CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm in the same boat you started off in (minus a language barrier) and your story is very inspiring. I will keep it in my back pocket as I slug away day after day in preparation for June :)
This is so awesome, many congratulations @"Not Ralph Nader" , your story is truly inspiring, I have been stuck at 166 and after reading your story i got the right dose of motivation. Hope you get into the law school of your choice, my best wishes to you :)
Taking your story at face value, and not knowing any specifics, it seems pretty likely you'll get it. But LSAC can be inconsistent and weird about this stuff, so best to act like you don't have it until you have the approval letter in your hands.
