Spanish student in USA

Hi!
I'm a spanish Law and Politics grad, and I would like to get into a top LLM program (Berkeley, Duke, HLS, NYU,...), but I'm not sure that I'll get into any of them, becouse my grades aren't really high and I have absolutely no proffesional experience... so I would thank some advice!
My average grade for Law is 7.1 (71%), and 8.0 for politics. Besides, I studied one year at Freiburg University in Germany (I went to a German High School), and another year at University of Oklahoma with study abroad programs.
Would you try apllying now to these schools or is it better to have some work experience first? Im 23 years old.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I think you could try applying to those programs, but you should know that they are very competitive and it is very difficult to get admitted. However, I think the lack of experience wouldnt be a problem because as you know people in the US usually go from the Bachelor to the LLM program without having any prior legal work (because there is no undergraduate program in law, such as the LLB in Canada, UK and other countries).
Best regards!
