Hey,

I am planning to do an LLM in either the US or UK next year. However, as I am planning to apply for some of top law schools, I am a bit concerned about one of my grades. In Norway we have a mandatory course named Examen Facultatum which everyone one has to pass in order to get the bachelor degree. The course is a 10 ECTS and functions as an introductory course within philosophy and scientific method. Althoguh we are given grades in this course, no one actually cares, not even the university itself. Due to this I did not put down any effort and recieved a very low grade on the exam. This is of no problem in Norway but I am worried this does not look good when applying to top schools in the US and UK. Does anyone have any idea if the admission centre will put much emphasis on this? Is it possible to explain the status of the course in Norway and that that is the reason for the low grade and will such explenation even matter?

Please give me some advice on this matter.

Best regards from Norway
