Hi, I am applying to the following for 2009 admission for the LLM programme:

University of Pennsylvania
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
Cornell University,
University of Chicago
University of Virginia

I have picked these schools on the basis of reputation and the ones I realistically think I can gain admission in to...if selected which one shall I choose, the courses and modules are relatively the same...but which one is the best in terms of employment prospects?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

depend on whic subject you would rather focus. among the universities you chose to apply, u chicago is probably the best, although UPenn is the best for corporate. Virginia is very good too, as well as Cornell. Honestly, I don't know anything about UMichigan, but it is steadly ranked in the top 10, so should really worth it...however, you picked 5 among the top 12...that said, you should also tried with Harvard, Yale, Stanford or Columbia...just to share the information - and eventually keep in touch during the selection to be done in the next few months, I have applied to UChicago, Northwestern, Cornell, UVA, Berkeley, Harvard and Yale...good luck to both of us...
