Hi
I have just graduated top in my year from the University of Aberdeen (ranked 13th in the UK). I also have publications in UK law journals and have worked in various law firms both in Scotland and at international firms in London.

I am extremely interested in studying an LLM at Harvard. Although I have excellent marks, I was wondering how much the University you go to influences the application? Do the selectors prefer Oxford/Cambridge etc?

Does anyone also know how difficult it is to get scholarships/financial support to fund the program?

Thanks very much

Here are some board discussions about Harvard, which I found useful.
