Hello,
I am in my 3rd year of a US JD program. Here are my stats:

Undergrad - State school 3.1 GPA (Took LSAT in a hurry - 149, but enough to get into my state law school)
Masters - State school 3.4 GPA
Law - Same State school 3.4 GPA (Top 15% of Class, Law Review Managing Editor with one note, 2 years clerking expereince (part-time) at a law firm, one semester federal judge externship, 6 years work experience before law school and after Masters)

Want to teach for a few years, hence would like to get an LLM. But the market is fierce and my state school degrees won't get me too far outside of my area. So, I am only looking at top LLM programs. Here is the list:

Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, Berkely, UCLA, Northwestern, NYU, Chicago, Virginia.

Am I dreaming too big?

I can't do anything to change where I went to school. I can't change anything about the fact that I got a very low score on my LSAT. But I hope I proved that I could be a good law student by doing very well on my grades and being on the Law Review. Is this enough? What can I do to enhance my application? Can I apply for admission into next year, or should I wait a couple of years after I get my JD?

Please help.

John

Anybody out there to help ??

Yo

My credentials are not as good as yours....and im applying to all the top US schools.....you should defo apply!

Im a UK student!
Yourself?

What is the rank of the law school?

Yo
Its on par with Ox-bridge! Im applying to the top schools cause I know they have a high intake of grads from my school.

YOU SHOULD APPLY, and see how it goes!

Same like GlasgowLaw, I would encourage you to apply. I have been hesistent but have convinced myself that I will not know the answer unless I give it a try. The hassle wil be worthwhile (though the application fee might hurt your wallet a little).

Go for it!

I think more than anything else your work-ex might help a lot. and the fact that you want to teach later... most law schools want that.
