180/International Forum

[LifeGoals]

180 LSAT, only take on record.
International: No GPA, well-regarded foreign ugrad, LSAC "Above Average", roughly middle of class (but school doesn't rank or anything).
US Citizen, Native English Speaker. (I hear this is significant since non-citizens can't get paid for clerkships.) Not URM.
3-4 years out, mildly interesting work experience, ok softs. Good exposure to legal field, could easily justify wanting to be a lawyer practicing in the US.

Interested in whether my ugrad record rules out Y/S, what kind of chances I have at Harvard, and where else I could plausibly get in throughout the T14, as well as what I might be expecting in terms of scholarship money.

Really struggling to find any data, even anecdotal, on similarly-situated internationals.

See the spreadsheet here http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=233438 for some data points from the 2014-15 cycle. Post contains links to the international threads from the past few years. You should have plenty of good options with a 180/above average. Good luck.

God, that would be pretty amazing.
