Are three year international undergraduate degrees accepted?

[rohan_b]

Hi! I am a third year (final year) undergrad student in India, and am looking to apply for admissions for Fall 2021/22. I was wondering whether the law schools in the U.S and Canada accept three year international degrees? I am at a NAAC 'A' graded school (rated in the highest tier in India) with a triple major and 120 credits scheduled to be completed by the time I graduate next year. Would I be eligible for admissions to law schools, more specifically the T14 schools?

Thank you! And also to add that I am a proud owner of the bible trilogy and they are awesome! The LSAT explanations over here as well have been extremely helpful for my LSAT studies.

Hi Rohan!

Glad to hear you're finding the PowerScore Bibles helpful!

I'll admit, I'm not an expert on undergraduate degrees in India. But as long as LSAC considers your degree equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor's degree, the amount of time it spent you to obtain that degree is irrelevant (some people in the U.S. finish Bachelor's degrees in 3 years!).

Here's what Harvard has to say about it (along with their other FAQs for international applicants!):

Here's what LSAC has to say about International Transcripts. They're the ones that evaluate and authenticate international transcripts so as long as they determine that your degree is equivalent, any law school you apply to should accept it:

And here's our guide for international students, which I also recommend you check out:

Hope this helps!
