Hi everyone, this is my first time going through the LLM process, and I was wondering if offers come with any implied conditions? My current set of offers (including NYU and Penn) don't come with any specific conditions mentioned, but I was curious if law schools tend to rescind offers. For example, as a final-year UK law student, I have written that I expect to get first-class honours (as my Professors told me they would predict this result in their references as well), but will my offer be rescinded if I end up getting a Second-Upper (missing First-Class narrowly)?
Rescinding of LLM Offers?

Hello
I don't think so. My experience is that schools in the US will grant conditional offers on the basis of satisfying language requirements for applicants who are not native English speakers and not on getting a first class grade or otherwise. The US is more holistic when granting admissions and even scholarships, I have read cases where an individual with a second class lower bagged a full scholarship for a Masters program.
In essence, you have nothing to worry about, once the overall quality of your application including the Personal statement (very important) and recommendations are good missing out on a first class would not taint your chances to other top schools.
