if youre from the top 3 schools- you might still have a chance- but the lower your rank the better everything else in your application should be. LORs, work ex, CV etc.
My GPA was 6 point something out of 8 and I ranked somewhere in the middle of my graduating class at a T1 NLU. I applied anyway and graduated from a Top 3 US law school. With enough work experience and a solid application, ranks don't matter much.
Till what ranks do the Oxbridge and Top US law schools accept applications for LLM or BCL? Heard Oxford does accept applications beyond top 10 of batch
They become less important with work experience. But you need to appear as a high achiever.
