Hi friends
I am going to focus on International Corporate Law, but I don't have really legal experience. How can it effect on my admission as a foreign applicant?

Hi,
it all depends on the college your going to apply to. experience gives you an upper hand but, not all colleges are interested in work experience that much. some just want to look at your grades, where your from, diversity etc depending on the colleges interest.

i would advise you to first identify the college you want. then ask from the discussion board about there admission requirements or look at that college's website. i promise you, that will be very rewarding than being so general.

Thanks Ireb
Thanks for the advice. I am from Afghanistan. I am awarded a fulbright scholarship, IIE ( Interntioanal Institute of Education) has the task of my placement, I didn't apply to a law school, they do. The only thing I am afraid is my legal experience.

Hi Shayan, I'm surprised you're worried about your work experience. Doesn't Fulbright require that you have at least 2 years work experience in order to be considered for the scholarship? This is the requirement for the Fulbright scholarship in my country.
