LLM chances

Hi I'm an Oxford law grad with an average of 63. I suffered badly from depression and anxiety at uni and had to take time out from studying. Although I returned to full time study and completed my degree I was unwell again in my final year. As a result I missed a lot of teaching which I then had to catch up on while studying for my finals. Basically I feel I totally dropped the ball at uni and I worry that this may have ruined my chances of studying for an LLM at a good school. I was wondering if anyone had advice as to which good schools in the uk and us I may have a chance of getting into? Thanks

What percentile is a 63? What have you done after your degree? What kind of references can you expect?

Hi fellow English student! I just wanted to take the time to let you know that provided you have a well-rounded application, you should still be in for a very good chance. I read about a young man who graduated from king's college with a 62 and he got into UCLA with a scholarship. I personally have a figure in the high 60s but my undergrad school was a polytechnic (very low ranked), and I have been offered admission for Berkeley's professional track program.

Do you have any work experience?
