Do you want a corporate law program?

Augusto,
I'd like an LLM in general studies, health law or international studies. I know the rankings in those areas but I'd love opinions on my chances to get in to programs.
thanx

Well, your chances will very much depend on a) your rankings b) your personal statement and c) your recommendation letters.
TOEFL does not really matter that much as long as you have reached the limit of 100.
In general, it seems to me that your background is strong enough to get into one of the top 10 schools. I believe all these (except Stanford) have strong general LLM programmes, so that won't be a problem.
