Hi everyone!

Basically I wanna seek you guys' advice on how likely would I be admitted to the LLM programme of Cambridge.

Briefly, I ranked 3rd in my class (~ top 5%) but have missed a First by a very narrow margin, i.e. 0.01 GPA out of 4.3. My law school has been in the top 20 worldwide for years according to Times ranking (not sure if that matters but just as an illustration).

I am currently a research assistant to a retired judge of the highest court of my jurisdiction and have done internships at my jurisdiction's Legislature, and quite a number of international firms. I also got a few publications at leading local law journals.

I ask this because I am deciding whether I should go for KCL this year or have a go for Cambridge next year. Thank you for helping!

Apply for Cambridge as the main choice, and for KCL as your alternative choice. Don't worry, its not that hard for a top student to get into Cambridge compared to getting into Yale, Harvard, and Stanford.

Good luck! You will be fine!

I take a slightly different view. If you miss a First in your undergraduate degree, it's very difficult to get an offer from Cambridge. Cambridge is known to withdraw their offers from students who did not get a 1st. But your profile seems to easily qualify you for the London universities. If so, I'd recommend either LSE or UCL. KCL is considered as a tier below LSE and UCL.
