Hello, I am a French student who wish to specialize in antitrust law or in international arbitration. I was admitted to Upenn and Cornell. Given the fact that I wish to work afterwords in the US, which university would you choose? I am quite confused since a friend of mine who works as a lawyer in the US and went to Upenn recommended me Upenn, whereas other people told me that Cornell is more famous in spite of its lower ranking. Thank you!

Hey.
Thats a very good choice you have to make. Academics wise both universities are equally strong so you are quite assured of the excellent quality of education and teaching you will get in both these unversities. However when it comes to finding a job, I am not witness to this personally but just echoing the numerous views posted on this forum before, that employers usually concentrate on the top ten unversities for hiring LLMs in which case Upenn is the better choice. However having said that it could be very subjective and would also to a great extent depend on each individual candidate and the other special qualification which he or she possesses. Hope that helps. Good luck in making your decision. You cant go wrong with either one. Cheers!

First Congratulation for those two admissions, let me advise you to choose Upenn if you want to get a job !

Sincerely.
