You need to be the best in your class and really impress them at the interview.

Political science, philosophy, history and English have been traditional "pre-law" majors, but these days law school admissions are much more competitive, so more and more students seeking law school admission are seeking to distinguish themselves by majoring (and excelling) in other disciplines.   \n\nArea studies are some great law-school preparation choices (South Asian studies, East Asian studies, Eastern-European studies, American studies, etc.), as are religious studies, anthropology, sociology, and interdisciplinary majors of various sorts. This is because many students see themselves in law firms with international scope, or in political or administrative positions after law school.  Becoming fluent in a language other than English, like Chinese, Russian, or Arabic is also a great way to distinguish oneself, and to prepare for the ability to function well in an increasingly multicultural business environment.\n\nLately, there's also been a surge in law school aspirants majoring in the sciences, like chemistry, engineering, and environmental sciences.  Folks who do this often have an eye toward eventually practicing patent law, environmental law, or corporate law with medical or scientific foci.\n\nThe best advice I can give you is this:\nFind a major you're passionate about.  That's the way to excel. If you do this, you'll gain critical thinking skills, polish your writing skills, and acquire expertise in an area of study.  THOSE are the qualifications all law schools look for.\n\nBest wishes!

If you are still a high school student, you need to take a rigorous high school program and then select an undergraduate major and institution that will prepare you for law school.\n\nI think that you may be several years away from making a decision on law schools so focus on your present education.\n\nBest wishes

A good first step would be learning to spell and punctuate and/or proofreading your questions before submitting them.  This is becuase being a lawyer entails tons of detail-oriented work.  Then, after your graduate from university (and if you are in the United States), take your LSAT exam.  Upon getting your LSAT scores, apply to law school (applications will require recommendations from professors, essays, transcripts from your undergraduate degree, etc.).  After 3 years of law school, you will have to take the bar exam in the state in which you wish to practice law.  Once you pass the bar, you are admitted to practice law in that state.  You will be a lawyer.

Yes, you can, but it's going to be a little harder.  You really have to overcompensate with a great LSAT score to get into a good school.  Go to http://www.lsat.org and they have a tool where you can input your GPA and LSAT score and see what schools have students with similar stats.  I go to a ranked law school with an excellent reputation in LA, and some of my friends have GPAs under 3.0.  But I'm sure they had a higher than average LSAT score.  Work really hard on the LSAT and build a good resume and personal statement.  If there is a reason why you had a lower GPA (very competitive program, had to work while in school, etc) you can work that into your personal statement so that they know that your GPA isn't representive of what kind of student you really are.

The Best Law School would be in Sydney, but Queensland has fantastic Universities as well where you daughter can continue her studies.\n\nQueensland particularly in Brisbane has  Public Hospitals  The Royal Brisbane, The Prince Alfred or known as the PA, Mater Hospital, but they also have smaller hospitals private, All these hospitals are quite large and have many areas, some are known for cardiac care and some are more for kids and mums, I am sure if you did a bit of research on these hospitals you may find what you are looking for. Please find below some links that may help you further.\n\nOur Health system is like you NHS but there are terms and conditions on how and who can obtain what we call a Medicare card.  There are several very good health care funds around as well.  Most Private practise doctors do charge a fee for their services and it is refundable by medicare but not all are available, if you need  operations or the such the list for waiting for them through the public system is really long on most things.\n\nIf you have good qualifications you should not have to many problems in finding work here but make sure you have all the relative visa and work credentials.

The first question is, what country do you want to go for your graduate? Your own or a foreign country? If you are "remarkably intelligent," you should be able to figure that out. Usually, people go for "rich, developed countries" like US and UK. After that, find universities that give out financial aid for international students and have your majors or whatever it is you want to study, then try to meet their standards for a foreign student (again, you are intelligent, right?). Aim high, usually private and/or pricier schools have scholarships. When they accept and look at your income, which is low, I guess, they often will give you some kind of financial aid, such as scholarships, loan, in-campus jobs...\n\nGood luck,\n\nA foreign student currently studies in the US

You will first need to go to the Embassy for the UK in your own country, and ask about universities and procedures.\n\nFirst you must take the TOEFL exam and the SAT, and then apply to a university.  *After* you are accepted to a university, the university will send you a Visa application.  \n\nUnless you are very confident in your ability to score near 100% on both the TOEFL English and SAT academic exams, or you have a lot of money that you can't spend; then it's not very much worth it.  The UK is very particular about accepting applicants and requires the highest standards.  If you have not scored in the highest percentile, you will spend your money on exams, applications for university, and student Visa for nothing.\n\nBe careful in what you decide!

requirements for entering universities differ for each country and each school. The best way to find out what you need to do to get into any particular college or university is to look that specific school up and then ask about requirements

Hi. I graduated from Arizona State University Law School in 5/05. I went to the University of Arizona in my undergrad with a high GPA of 3.8, and got a lower LSAT of 151. However, I was coming from a school instate and that I think helped me get into ASU. It is my understanding that it's getting harder to get into  many of the better (1st and 2nd tier) law schools, because there is just more applications.\nMy advice is to take a review course for the LSAT either from Princeton Review or Kaplan so you get a high score. Also, don't discount your letters of recommendation and personal statement. The schools do look at those!! They will also look at what work experience you've had, so fix up your resume or get some help with it from a professional. \nCheck out the law schools you're applying to and meet with admissions. Then at least they know your name. Also, don't put all your eggs in one basket and you have to expect that you might not get into everyone that you want. Finally, I believe networking is EVERYTHING. Talk to any lawyers or VIPS you know and ask them for help and to put a good word in. That stuff will come into play, whether or not the law school will admit it. \nIt's ALOT of hard work but worth it. Good luck!

as long as you have a diploma from a highschool in your home country, you can legally attend an american university.  the school's main concern will be your grades of course, but also any problems you might encounter in getting a student visa.  please make sure you are eligible to enter the united states for study before applying.  your school should help you with getting the appropriate paperwork.\ngood luck~~

The "best" college for you is the one that best suits your specific, individual needs and preferences.  How do you know which college is the best?\n\nKeep in mind that the "best college" or "best university" for you is one that will maximize your learning potential and knowledge. When deciding which institutions you should apply to, create your own student-centered ranking system. In your personal college ranking system, account for your educational goals and career objectives; the college’s entrance requirements, degree and course offerings, and reputation in the field in which you will earn a degree; transferability of credit; your learning style and preferences; the college’s teacher-student ratios; the campus location, environment and housing options; the availability of student support services on campus (medical services, tutoring, wellness programs); and, finally, the cost (after financial aid is applied). \n\nIn the end, what's going to matter is whether (a) you actually have or will have a degree at the point of admissions to law school and (b) how you rated in the admissions pool.   The issue of  WHERE you earned your undergraduate degree will only be important  IF you intent to pursue a law degree from the same school where you earned your undergraduate degree.\n\nBest of luck!

The best advice I can give you is - try to find yourself a sponsor for your studies - either in Crotia or in the US. You can try to tie up with a company in Crotia and convince them that if they sponsor your education, you'll come back to Crotia after studies and work with them - with your newfound skills they'll benefit - if they fall for this, your future is secure.\n\nAlternately, go online on Google and try to find out as many International Student scholarships as possible. Apply for ALL of them - most importantly, prepare a statement that details your future plans, ur determination and highlights your positive points. You will need to submit this for receiving financial aid. \n\nYou could also take a student loan in the US if you know any US citizen in good standing who is ready to co-sign the  loan for you. \n\nYou can also apply to the Financial aid office of the university you apply to for admission. Get in touch with professors, offer to work for them (in their labs/assist with their research) in exchange of financial aid. \n\nHope this helps :)

I am in an Australia University here, I do not have specific friends fom the US, but I see them around and chat casually. It's not too stressful with paperwork. Just start with reading the websites of the particular university you want to come to study. Then, apply, get admission, pay the tuition, receive COE, then go get the visa...We will welcome u with Oz berbie.. and kangaroo delicacy!!

US news compiles rankings of each law school total, as well as specialties.  You would probably have to either pay online for that info, or you can go to a bookstore and thumb through their guide to law schools, they release it every year, and it will have all of that great stuff in it.\n\nReally, if you go to any law school you should be able to take classes on con law, other than just the required classes you have to take.  Stanford, from what I hear, also is pretty good.  If you are looking at con law, is it for civil rights?  You can go to a lot of good schools that aren't top 10 and work in the public sector.  However, if you have loftier goals like working as a judge, etc, you want to go to one of the top 10 ranked schools.  Keep in mind that you can always contact the admissions office for information about classes they offer.\n\nI assume you are putting in your applications this fall to start in fall of 2007??  Because if you are applying for this fall, all the spots are likely filled.  But if you get your apps in in October in the early admissions period, you have a better chance for getting into the school you want.  \n\nKeep in mind that you may change your mind about what kind of law you want to get into once you are in law school.  You can't even choose your classes the first year, you are taking all required classes.  So look into overall qualities of schools, not just the con law program for your decision.  Good luck with your applications!!

Washington University has a highly ranked law school -- top 20 every year in the U.S. News & World Report survey of Law Schools.  This is the highest in the midwest outside of the University of Chicago.  \n\nBut, it's a full university with degrees ranging from B.A. to Ph.D.  It's considered a world class university with top programs in many areas.
