BU any news? - American Law
To Lux Tax,Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:06 AM The questions asked in my interview are quite simple such as: 1. can you describe your work? 2. How many lawyers are there in your law firm? 3. Is there any securities market in your country? 4. What are your difficulties while working in banking and financial law? The interview lasted about 25 minutes. During the interview, i was quite calm and relax and tried to show, in answering the above questions, that the BU program matches with my interests and plans of study. Hope it helps. |

Thanks!Mon Apr 07, 2008 02:25 PM So would you agree in saying that it was just an intw to get a good sense of your english speech grasp as well as further info on your interest to the program? rather than checking on credentials etc (stuff already include in your application material in principle)? |

Please advise what is the work load like. Which are the most highly sought courses? Would you recommend any reading material before classes commence? Any one from India joining this program? Thanks in advance.Wed Apr 16, 2008 01:59 AM |

Hi there..Mon Apr 21, 2008 11:37 AM I took the phone interview for the B&F Program last week. I think the interview went well considering the interviewer indicated that he was satisfied. I hope this is not the standard drill and the decision ends up being negative. Any experiences of this kind? Also, if you are not admitted - is there a way to be reconsidered? Thanks |

Hi everyone, Thu Apr 24, 2008 08:07 PM I too have an interview scheduled for the American Law program at BU and was wondering if anyone had information as to the calibre of the program, its reputation, career prospects etc. If karenllm is out there, i appreciate all the info you gave about the interview and was just wondering in terms or your application where you completed your law degree. I completed mine from the UK less than a year ago so my work experience is comparatively limited. thanks for all the help! :) |
