I am in the same boat.... I would def go to the USA for school, but it is way too expensive. Plus, we cannot get loans because we are not American citizens or permanent residents (You need an American citizen/ Permanent to guarantor the loan). Canadian banks will also not usually give money for a foreign school (unless you have a rich guarantor). The difference in tuition is upwards of 50k a year. Tuition at Canadian schools is from around 10k to 35k a year (most are under 20k). Given the exchange rate, Law school would cost more that 300k Canadian at the minimum.The only way to really make it to a US school is to: 1. Be rich/ have a rich family. 2. Get accepted to a T20 Law School that has need blind admission/ they massively reduce the tuition for stellar attributes. Unless you are some extraordinary person who overcame something extreme, won a Nobel Prize, or scored a 180 on the LSAT (mixed in with even more amazing things), it is hard to get a big enough scholarship that would make going to a US school doable for a Canadian. But! It is hard to really say if an under 165 would prevent you from going to U of T, UBC, Dal, UVIC. If you have a high average, or a reason why you did not score high (illness), you may very well still get in to a good school.
