Hola LLMs!
I applied to GW and AU and got into both. I'm really interested in Environmental law. Anyone have any info of which one is better? Lookin' for some advice. From the DR...so don't know too much about the DC area.

Thanks!

GW is definitely superior as a law school. National reputation and better job opportunities

No it isn't. AU ranks higher. I'm also focusing on Environmental Law I attended the summer academy in Environmental Law this past summer and loved it! If you are in the area you should visit both or contact both schools and see what type of response you get. when I was applying to DC schools I applied to Georgetown, GW and AU and got into all three. I had the best response from AU and when I finished the summer academy i was sure I made the correct decision. Good luck!

You posted JD programs- if want to apply to LLM programs that info is incidental. You need to look at International Law ( turn the page) here is a link from the US News online version: grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/la…
Even JDs who want to study Int'l law go to AU regardless of the JD ranking because it's a top five program in that area.
