Hello all,
I am planning to apply to US LLMs starting in fall 2022. I would say that I have a good resume, having graduated from both my Bachelor and master with first class honors (top 3%). I also have around 3 year work legal and financial experience (1 year in private legal practice and 2 years working in 2 major Central banks).
From your experiences, what do you think of my chances to get admitted to the LLM programs like Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Chicago, Penn etc
Many thanks!

I think that you have pretty good chances for all universities that you have mentioned. Obviously, Harvard would be the most challenging, but it sounds like you would have a good shot there as well.
Besides what you have already mentioned about yourself, you forgot to mention where do you come from. With universities like Harvard and Columbia, this is a very important factor. If you come from a country, which is underrepresented in their class of 2022, then you would have even better chances. If you come from a country from which they get many applications from highly-qualified candidates, then it would be a bit harder.
In any case, make sure that you score high on TOEFL, and have great recommendations and essays.
Good luck!

I agree with Chubritza. I think you have a very good chance of being admitted in the Universities you mentioned. Harvard will be the most challenging but you should definitely apply, and I don't think you'll have a problem getting into the other T14 schools.
