168/ superior/ gay/ international applicant Forum

[hangqianli]

I'm an international student from China, so I think no strong preference for law school locations. Gay friendly schools are slightly preferred. I have no working experience.

Can anyone let me know where to apply? Do you guys think I should ed anywhere?

Thanks in advance

For a very general idea of your chances, take a look at the stats:

Your chances are far better at schools where the LSAT median is 168 or lower.

Almost all schools are gay-friendly except maybe some religious schools like Notre Dame, BYU, and Baylor.

nihao! California schools may be the most friendly to you. Stanford (big reach), Boalt (reach), USC, UCLA, Hastings, etc

Thanks for your suggestions.

For international applicants, the LSAT is especially important, so focus on schools where your score is at or above the median.

Also, you may think you have no preference for locations, but that is because you haven't spent a winter in the upper midwest. Michigan, Minnesota, Cornell, Chicago, Northwestern - those place would be very difficult for you. The problem is not how cold it gets, but how long the extreme cold lasts.

Foreign students usually don't understand how much worse it is than what you are used to (trust me, I've been there).
