Hello everyone,

I have studied Law in Germany and earned my First degree in Germany (Erstes Staatsexamen). My core-field of study was International Trade Law.

My exam results were average due to a busy work schedule besides the exams. And thanks to a very good job offer at that time I have started working in general management after my exams.

After my exams I worked for 3 years as CEO for Europcar in Singapore.

I scored 7.5 at a recently taken the IELTS.

So my first question is: Does anyone have experiences with my chances to get into a LL.M. program with NYU (or even Columbia?)

If yes:
I am planing to get my LL.M. as a qualification to work in the legal sector in a english speaking country (maybe even U.S.)

With my special knowledge during my study in Germany and my work experience in international (trade) law I would be interested to work in this field.

So my second question wold be: Which LL.M. would you recommend. The General one or the specialised one in International Law?

Regards

I think you are pretty safe with NYU. Columbia could go either way. Can't you apply to both?
