My aim is to eventually study law with a Commerce degree. Which would you say is more difficult to obtain, a 170+ LSAT score, so that i can do JD at Melb Uni or obtaining a 75% average in Commerce at Monash, so i can transfer into BCom/LLB

An LSAT of 170 is completely unnecessary for Melbourne - 150+ is often enough apparently, and 170 corresponds to roughly the 99th percentile. 75% is definitely a lot easier.

For the JD at melb uni you need a 75+ GPA minimum anyway. Monash is probably best if you can transfer.

Not sure where you got this requirement, Melbourne doesn't have a GPA minimum. They are looking for well rounded candidates with equal weightings from their GPA, LSAT Score and Personal Statement.

Yes there's no official minimum but it's generally accepted you need a high GPA to be competitive. I doubt they're going to give a JD offer to someone with a 60 GPA.
