Hi all!
I'd like to apply for LLMs in the US (UCLA, Cornell,UPenn, Duke) next year.
It would be really helpful if someone who did his/her LLB in the Netherlands could post here about the necessary GPA.
I really hope a 9-10 is not necessarily required:S
Thanks!

hi!
I didn't get my LLB from the Netherlands (I got it from England) but despite the fact that my academic results weren't very strong (I got a low 2-1) I still got into Cornell. So my advice to you if you're worried about your grades would be to focus on building up your CV, thoroughly research Cornell (eg reading articles written by professors, finding out about the law-related extracurricular activities they offer etc) and write a strong personal statement incorporating the above information. I can't stress how important the personal statement is - take the time to plan and write it properly.
Good luck with your applications!
