Hi,

Any Africans already admitted to LLM programs in the US? I have so far been admitted to Cornell and NYU. I'm waiting for Upenn, Columbia and Harvard decisions.

Let's keep in touch.

Hearty congratulations on being accepted to Cornell and NYU; that's no mean feat. I only applied to HLS myself and now awaiting the decisions in March.

Let's keep in touch.

Hi, congrats on your admissions!

I’ve been admitted to NYU, Cornell, Duke and Michigan. Waiting for decisions from Harvard, Chicago, Columbia and Berkeley. Also waiting on funding decisions.

Would love to keep in touch! Best of luck!

Congratulations to you too. Well done. I feel like the funding decisions will determine everything for me. Lol

Any news?

As we await decisions from the schools can we discuss post LLM opportunities?

Most insights on it are quite discouraging for LLMs in the US and especially Africans. Only Africans I know in top law firms in the US did JDs and not LLMs. Even if it isn't a law firm, I rarely hear of opportunities there. Thoughts? Any success stories?

It's not that I intend to work only in the US but I'd like to keep my options open.

I’m planning to return to South Africa but I do want to also keep my options open. I’m thinking of writing the New York bar which I heard will open more opportunities. There are also a few post-grad fellowships that I’ve read about through the different unis. But I haven’t personally heard of anyone in top law firms and would be interested to find out too.

Congrats to those of us who got admitted into UPenn. It was really a tight one and deservedly we got in.

We await the outcome of the scholarship applications early March.

All the best to us and particularly those on the waiting list.

Hi guys,

Just got accepted to Upenn.

That’s amazing, congrats! Since we last spoke, I got accepted to Chicago. I haven’t had any funding feedback though, have you?

I got accepted to Columbia yesterday. No funding decisions from any universities yet.

i did LLM in year 2006, about 14years ago in my country. Will like to further to Phd but felt rusty now as i have not done any research work in a long while. Can i apply again for LLM in another area of specialization? if yes, do i need to inform the school of my past study?
