I am kind of interested. What is your backgound? Law school is pretty much expensive. Addtionally, it is high demaning at English proficiency compared to other professions. What do you think?

Hi, David,
Why don't you just go step by step and see where you are led? Otherwise it's going to remain a dream for you.I don't think money would be an issue here. Take LSAT and apply for law schools. You could get a loan after you are admitted.
Improve your English if you need to. You have to get things done.

Excellent! Just focus yourself on next step. Solve one problem at a time. Keep pushing yourself. It's going to be hard but not impossible. You still have plenty of time at age 30.

A liitle advice if you don't mind. Watch out your gammar whatever you write and make it a habit. You have to have fine writings as a lawyer. Keep the standard up.

Forget about finacial problem for now.Too much thinking of the difficulties will amplify them and discorage you. Focus on the bright side. You will find a way of financing your law school after you are admitted. Everybody, including Canadian students, has the same problem. You are at the same starting line with everybody else money concerned. Check our MITBBS and find what other Chinese students think. At least you don't have immigartion problem in Canada comparing with them. Don't let your chance go.

Thanks a lot for your invitation. I appreciate it.My live messange is smile_814@hotmail.com. You can also add me. I have found one lady who has studied law clerk in college. I think she already graduated. I am still waiting for her reply for more information. I notice that a lot of law learner majored in English when they were undergraduates. English is a huge issue for everyone who want to persuit a career in this field. I believe the people who have already taken the law courses will clarify our concerns. I will share it with you whenevern I got it.

Obviously it's a good start.However, I don't think your past GPA would be a great deal. The key is still LSAT. If you get a 170+ on LSAT, you will have a good chance for Osgood Hall and you will be almost garanteed a seat in a North Amercan law school. That's what I love about law school admission: you can forget about your past. It's really a one-exam thing, which most Chinese love most.
So how was your second try-out on LSAT?

right. anyway, i hope GPA would weight more ( that would give me less pressure when i took LSAT test); actually, i will try my best to prepare for it' now every day i spend 1 hours at least to prepare for it ( weekends, usually 6 - 8 hours /day

Hi, Man. It's not really my business but seems to me that you don't have a clear vision of your situation. I can't help to speak up a bit more.Your hope (and mine) for law school is purely on a competitive LSAT score. Fortunately enough most law schools will make their decisions based on LSAT. Your GPA won't give you too much leverage if you don't have a stunning LSAT score. We are talking about law school admission and you are competing with the very top students. How many people will have low GPA anyways. How's your second trial of LSAT?
