Hey all guys,

My name is Antonio Alderuccio, a senior year law student at the University of Bologna (Italy). I am planning to apply to a LL.M program. Just deciding if a U.S or a U.K one. Which of the following universitis, in your personal opinion, would accept me? Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingham.

I am involved in the official translation project, headed by Prof. Lucio Pegoraro and Prof. Nino Olivetti Rason (University of Padova), of the american textbook "The Constitution of The United States of America - A Contextual Analysis (Author: Prof. Mark Tushnet).
I have translated Prof. Pegoraro's academic article on the citations of foreign scholars in the constitutional jurisprudence. This article is a contribute to the book "Courts and Comparative Law" published by Oxford University Press (2014).

My final grade should be 102-103-104/110 (the minimum grade is 66/110).

Could I get into one of the above mentioned seven universities?

Thank you so much guys and enjoy this summer!
