Hey guys,

Would like to invite Indian applicants for Fall 2014 to share their experience and foster discussions on their applications and admissions.

Cheers.

I am a 3+ PQE lawyer, working with a corporate law firm; interested in corporate laws/ M&A focussed LLM; applied to Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, NYU and UPenn. Have been wait listed by Chicago and deferred by CLS and UPenn.

Hello, I got an acceptance from Northwestern University on January 22nd to their general LL.M program.

Thank you,

I have applied to Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Berkely, USC gould, NWU and Emory. I have received acceptance from USC gould, Emory and NWU, have been denied an acceptance into Chicago, have yet to receive a decision form the rest....

Congrats too you too!! I hope you get into the Harvard, or whichever is your first choice. I got a straight on rejection from Chicago, I did not apply to the top 3, I was certain I would not get in....but I was very surprised and extremely happy when I was accepted into NWU.
Please do let me know as and when you hear from them, I shall do the same.
I currently work in Bangalore.

All admitted Indian students to various law schools in the US are requested to share their profiles, areas of interest and other experiences they may want to share. Also, those who are spoilt for choice already, what universities are you looking forward to amongst such choices/ other universities.

Thanks.

Any Indians who've got admitted to any of the following universities, please share some thoughts:

(i) NYU
(ii) Columbia
(iii) UPenn
(iv) Chicago

Thanks.

Best.

Have you guys started worrying about funding yet? I know forms are out for INLAKS and so on. What other schols?

I know someone who got her Columbia offer a few weeks ago (no scholarship) but haven't heard about anyone getting offers from NYU/Columbia. Strange.

I think the Tata scholarships just closed but the travel grant app is still open. And i think Pirjsha Godrej has something but you have to go to their office to discuss it.

I actually didn't apply for Tata for the very reason that the scholarship apps are harder to fill than the university apps. They want attested copies of certificates of all extra-curricular activities. That kind of documentation is quite painful to arrange for. Similar situations for several other scholarships. Like the American Alumni Association scholarship. Hard to motivate yourself to organize all those documents for a 1L loan scholarship.

Sorry about the multiple posts. But the Aga Khan scholarship forms are available from the 16th and have to be submitted on the 20th. But they give you half the amount as a gift and the other half as an interest free loan.

Hi, so from what I understand Aga Khan is only for people who are already graduates and not people who are in the final year of their study? Am i right? Will be glad if someone could clarify.

I think if you look at Aga Khan's selection criteria, it clearly states that 'applicants are expected to have a few years of experience in their field of study'. Therefore, I am assuming yes in response to your question. Why don't you email them?
