Hey guys,I'm at my final year of undergraduate Bachelor of Laws equivalent program in Bosnia and Herzegovina.I was hoping on applying to LLM program in Norway/Sweden,but I need a couple of informations from you.What interests me the most,is whether I am eligible candidate for such,for I have a high degree of proficiency in English language,can finance myself throughout the program(many family members live there),but unfortunately my grades are not quite satisfying so to speak.Is this very important factor?Is it smart for me to apply,or should I not waste my time on this?I can get letters of recommendation from top professors of International Law in Bosnia,it is only my grades that worries me.They are not that bad,I'm a lower average student,but still,I must ask!
Thanks a lot guys for helping me with this one!

I studied in Scandinavia, and the demand for the LLM's at most universities is high. If your grades are not backed up by substantial work experience relevant to the area of law I would not hold my breath. Even if they are, your chances may not be great, since so many capable students with consistently strong academic performance apply.

To sum up, my advice is to apply, since you have nothing to lose, but don't bank on being accepted. Pretty much what the universities would say.
