Re: Admission
Depends on what you mean by not too good... It's quite difficult to gain admission. Mon Jul 04, 2005 05:17 PM For 2005-6, it's obviously too late. In my opinion, you should contact universities directly (toronto, mcgill and osgoode....ottawa if you're in the intellectual property field), give them your GPA and ask what are the chances... Gbye |

Hi, Khodae.Wed Jul 06, 2005 11:53 AM Maybe being from India could be an interesting asset to explore if you are in fields like Intellectual Property or Information Technology Law. If so, University of Ottawa is certainly the place to be. However, you must take into consideration that admission in Canadian Tier 1 Universities is extremely competitive. I don't know what your marks are, and if you are underestimating it, but rather than already mailing the admission personel to regret from your grades, I recommend you to check out their website about the requirements for the program. After this, write a strong cover letter, go deep in your research proposal, find interesting referees and apply. It won't cause you any harm. Being from a developing country does not count against you. In fact, the asiatic community seems to be very strong in Ottawa. This Fall I am leaving Brazil to the U of O and am very very happy with my (and theirs!) choice. I wish you the best of luck in your applications and hope to see you there in the future. Cheers!

Hi Khodae,Tue Jul 12, 2005 05:01 PM I am from India and have been accepted for an LLM at McGill. My marks in LLB were not so great but I have some work experience which I think definitely helped. The marks criteria may be important if you choose a subject for which there are a lot of applicants like international business law but I think it is your overall profile that they look at. If you have good refernces, a strong statement of purpose and some experience, I am sure you will have a good chance. |
