http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487 en EMLE vs. EMTTLF - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#60487 I've got admitted to both programs. I understand the two programs focus on different subjects, one in Law and Economics and the other Int'l Trade and Finance. However, besides this difference, could anyone provide insights on ups and downs for either program? Information about EMTTLF is especially limited on this board - is it because the program is relatively new? Thanks! Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#60503 I have heard that the EMLE is far better, due to the program itself and the faculties that are part of it... I havent attented neither of them, though... Congrats for beeing accepted in both of them!! Thu, 26 Feb 2009 18:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#60510 congrats on ur admission! have anyone else have heard from EMTTLF? in my opinion, EMTTLF offers better curriculum, and better universities are involved in it Thu, 26 Feb 2009 23:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#60536 Congrat, but is really strange... nobody has received any information of both masters and you have got both acceptance. Great! What did they tell you? When is the deadline to accept or not the course?? Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61248 has anyone else received any information from EmTTLF Secretariat? Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61727 No, nothing....what about you guys? Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61831 I appied for the LLM in Finance offered by the ILF, and unfortunately I have been put in a waiting list. I can not consider it as a bad new but by no means as a good new. Let’s see... What about you gentlemen? Have you already been accepted? Cheers. Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61834 No, I just applied for the EMTTLF..... and I still waiting for information.... Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61838 I ve been admitted to EMTTLF (with specialization at IFL Frankfurt and with Erasmus scholarship), but have been denied to EMLE. I realy do nor know what to do, since I work with finance law and LLMs at USA universities are more recognized to such area. I apply to some USA universities, but have been admitted only at Duke until now. No scholarships, but I trying to be sponsored by the company where I work. What you guys would do in my place? best regards!! Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61839 First of all, when you received the information from EMTTLF Secretariat? Answering your question, I agree with you and If I were you I would go to an american university.... Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61937 Received by February 20, 2009.... Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#61944 Thanks... Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#62207 Where is my LLM. If I were you I would go definitey to Duke since it is top10 USA university and the professors over there are simply excellent. On a different note, its reputation it is widely known all over the world. Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#62344 I would surely accept Duke. It is an incredible university and its LLM program is regared in the entire world. I have some friends that have taken Duke and they have just loved it... everything about it. The city, the college spirit and, of course, the LLM itself. All of them got offers from top law firms in the US and abroad and doing fine!! Besides that the LLM of Duke is a 1 year program, while the EMTTLF is a 2 year program... that makes the whole difference regarding beeing placed back in the "job market"... I would certainly attend Duke... the extra $$ that you will spend are totally worth it!!! Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#62353 And what about you Colorado? Have you received any information from the emttlf secretariat? Where are you from? Tue, 10 Mar 2009 09:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#62491 Hi Imilanez, as I said I have been put in a waiting list. That's very bad but let's see If I am accepted. I am from Barcelona (Spain) and currently I am working as a visiting lawyer at Fox Mandal Little which it's a top indian international law firm very active in cross-border transactions. The problem it's that the ILF told me that till May I will not be able to know whether I have been accepted or not. Tue, 10 Mar 2009 09:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#62492 Sorry I forgot to say that I am working in Delhi, India Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#63078 Thanks colorado, you have such a good background, I´m pretty sure you´re going to be admitted!! I´m still waiting for the Emttlf. Anyone else? Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#63080 lmilanez, seems like since we have not received any messages from them, we have not received EM scholarship :(. On the their website it is stated that successfull candidates will be punctually contacted. And now they do not answer any letters concerning application status. Meanwhile, in the letter of acknowledgement of documents receipt they wrote that we would keep you informed about your application status. Don't know what to think. Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#63087 For the EMTTLF (with a second year in ILF), I got a sense that it really is a combination of the Deusto/Tilburg one year LLM of In't Business Law (http://www.transnational.deusto.es/academic/#llm) and the ILF LLM, with possibily a slight modification. Both programs are quite good though. Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#63090 Yuryst, I tend to agree with but I still have some hope that they still working on it due to a large number of applications. Well, I would keep expecting at least until the end of march, don´t you? Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#63094 Yes, I can't do now anything else except just to expect. Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#64109 Imilanez, I think that if my background was that good they would have already accepted me instead of putting me in a waiting list. Somehow I have hope to be accepted but I do not want to get my hopes too high, let’s see. Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#64191 Colorado, as you may know sometimes background is not important as other "issues"....... Sat, 23 May 2009 09:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#71388 Hi guys I am new to forum. I intend to apply for 2010 session. I was wondering if anyone of you has the contact details of any current student of EMTTLF so that I could contact him/her to know the real situation. Thanks ! Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#72233 Hello, I'm the very same situation as the guy just above me. I applied within the May 31st. deadline and haven't heard anything yet. ¿Has anyone been admitted so far? It seems to me, based on what I`m reading here, that they simply keep you in the dark and contact only the succesful candidates. I know it's only been 12 days, but whether good or bad, I do need to know their decision for the sake of my funders and also to think about a Plan B! Sun, 14 Jun 2009 00:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#72273 Hi guys! I would like to apply to EMTTLF this fall for 2010-2012 class as an Erasmus student, but I will get my bachelor’s degree only in June 2010. Yet I can provide a proof from my university that I will have completed my studies and received my degree by that time. I’ve already got a relevant work experience in the investment bank. Do you think I am eligible to apply this year? Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/60487/last#73580 @ Valerie: yes, you're perfectly eligible. Upon admission, you'll have to be graduated though. I am in the same situation. @ Manishkapoor and everyone else arouund: I just talked on the phone with Deusto because I needed to confirm (for my funder's sake) that I was out. Big big big surprise: even though it's already the 22 of July, the haven't met a decision yet! So hang in there! The also told me that in spite of the website telling you not to do it, you are encouraged to call them to inquire about your application status. They are admitting only 4-5 people - the other 20 or so were admitted in February. So good luck, don't give up. I'd already given up any hope and nearly my scholarship...
