a job after law school and paying off your debt is the hard part.
