Hey guys, given the closure of certain universities (Columbia, Harvard among others) and transfer to online classes amid the coronavorus outbreak, how do you think this will impact the 2020/21 LL.M cycle? Is there a chance those of us from affected areas won't get visas? Do you think schools will keep the online-class format indefinitely?

Answers to your questions substantially depend on how the virus outbreak situation will unfold in the United States, in your region, and around the globe.

I don't think we can make accurate forward-looking predictions at this point of time.

That's it. Nobody is able to make predictions as of this time. Let's hope things get back to normal until the next semester.

Yes, as this is an ongoing situation I think nobody (including the universities) is able to predict how this is going to unfold.

However, what are you planning to do? My deadline to make the first payment is April 1, at the moment, I think that I will make the first payment to confirm assistance (USD 1,000) but there is no chance that I am payment the whole tuition for online classes, I prefer to wait another year if that is the case. I am not sure how the other accepted candidates are dealing with this.

I hope that the universities have a contingency plan, i.e. deferral for accepted candidates. But let's see, this is new to all of us.
