http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37840 en Which school should I apply? - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Sat, 22 Dec 2007 05:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37840/last#37840 I'm a student of China, in a university which is ranking 3th in China. And below is my situation: avarage score:80 has internship in a court of China has a part-time job as a assistant legal adviser for 1 year has a intetnship in a company responsible translation now i'm having a internship in the Supreme Court of China Moreover, I have 4 recomendation letter: one from the dean of my law school; one from a proffesor of Brigham Young; one from my boss of a company; one from my boss of the Supreme Court. I have 2 publications. However, I only get 84 in my TOEFL iBT! I know this is too low for applying a law school, but I think there is not enough time for me to re-take it. Which law school should I apply? I'm going to apply for these universities: Cornell; Indiana; Illinois; American; Loyola; Miami; Hawaii; Minnesota Do I have the chance to be accepted by these universities? Nevertheless, I will re-take the IBT in Jan,2008, but it is too late for applying I think, because it will cost about 1month for sending the new report to universities. I hope someone can give me some advice! Thanks very much! And Merry Christmas!

You are on the right track and has a wider choice of law schools; you may also consider applying to Vanderbilt and Washington University in St Louis - both are in top 20.
