Dear LLMers,

I would really appreciate if someone could clarify the following re LSAC. I'm planning to apply for a US programme this year. The problem is that I already hold a masters (in political sciences) from the university in which I did my undergraduate studies in law and a LLM from a UK uni. Do I have to disclose information on my masters degree in political sciences? LSAC requires disclosure of all postsecondary education.

P.S. The universities I'm planning to apply to all require using LSAC.

jFYI: you may also like to consider applying to NYU and UPenn as they do allow students to send documents directly i.e. without using LSAC services. Anyway, hiding the truth might happen to be risky. So you'd better prepare a great motivation letter so that the admissions committee could see the rational behind your preferences, especially why you need the third graduate degree. In seeking admission, it's all about being different from other strong applicants, and it's for you to decide how to show it.

Thank you for ur response.

I agree that there is a risk an this is a risk I do not want to accept. May be u could help me with the following.

Is it right that you can actually send the transcripts to LSAC yourself as soon as the university puts them into a sealed envelope that will be included into the courier's envelope? I'm pretty sure that my university will not pay for ups and fedex and will not let me pay for the services on their behalf. Still i want to get everything done asap.

Hey Humanizm, I've just PMed you)
