Hi there

Just wanted to some advice on the below.

For context, I am a current 2nd Year law student at Cambridge with a view to do a masters in the US either at Harvard, Columbia (though I am aware of stringent work experience requirement) , NYU, Cornell or Penn. If I was to get a 1st / high 2:1 this year what would be my chances ? Also are there any recommendation as to what I’m should be doing in my penultimate summer ?

Thanks in advance :)

No one can tell you for sure, but I’d hazard a guess that a first from Cantab will get you into at least a couple of those (maybe all of them), assuming your references and written work are up to snuff. Try to get some legal experience in the summer.

Hi - thanks for the reply. What sort of work experience would you suggest ? - commercial ?

Also is work experience a major player in admission to the schools I’m mentioned. I only worry as I want fi go straight out if undergrad
