Chances of Acceptance?
I'm considering an LLM, but I want to have an idea(realistically) my chances. How difficult is it for a graduate of a Tier 3 school to get accepted into a program at a Tier 1 school? Do LLM programs generally accept only the top student and/or law review editor? Is there an "average" law school gpa that a student should have to be genuinely considered?

I do not think the law schools, while admitting candidates for LL.M, consider the ranking of school from where they did your basic law degree.Thu May 01, 2008 05:33 PM I have been admitted in several top Tier I schools with scholarship also despite being from not a very high ranking law school of India. the criteria with most of the schools seems to be : (a) gpa in basic law degree; (b) statement of purpose (c) essay (d) writing sample (e) letters of recommendatins (f) profile of the candidates, including work experience. |
