Distance learning with an llb or a bachelors degree in usa?
Hi. I just got done with my AS levels (I live in Pakistan, where we study under the British system) and my family is planning to move to the States - California, for more accuracy. I am interested in pursuing a career in law, and want to get done within the shortest span of time possible. Going to a US college will mean using up 4 years on a bachelor's degree and THEN starting with J.D. Continuing under the British system with distance learning means I get my degree quicker, but no guarantee of proper employment.
Right now, I have 11 GCSE o levels, all A's, and an internship at a law office under my belt. I gave economics and maths AS levels, and am waiting for the result now. If I do have to pursue an undergraduate degree, what field would be suitable? Could my alevels possibly count as AP classes and hopefully knock an year off the bachelor degree? Do I get scholarships as an undergraduate permanent resident? Would love some advice, thanks =)
Unfortunately you will have to do the JD if you want to practice law in the US. Reason for this statement is about 50% of the states do not recognize foreign experience and they do not recognize the LLB. Those states that do recognize the LLB typically will require you to study an Additional 1 - 2 years at a law school in the US. Best advice in this situation is to contact the state bar association in the state you want to practice in order to find out their rules regarding admission of the LLB qualification.
Regarding your question concerning A-Levels you will have to ask the university because each university in the US is different and has different rules regarding admission of foreign students. Plus you will most likely have to take the ACT or SAT and most likely TOEFL. Again, the universities that you are most interested in will be in more of a position to guide you on that matter.
Finally your question regarding scholarship because you are a permanent resident and the answer is no. Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, financial need, or if you meet specific requirements. Being a permanent resident does not automatically qualify you for a scholarship and you will need to do some research to see which ones, if any, you qualify.
