Hi,
Has anybody been admitted.. i have been put on hold..is that a polite way of saying "in all likelihood u will be rejected..??" besides the wait and watch game, is there anything i can specifically do in the interim to ensure i dont lose my chance!!

I have been rejected twice =( despite that i have a double licence in both french and egyptian laws ! , i don\'t know how and when exactly will they consider me to be competent enough to be admitted..

I have been admitted through the EN process. The admissions blog available on the Tufts website, which is quite insightful - it includes some comments on deferral, which might be useful. It indicates that deferred applications are fairly reconsidered in the regular process and thus do not automatically = no.

HI all
I have been admitted to Fletcher and Northwestern and am having a tough time deciding between the two.
Northwestern's LLM in international law and human rights seems excellent and their clinical experience allows me to get my feet wet and work on some very real and interesting projects. Fletcher on the other hand seems to go above and beyond in terms to helping their students out and ensuring they land a position you seek after the program is done
Any thoughts?
I have to decide by Tuesday!

I don't know anything about Northwestern's programme, but Fletcher likewise impressed me with their attentiveness to admitted students; the small class sizes only suggest that that level of attention would continue, and theres alot to be said for it. The quality of teaching is really enhanced with small class sizes - also, I've heard from people who have attended Fletcher classes that that difference is really noticable and appreciated.

What attracts me to Fletcher is the focus on the political/economic/sociological which is unusual for an LLM programme - that is invaluable I think, because it provides a context for the law... esp if you are interested in intl affairs etc. One minus for me is that it is more difficult to get admitted to the bar following an LLM at fletcher (it is not ABA accredited) - its not impossible, but not as simple as attending an ABA school. Though if you have a JD from the US that's not a factor, bec you'd be able to be admitted anyway.

For what it's worth, I didn't end up going with Fletcher, but it was not so much a reflection on the Fletcher programme - the one I did go with was more in line with my specific research interests, and had more international experience attached to it.

Im going to fletcher in August, any tips/advise?

Hi,

I'm very interested in the Fletcher LL.M.

I know that for the MALD you need around 2-3 years of work experience. Of course, for the LL.M. this is also an asset, but is it required?

I'm a final year law student in England, so I don't have any professional work experience (apart from internships).
Could a student at Fletcher tell me what the background of other students was? I.e. did the majority have work experience?
