Dear All,

Any news form:

1) the Stanford LL.M. Program in Corporate Governance & Practice ?

2) the Stanford LL.M. Program in Law, Science & Technology ?

Many thanks !

None. But, any news would be greatly appreciated.

I spoke to them last week and they said the decisions would be made by late March....

I think they will send emails .....heard they made calls as well last year...

Which program have you applied for?

Do you know if Stanford require personal interviews as part of the admissions process (LL.M. Program) ?

With best wishes,

I heard that last year they interviewed shortlisted candidates for the IP LL.M, just few days before sending out formal offer. There is some post on this forum also regarding interview by stanford.

good luck!

Yes, telephone interview...

I got in touch with the Office of Admissions and they said preliminary decisions will be made this week and will inform via email. I wonder what are preliminary decisions... All set and done.. i am getting paranoid...

Hey Rajat,

Is that for SPILS or the LL.M programs also? Any idea?

Well the point as regard to no phone interview- its for all advanced degree courses. and for the preliminary decisions this week( which i still dont know what they actually mean), its for SPILS candidates. hmmm hmmm :-)
Best of Luck

Dear all,

Has anyone done a phone interview with Stanford ?

many thanks !

Does anyone else find that there are certain people on certain lists on thsi site with whom I really genuinely hope I do not study. It seems to me money and career prospects are the only reason people apply for an LLM. I will be asking which schools certain members are accepted to so that I do not end up at university with them.

Hamish,

Yes, I agree that this board seems obsessed with rankings. However, you need to understand that in order to work for a "mega" firm you need to graduate from a top law school, preferably with a JD degree. You also need to understand that most foreign law school graduates applying for LL.M programs in the US will be spending quite a bit of money, alot more money than they paid for their undergraduate law degree, so they will naturally want to be admitted the the most highly ranked law school possible. That being said, it does seem slightly ridiculous to quibble over the merits of NYU versus Columbia versus Berkely etc. Graduate from a top 10 law school and you should be fine. The LL.M is not a JD and is only a year.

Acceptances have been sent. I know people that are in already. Good luck to all! This is my #1 school...

Which Program? I know they send acceptances for different programs at different days...any idea?

Hey Paul, for which program have they sent acceptance letter? LLM /JD/SPILS?
best

hey Ritu, do you have any idea if they have begun sending acceptnce letters?

Hi Rajat,

I spoke to their admissions office last week and they said that the order in which decisions would be made are SPILS-LLM Corporate and then LLM Tech with all decisions likely to me made in next 3 weeks...

Sorry, this is all the info that I have....Good Luck!
