I wonder if we could do some statistics! It would be interesting to know background of potential (hopefully)colleagues. Just 6 Qs that could give all us an impression of other applicants.

1. Country of origin/age:
2. GPA:
3. Years of professional experience:
4. Number of publications:
5. Toefl score:
6. Any amazing facts about you:

Please answer the questions (if you find it appropriate and have 2 spare minutes, of course).

thanks

More Russians. Hope no Aleksey Vyner here :).

Russian dudes, are you from MGIMO, MGU or MGUA? To which universities are you applying?

I'm from MGU, and applying to HLS, Columbia, NYU and Chicago.
Is there anyone else applying there?

I'm from MGIMO and applying to HLS, CLS, NYU, SLS.

Damn. Only first 5-6 schools with real big numbers of enrolled LLMs (besides Stanford) :). You are smart asses! :) Are you using bank loans, scholarships, Fulbright, law firms leverage to cover your tuition expenses?

No, just smart salary. What 'bout you?

1) I`m not that smart :). So no Harvard, Stanford or Yale for me.
2) I do not like NYU
3) They pay nice salaries at ILFs :)
4) I do not have 3 years of experience
5) Consider me to be a fresh Russian graduate :)

1) It does not take to be smart to apply to any law school.
2) Let's see what we end up with in Spring...)

Yeah. I think that I should wait for a year or so to see my possible future. Currently I`m at the crossroads.

So tell me, are you going to concentrate on international commercial arbitration... like many MGIMO dudes? :) And why exactly those law schools? Simply because thy are on the top? Or some particular reasons? :)

My name is Russ, but I don't understand a word of Russian :-O
So can anyone of you Russian folks please tell me, what your fellow countrymen talk about in theses threads:

No, man. I'd concentrate in corporate law. HLS, CLS and NYU are indeed the top schools in corporate law. SLS has a very good corporate program and, besides, it's really on the top ;)

OK, just to scare you people a bit:

1. Country of origin/age: Russia/23
2. GPA: 5.0
3. Years of professional experience: 1
4. Number of publications: 2
5. Toefl score: 119 out of 120 (IBT)

Corporate law... how romantic :)

Damn, you all seem to be gunners here :). No razdolbaj type. :)

Dudes and ladies, are there any Russians who are currently doing their LL.M. in the U.S.? We could talk to them about admission and ask for advice...
