I am currently sophomore in college considering applying to law school once I graduate. I would like to go to the University of Michigan's law school since I am originally from Michigan. I was accepted there as an undergraduate, however I turned down the offer to study as a full time student at a university abroad (Japan in particular). Likewise, there are a number of things that I am worried about. For one, my degree will be from Japan. Secondly, I am going to an art school and will graduate with a BFA. I have 3.8 GPA at the moment and although my school is the top art school in the country, but I doubt that the people reviewing my application would know enough about education in Japan to be able to take that into consideration. I am wondering if these things will negatively affect my application.
I am good at learning languages and am fluent in Chinese, French, Korean, Japanese, and English, and I would ultimately like to go into international law so I guess there is some correlation there with me studying abroad, but I'm still worried.
If I get a high enough score on my LSAT's, do you think I would still have a chance? I scored a 170 on my practice test, but intend to study more and bring my score up before I actually take the test and apply.
Any opinions or advice?
