I want to apply for law school in America. What should I pay attention to?
It's best to look at the rankings of American universities on USNews first. The ranking of this school is based on input and output projects. "Input" refers to the LSAT scores and admission rate of J.D. students in this school, so schools with fewer students and higher thresholds will rank higher. For example, Yale Law School has always won Harvard Law School because Yale does not accept many students. "Output" refers to how much money graduates can earn. But these two items have nothing to do with international students, because they are all calculated by J.D. students (mainly American students).

At the same time, the strength of each law school is different, some are strong in intellectual property, some are strong in company law and some are strong in international law. Each applicant can choose a school according to his own interests.

Each law school also has its own enrollment style and characteristics, and applicants should also foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. For example, Yale Law School, as the best law school in the world, enrolls a small number of students every year, generally enrolls teachers and doctoral students from other countries, and once admitted associate professors. For another example, Harvard Law School pays more attention to the reputation of the applicant's school, personal work experience and research ability, and has an advantage in applying for a master's degree. It also admitted a Ph.D. graduate from the sociology department of Yale University. For another example, Stanford Law School generally requires more than two years of work experience. Therefore, before applying, the applicant should look for specific information on the law school website and keep in touch with the relevant admissions staff.
