Hey,
I've got admits from Duke,GWU and American University. I'm a little confused as to which one I should take up. Although Duke seems to be the better, higher ranked one, GWU and AU are in D.C., which would help me in getting jobs post graduation. And also the ILSP at AU is among the top programs and gives special attention to help those who want to clear the bar exam.
Which one would be better?

my....thats a tough call !! i might be in the same position soon...U should also look into the job prospects if ur looking for any after graduation as this might help u narrow down ur options.

Yeah true. Btw which Univs did u apply?.. did u get admits from duke and AU?

Duke all the way. no doubt

What about the Job oppurtunities? I've heard AU has a dedicated staff for job search and helping the llm students pass the bar..?

I've heard precisely the same about Duke - the level of care shown to the LLM students is apparently off the charts. In fact, I think that's one of the big ways Duke sells itself. I also think Duke is a world-wide name, and will stick with you for life. Nice area, nice weather, beautiful campus, and aparently really familial/friendly. If it were me, without question, I would choose Duke.

@ tga : i applied to duke, AU, GWU and BU. i got an admit from AU ..still waiting for others. i am interested in AU too

Congratulations on getting into American. Did u get any call from Boston? Any interview? And all the best for the others, we might actually end up going to the same university.

hey thanks ! yes i did go through the telephonic interview and now just waiting for their decision
