1

<p>an international undergrad in US, which t14 is a shoo in?</p>

2

<p>cornell maybe. you sure you dont have ANY EC’s? what were you doing throughout your 4 years of college? partying?</p>

3

<p>3 ECs, but no leadership positions</p>

4

<p>does work count as EC?</p>

5

<p>bump…</p>

6

<p>According to the LSAC’s on-line tool, you have about a 75% chance at Duke and Georgetown, about a 60% chance at UVA and Northwestern, about 45% at NYU, about 40% chance at Michgan, about 35% at Penn, and less than 25% at Harvard. The remainder of the top 14 don’t participate.</p>

<p>you’ll get into more than just cornell. strong chance at Gtown and Duke. you’ll probably get into a couple others t14s too.</p>

8

<p>One of the things that Op will have to consider is funding.</p>

<p>S/he will not be eligible for stafford loans and withthe present economy, it will be more difficult as banks and schools are cutting back on loans for international students.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Unless money is not an issue, or you have a co-signer, I think that you should cast a wide net including some schools where you will be eligible for a considerable amount of merit $ (perhaps even merit $ + stipend)</p>

9

<p>if I can find a co-signer, am I a shoo in in one of the t-14s?</p>

<p>also, what kind of people are willing to be co-signers? do co-signers take a huge risk when they become co-signers?</p>

<p>also my school is one of the most well known for the lack of grade inflation, does that help?</p>

10

<p>also does it help that Im a hard science major (physics)?</p>

11

<p>also am i going to lose to my friends who have higher gpas but easier majors?</p>

12

<p>Co-signers are secondarily liable if you cannot or will not pay the loan. Serving as a co-signer can also have a serious impact on the co-signer’s ability to borrow money on his or her own behalf.</p>

<p>One of the good things about having a degree in physics is that you may be able to sit for the patent bar, if you’re interested in that field. Job prospects for patent lawyers are less dependent on which law school they attend than they are for other law graduates.</p>

<p>Having a high GPA in a tough major is a very good thing. You have a solid shot any several top law schools; no one here can really tell you much more about your chances than that.</p>

13

<p>Uh your GPA is pretty high and you have a good LSAT. While I can’t tell you that you’re a “shoo in” at any school, I am certain that you will get into a few T14s. Georgetown is probably your safest bet, since they really love 170s, but you should get into a few higher ranked schools, as well. </p>
