Hi, I started this thread to see if there any Nigerians/ Africans thinking of enrolling at UCLA, UPENN or Cornell?

Ofcourse there are a ton of Nigerians

Nice, I got into UC Hastings and UCLA. I am on the waitlist for University of Pennsylvania (I applied 2 months after the deadline). I am waiting to hear back from Cornell. Where did you apply to? and which of them are you likely to enroll in. Plus, did you get your LLB in Nigeria or somewhere else? Am at King's College London.

Waiting for a decision from UCLA, NYU and USC; got into Pepperdine, waitlisted by Cornell and Georgetown. Yeah, I got my LLB in Nigeria

Great, best of luck.

How do you guys really plan to fund the studies considering American law schools are really expensive. I am Nigerian as well. I would appreciate any info on this

Fortunately for me, my parents have offered to pay.

Thanks a lot for the info. appreciate it

Yes, I was awarded a 15,000 dollars Virginia Leary Merit Scholarship at UC hastings, Deans fellowship at UCLA.

Abbiba that is good to hear that you have a partial scholarship. Congratulations. Can I ask you a personal question and feel free to decline to answer. Did you graduate with a first? do you have publications and internships? Just to give me an idea on what I might expect should I apply to any of the schools

Hi,

I am in my final year. So I haven't graduated yet. Have only ever had one Job (that was last summer I worked in a law firm for 3months) But am quite active in Civil society groups Like the Niger Delta Youths for Development and my Personal Statement was strong. Finally, I did my A levels In England and am at King's College London. It is the 3rd oldest University In England and quiet prestigious. Plus, am 20.

Ok that sounds great. All the best in your apps.

I got admitted into UC Berkeley this morning, I'm super excited. No word on financial aid though...

Wow that is wonderful. I missed their deadline. So i did not apply. it is a great school. best of luck...
