Hi guys, I'm an international student from a foreign undergrad that took the Dec Lsat.
Basic information about myself
LSAT: 174 (First try)
GPA: It's 3.9 on a 4.0 scale, but I think foreign undergrads are classified as Superior (with this level of GPA)
Softs: Some moot court competition wins, about a year of intern experience at a domestic law firm
LOR: 2 from professors, 1 from the lawyer I worked under (All strong)
I have two main questions!
I understand that Yale and Stanford don't admit too many foreign undergrads and that out of HYS, I have the best chances with Harvard. I think the earliest I'll get my applications in is by mid-January. Would that be too late in the cycle? I might be able to intern at another law firm starting from late January. Should I maybe just wait for the next cycle?
If I applied and was accepted to Columbia but rejected by Harvard, could I defer the Columbia offer and apply to Harvard the next cycle? This is pretty common in my country, but I get the feeling it wouldn't be acceptable in the States.
Some people might wonder why I seem obsessed with Harvard, but it's because I plan to return to my country later on. All the domestic lawyers I've met tell me that name-value is everything if I want to enter a big firm here D:
Thanks!
I fell like the answer choice (b) should phrased "Green and brown cottons that can be spun only by hand WERE not commercially viable" ... It is certainly true that it wasn't commercially feasible , but maybe in nowdays where the socioeconomic envrionment has changed, it is indeed feasible..
