Hi everyone,

I was wondering if my credentials will be enough for NYU LLM program (Trade Regulation) or U Penn LLM. I graduated from top 20 law school (J.D), GPA: B+(3.3), and would have solid recommendations from a professor whom I worked as a research assistant for 3 yrs and former internship employer. Do you think I would have a shot at either one of these programs? Also, do you think the fact that I am a foreigner would help in getting a greater chance at getting admitted (not a US citizen or resident)?
I would really appreciate any of your inputs, especially those by people who are or have been accepted to those law school. Thanks!

I have been admitted to both schools and I think you have your chances in both schools. Being a foreigner will not impact your application.

Thanks for your reply, globe! Are you also a foreigner with a JD? Have you decided on which school you'll be going to?
