Hello everyone!
I am currently looking at application forms of different programs and could really use some advice.. Since this community is so amazing, I decided to ask for help :)
I am currently enrolled in LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law at George Washington University, as a Fulbright scholar. I am working on my thesis, but I'm also looking for options for continuing my education. Since my general goal is to become a professor, I am considering several options. However, coming from a relatively poor country, I will need a scholarship/fellowship that covers both tuition costs and basic living expenses - and those are extremely hard to find.
I have considered applying for Hauser programe, but I am not sure that I have much chances. I am aware that Fulbright is a good recommendation, but I'm also aware that they have EXTREMELY high standards. Besides Fulbright, I have received several national awards as the best student of law in the country, and I have solid extracurricular experience (Wiliem C Vis Moot, for instance), as well as work experience (worked for the UN). But I see that most past scholars have over 10 years of experience, so I am not sure what to do. Can you please share any additional insight into their selection criteria, so I can deduce whether I have any realistic chance of getting into the programme?
Additionally, are there any other programmes you'd suggest me to consider? I know that alternative to getting a second LLM would be applying for SJD - but honestly, I really don't feel ready to write a research proposal for SJD right now.
Thank you so much for your time and patience - I know that this looks like a nervous rumble. There are simply so many options and so little time :)
Best wishes,
M
