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?

Just would like to share my experience. regards maurice Thu, 01 May 2008 19:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/46674/last#46698 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. 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.
