Hi everybody,

I am looking for an LLM to start next year. I prefer to study in the US but I am flexible.

However, my GPA is not great. In my I got around a B- converting to a 3.0 on the 4.0 scale. In the last two semesters I did much better though, getting all A's basically.

I am very interested in getting into a T14 school, such as Berkeley, Duke, or Michigan. I don't have many hopes of Stanford / Harvard!

My questions are what are my chances, and is there anything I can do to make up for my poor grades?

For example, from the Berkeley Law site:

Berkeley Law does not have a specific minimum GPA requirement for LL.M. applicants. Anyone who meets the above basic requirements may apply.

Thanks, I will do that! I have two years of experience so hopefully that helps.

Yes, that should help!

I hope so. I will also consider the option of applying to a less competitive school. Do you have any suggestions (I guess outside of T14 schools).
