Dear Brazilians LLM's,

I am creating this post for all brazilians applicants to share their experience and discussions on their applications and admissions.

Tks!!

Helllo,

I am axious waiting my responses, so far I received offers from Northwestern (both the regular LLM and the Law and Business) , which I think that has an amazing program. Stilll have a few decisions to receive though...

Hello!!

Joy, now that I see that you are Brazilian too!!

LLM_SLS, I am also expecting responses from other universities. As Joy, so far I have been accepted in both programs at Northwestern (General LLM and LLMK).

How are the costs of the programs you've applied so far?

Thanks Joy and Kika!

I was admitted to the Northwestern program as well!

Chicado rejected me!

I am still waiting the responses of Upenn, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford and NYU.

It is gonna be a long wait!!!

Lucianose,

I would say that it is among U$ 54 and 58 for the Regular LLM and around 70 for the LLM-K with the business certificate. Plus the living costs. Around U$15-20. That's whats I expect.

LMM-SLS , we have a few in common. I also wait responses from Harvard, UPenn, Berkeley, Columbia, NYU and Michigan. I was also rejected by Chicago, but I knew it is a very restricted program with only 70 spots.

Still considering if I should complete my application to Georgetown since it is in the 14th in the ranking, after NW notwithstanding its excelent reputation. They say it is really easy to maintain contact with government agencies when you are down there.

Hi,

I'm also Brazilian!

Olá!

Alguém recebeu resposta da Upenn?? No fórum avisaram que eles iam enviar as respostas na quinta!

Meu application continua sob revisão.

Obrigada!

Escrevi um e-mail para eles. Eles responderam que para o regular track a resposta só vem em março.

Ufa!!!!!!!

A informação que tenho é a mesma da Joy, de que sai só em Março.
Recebi a resposta da Michigan!!!
Alguém recebeu também?

I also did not receive anything from Upenn.

I think LLM Guide asks us to speak mostly in English. Have you heard about that anywhere? I don't know if I am just making stuff up, rs

Congrats to everybody who got accepted and good luck in the schools that will respond soon.

Happy to see that many Brazilians may live in Chicago, either studying in Chicago or Northwestern!

Hello! News about columbia?
Many people received an offer already!

I haven't heard anything from Columbia yet.
But I also asked for an scholarship, so I think they will take some time to analyze my application.

For those who applied to Harvard, I received an e-mail today saying that they are in the middle of the analysis and we can expect a decision in late march.

Did anybody pay the deposit fee of Northwestern? If so, who applied for the financial aid?

I think I will pay the deposit because others are taking so long to answer. Anyway, what is the factor that will more important for you when choosing an University: position in the ranking, location, small or big classes?

Ranking and location.
Both big classes (networking) and small classes (get to know more your colleagues and professors) have advantages!

Any news from NYU?

I am getting worried!! I applied for the Int Taxation program

I have been accepted today, but for the LLLM in International Business, Litigation and Arbitration.
Anyone else applied for this one?
