Hi all,
I am struggling between UM (60k) and NW (75k). Has a June 15 deadline.

My background:
Financing is no longer a big concern as my parents promised to sponsor me.
1yr w/e at a top law firm from another country, llb from China + llm from a US school, female. Not sure what want to do after graduation. Generally want to go CA or back to HK. Maybe big law is my first choice. Also want to try NGO during law school.

Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

First off we need the basic questions in this thread answered in order to give you the best advice: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 1&t=206299


And second, can't you sit for the bar with the U.S. LLM you have? Why do you need a JD? It seems like you have some pretty good credentials to begin with

Yeah, I have the same confusion as I did with your last thread: why are you getting a JD? You're already qualified to sit for the bar in any state you want to practice in.
