Hello everyone,

Long time lurker here, finally decided to post :).
I was not too sure about writing a "What are my chances?" post, but I would like it to be more than that.

I am particularly interested in getting information from alumnus, or fellow Canadians who decided to make a move and go study in UK.

I am having a hard time getting all the information I need to have a good idea of Universities I could get in.

Here is my profile:

B.A. in international studies/relations. 3.8/4.33.
Completing my LL.B at the moment. Expecting a GPA of 3.52 to 3.55/4.33.

Research assistant for the program director.
Couple of internships (govt).
Other extracurricular activites (pro bono, community legal clinic, etc.).

I am actually looking for universites in the UCL, KCL, LSE(not sure I'm competitive?), QMUL range. I believe I would not have any chance at Oxbridge and am living well with it.

Do I stand any chance?

Any other unis that would be worth looking at? As it is a big investment, I would like my LLM to be from a University that has a "good reputation" for when I go back and one that would also justify the spending.

I'm not sure at the moment if I want to pick a specialization, but I am particularly interested in: IP, International commercial law & International taxation.


Thank you all for your help! :)

Did you do an LLB in the UK (because most Canadian programs are JD)?

Hello grumpyJD,

I am completing my LL.B in Quebec, where almost all undergraduate programs in law are civil law LL.B.
