Hi all,

While some of us are still awaiting admission decision, some other are probable tired from hearing anything related to the admission process... I am somewhere in the middle, so I'll try my luck :-)

Well, I am interested in constitutional/human rights law (minority rights/equality etc.), and looking for an academic career in those (not perfectly defined) fields. I have been offered relatively generous scholarships by NYU (legal theory program) and U Mich, and while being well-aware of the higher ranking of the former, I wonder which school is "friendlier" in terms of better chance of acceptance into J.S.D. program (given my fields of research).
I would appreciate any insights on this regard!

Just wondering why you don't consider UChicago given its academic reputation or CLS given its ranking?

Well, it's basically a matter of financial limits. The scholarship/financial aid offered by NYU/U Mich is significantly higher than CLS/U Chicago offers...
