Hi...if anyone could answer the following questions, I'd appreciate it. If you had the option of doing only one of the either, which looks more prestigious on a resume? Granted you need excellent records for entry into either of the programs, I'm a bit hesistant about my decisions. I feel like I would have a strong shot at Oxbridge senior status BA for next year, given that I have an acceptance from Toronto JD. I'm thinking that I might just forgo the 1 year wait and then apply for my masters.
I'm torn because I really wanted to get my first law degree at a top school in the world, given the emphasis that employers give...for example, a Harvard JD is more prestigious than a Harvard LLM if you're only getting your LLM after a less prestigious JD.
So if anyone could shed some light on this issue, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
