Thanks Lek.
My program is Non-Thesis program in the Institute of Comparative Law.
I hope I could receive a letter from GPSO.

Congrats!!!! You shall receive a letter from GPSO very soon. What is your program?

I am recommended as well - for the thesis - LL.M. in comparative law. I wish they would hurry up and give me the official "you're accepted" status though.
Anybody know anything about merits of thesis vs. non-thesis. I chose thesis, because I hope to produce something publication-worthy. I've had second thoughts because I've been thinking one gets more guided classroom education in the same time frame and for the same cost with the non-thesis option. Thoughts anyone?

Hi BNR,

First of all, congrats! From my perspective, the thesis option is more academic and research orientated. I also believe that the time frame is different between the two programmes. According to the information provided on their website, a non-thesis LL.M normally takes 1 year whereas the average time for a thesis option ranges from 1,5 to 2 years. This, of course, may rise the cost of a thesis LL.M a little bit (have to pay for additional sessions, living expenses, etc.).

Anyway, I´m just making theoretical assumptions here. Don´t know how it works in practice.

Best,

It finally says "admitted" on Minerva. That's quite a bit better than "recommended by department."
Congrats to all others who have also been admitted.
