I am not as knowledgable about the law school admission process as some of you are. Welcome to leave any message re. admissions.

Are you a Chinese-Korean by any chance? Man your stuff is pretty impressive hahaha you will definitely crack T-10 and maybe even HYC. I don't know how this international student thing plays out that much...Some say we've got advantage because the schools don't have to report our LSAT, while others say that the schools actually discrimnate on you. I guess by the end of this cycle we'll know how it is.

I am a Korean-Korean, but have worked in HK, Singapore and China in various capacities. I think there's little advantage being an international applicant. After all, pretty much the same admission standards get applied across the board. But if it helps, well...i won't be complaining.

How exciting! Your first acceptance must feel pretty good. If we end up at the same school/city we should start a law school Chinese practice circle. I worry about losing language skills.
