Well Lionel, we might meet soon. I haven't yet made up my mind, but this is actually due to my general unability to make decisions ; )

Just out of curiosity: what made you go for the MIDS?


It has the best professors of the world, it is organized by two very well known institutes, it is a very complete program, and it is located in the center of the arbitration world.

Thanks! John Hopkins SAIS for International Relations, specializing in International Law.... I don't know how this compares to ADH Geneve or IHEID so I'm pretty confused. I wanted to apply to LSE for their LLM (human rights) but they are pretty filled up. Any ideas on these courses and how they compare?

Where are you planning to head to?

Well, I'm heading to Geneva for several reasons:
1. The exceptional faculty;
2. Very good curriculum;
3. Particular interest in IHL, HRs and ICL;
4. Internship opportunities in Geneva and
5. Full scholarship :)
The thing is that when one wishes to be active in the sphere of HRs, IHL and ICL, one of the basic criteria to choose the Uni in my opinion is what you get from it in terms of knowledge and links. So that's why I choose Geneva :)

Yes! I was admitted but without scholarship... so I am wondering which school I should choose (I am also considering Georgetown and Cornell's LLm programs).

Sorry to hear about the scholarship. Both Gtown and Cornell are really really good. Do you have any scholarship prospects there?
