Okdio...

Spill your gut :D :D

Congratulations on all the admits. It also looks like you are interested in studying securities and financial regulation.

Personally, in that area Georgetown seems to have the best selection (number and course content). The only thing I wonder about personally is how easy it is for LLMs to get into these courses (do JDs fill them up). In terms of reputation, Chicago, NYU and UPENN make the cut.

I would choose between the abovementioned schools and start by declining the Duke and UVA offers.

I have similar interests and am strongly leanings towards LSE or UPENN, based on their respective reputations in my home country.

Where do you want to practice?

Your best bet is to do the US LLM and NY bar and then return to Brussels to work for an international firm. Some of them have programs allowing you to come work out of their NY office for 6 months.

Based on your objectives, I think you are right to narrow the selection down to NYU, Chicago or UPENN.

I don't think you can wrong with any of them.

great thanks mate

It's so exciting to see how this kind of posts increased at this time of the year as the emails from the schools come!

I just realized there are quite a number of applicants who are in the same basket as me, since I feel like I need to make a choice between Chicago, Columbia, UPenn and NYU as well.

Although I have applied to GULC, I have not heard from them yet (I have applied on the last day, Feb 1!) but I feel like I need to decline the offer if I receive any.

I think for students coming from Europe, considering the job market in the US for the last 3 years, it seems very hard to find a job in the US as well...

My two cents: Chicago, Penn, NYU, GULC, Duke.

My 2 cents:

Go for UPenn and the Wharton certificate...If you want to target financial issues it's a great advantage over the rest.

It really depends. If you can do the Wharton certificate, I'd put Chicago and Penn at the same level - in terms of reputation. As far as quality goes, they are both damn good. Penn would be more enjoyable in my opinion.
