LLM@BU with Scholarship or GWU?
Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:10 AM
Hey, guys,

I have received an admission in the LL.M program in Americal Law from BU with a scholarship of $10,000 as well as oen from GWU in LL.M in IP without scholarship.

I decide to take a concentration in IP if accpet the BU offer. But that program in GWU has a higher prestige with a 3rd rank (is it?).

Could you please give an advice by providing some information on the jobs of graduates from these two schools in US? Actually, I intend to pursue for a position in a law firm in US. And is it feasbile for a student in LLM to transfer to JD in these schools?

Lookling forward to your kind replies.
Thanks in advance!

BU's IP program is very good.
If you decide for BU join our group on Facebook: "Boston University LL.M. 2009".

Can you tell us about your experience with IP? From my research, it is almost impossible to get a job in IP after LL.M unless you have a science degree. Litigation is a closed door because the J.D's easily get these jobs. If you are only interested in IP, you should take GW over BU. It's ranked better in IP and better overall as well.

Yeah, I have earned a B.S already! 4 years' experience in patent prosecution, one year's intership in Siemens...
What about getting a job after graduation?
Frankly, if I can not be provided with a job in US, I would prefer to go to MIPLC...
