Hey everyone,
I'm aiming at a 2:1 degree and I'll be done with my LLB next year. I want to apply to Harvard for my LLM but I'm unsure as to
a) whether I should work in a firm for a year to build my experience or apply this year?
b) What are my chances of getting into the program?

I've interned at a international legal think Tank, and 2 of the best law firms in my country for a month each. Also, I will be publishing 3-4 articles in some law journals this year.
If all goes according to plan, I will also be TA to the head of the law department at university.
Is this sufficient to get me into their LLM program? Should I wait till next year or try this year as well?
And what else can I do to help my application get noticed?

Any advise in terms of activities, work or my app in general would be greatly appreciated.

If you have no rush to leave your country (like many do because they do not have jobs) then stay in your country, gain working experience, it will definitely boost your application and it will make your LLM way more intereseting and relevant.

Goodluck.
H.
