If yes, has anyone obtained any reply from them ? thanks a lot. Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24089 I also applied to UCLA: I do not have any news from their part. I am still waiting an answer. Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24090 Me neither...My status is finally complete. But no news... Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24091 I have also applied at the end of October/beginning of November....status is complete but no further news either... Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24094 Did you apply to other LL.M programs or not ? Fri, 02 Feb 2007 21:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24095 I've also applied for UCLA. And by the time I submitted my online application (December), I received an e-mail confirming it and informing that I could visit the website to check the status of my supporting documents (fortunately the status is complete). So I guess they would not send another personal e-mail when the documents arrive there. They said I would only "be notified of the Graduate Studies Committee's decision by email and postal mail in March or April." Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24655 I have applied too... still waiting and no news. I hope to hear something soon, because I got accepted at an other university, and they expect my answer soon. Problem is: ucla is my very first choice! Sun, 18 Feb 2007 15:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24665 I've been informed last monday that only 5% of the applications have indeed been processed to date. Hope this helps (along with some prozac). Sun, 18 Feb 2007 16:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24667 ive also applied Mon, 19 Feb 2007 09:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#24682 Andrew: I liked the "along with some prozac" hahaha..!! Only 5% ...I guess we'll be waiting for long weeks... Its so hard to handle. Has anyone applied for the Media and Entertainement law program? Good luck to all of you!!

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26562 Neha congrats. I'm a from Delhi too, and I have received an admission offer to UCLA as well. So maybe we will meet soon, who knows! If you dont mind, could you elaborate a bit about your scholarship? was it offered in the email itself or did u come to know only through the official package mailed to you. or did u write to them after you got admission? i'm asking cos my email appears to be a rather standard one and doesn't mention any grant at all :-(. I have not received the snail-mail yet. So i am wondering whether to write to them with a virtual begging bowl yet... Tue, 13 Mar 2007 10:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26570 hi, well i recieved scholarship grant via email a few days after i got d admission email... of course it will b gr8 to meet fellow delhites in UCLA...have u recieved admission from other uniz??? i think u cud write to them abt it n ask abt fin aid...i have not recieved d package yet... do u have any idea abt work possibilities in California? Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26592 Hey guys! I was offered a scholarship as well, but I don't intend to take it, as my husband was not accepted at California, so they might offer it to someone else. Good luck! Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26597 neha. thanx for the info. seems there's no point waiting for the postman..i'll just write to them about aid... hopefully they'll give me ptrio's..lol..;-) Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26598 also as regards jobs, there's probably less opportunities than NY, but less ppl looking as well... mind u, I am just speaking from hearsay and the choices my friends/ acquaintances have made. i have a couple of friends who have managed good jobs in CA, so there's hope for sure. there's also sun and sand. and that is important. Tue, 13 Mar 2007 18:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26636 hi SM, ya sure sun sand n gud location r damn imp...wat helps more is tht UCLA is well recognised in India...CA has loads of asians n u can appear for d bar exam of CA too... r u sure to join UCLA? hope u get ptrios scholarship ;) Thu, 15 Mar 2007 10:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26816 Hi neha, i wrote to them about aid. They wrote back pretty quick and said they'll consider my application. about coming to UCLA, its quite high in my list of priorities. got cornell and georgetown as well; but i'd prefer UCLA . california is the big pull - not only is it a stunning place with beautiful climate; its quite multi-racial in demographics and also allows foreigners to sit for the bar. so hope i get some aid! Thu, 15 Mar 2007 10:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26817 hi SM, i am quite keen on UCLA too sp cz of the first everjob fair for west coast law colleges in CA dis yr...but i wonder how do we inform ourselves abt d real n actual job prospects there...sp whether it is worth d investment (even after scholarship we wud have to spend quite a bit!!!) Thu, 15 Mar 2007 22:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26883 i'm in. the waves in southern california are overrated, but i guess they will do for a year Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#26884 ;) enjoy! Greetz, Ost Tue, 20 Mar 2007 12:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#27225 Hey people, I have been accepted to UCLA as well. Congrats t u all. Did u hear anything about the scolarships shit back? I am now struggling to decide between going to UCLA (with no grants, at least for now) or go to work to Dubai. Besides that, anyone can help me know what the "real" (not school statistics based) possibilities of getting a good paid job (say 80k to 90k) after graduation are? Sun, 01 Apr 2007 07:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#28752 Hey! I applied somewhere around jan and got an offer on 1st march....

Like for corporate law the situation is a little tight.But since UCLA is hosting a job fair from this year, there is nothing to worry.Most of them get placed. Sun, 01 Apr 2007 20:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#28783 hey, I have been offered a place in UCLA for 07/08, but was also offered Cornell and U. of Virginia, really think its a choice between Cornell and UCLA, was looking for others views? Dream job is sports law, so UCLA is strong, but I've already sat the NY Bar, and fingers crossed have passed, Mon, 02 Apr 2007 01:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/24088/last#28831 Hey guys, I have been accepted to UCLA too!!

Waiting for columbia...but even if get through, i may still choose upenn for the size of the class (85) than columbia (200/250). secondly upenn has a much better campus and the courses at wharton seem too good to let go of. Well if its NYU vs. Upenn - i am going to upenn. If its Upenn vs. columbia - i will be thoroughly confused!!!!! Cheers!
