Hi! I found out today that I have been admitted to Columbia LLM, and I am feeling so fortunate and happy - especially considering that I am in my final year of JD. I also got into LSE LLM, but I am leaning toward Columbia. No scholarships for either - I'll be getting a line of credit to help me out along the way for whichever one I choose...

I've read the LSE v Columbia thread, but would anyone be able to share their personal experience at Columbia? Is it competitive? Collegial? What's it like? Above all, though, I am most concerned about grades and employment opportunities in NY or Europe in international arbitration and litigation following the Columbia LLM.

Thank you!
