Based on my own limited research, I've noticed that the Singaporeans who went to Havard law JD took law as an undergraduate degree already. I' And if you do do you guys feel that I'd have even a puncher's chance of getting in. (Assuming that my lsat meets the requirement)

I'd also like to inquire about the oxbridge ba jurisprudence (senior status). SILE has one of its requirement that to register for the bar, the degree must not be "accelerated". The ba jurisprudence is 2 years as compared to the normal 3 years. Would it be considered as an accelerated degree?
I dont think that you should be that sure that you will sure get into NUS GLB or SMU JD. End of the day, application for school still has some uncertainty factors.

Even if there is precedent before, it does not means that you will get into it even with higher grades.

I am not discouraging you. Rather i am letting you know about life. A lot local student always have this type of "atas" or " damn great" feeling. And if you are really that great from the start, you will have been able to choose llb before rather than making a second shot on it.

Cheers.
