Hi guys,
I'm just wondering how much emphasis the NYU international studies LLM places on post-degree employment - I'm finishing my LLB at the end of this year - graduating with first class honours from a top Australian law school with strong LORs. I've got good part time work experience in human rights law and have worked in NGOs overseas - but just a little concerned because I won't be admitted to the bar when I apply, and I haven't worked full time out of university.
Love to hear your thoughts!

You'll get an offer from NYU.

HI!
Any tips on the Personal Statement-content & length?
I find NYU's Personal Statement the toughest, they want it short and I get the feeling, very direct and to-the-point.

Hey!
Any idea about how strictly the admissions committee imposes the word limit on the SoPs?

I wouldn't risk a rejection over the word limit! They are looking at so many that their eyes will automatically notice if a statement looks different from the others. When you're reading a bunch of them in a row, even a small difference in font size or spacing will jump out because it breaks the pattern.

It took over 3 weeks to get my transcripts reviewed by LSAC and it took about a week for each letter of recommendation ..I did a really brutal edit of my 3 page PS to make the word count. I took out some things that I didn't really want to cut. The challenge was to write something that touched on the important points without being too 'choppy'. My first edit read like bullet points so I took out some things and tried to focus on what I thought were the strongest points. As for the extension, I suspect NYU can fill their class long before the deadline. NYU is really popular. I guess there's no harm in asking..
