Hey all,
I would like to apply for an LL.M. at top ten US universities, but I'm not sure about my chances to be admitted. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.
My background: LL.B. from the Netherlands cum laude, honours program, GPA 8,2/10 (quite high for the Netherlands), LL.M. from the Netherlands, GPA 7,5/10, master thesis 9/10, exchange at Columbia, internships at UN HQ and European Commission, paralegal jobs at top law firms (during studies), now pursuing a second Master in international affairs at a top French uni in Paris (speak French and Spanish). BUT: the grades I obtained during my exchange at Columbia are crap. Real crap. Do I stand a chance?
Thanks!
