French student
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:03 pm
Hey there.
I'm studying in Sorbonne Law School, Paris (first year post-graduate, please excuse my english). Fortunately I found this great website full of advice. Still, I have some questions.
•Sorbonne has a double-diploma with Columbia Law School (2 years in NYU that make you a Juris Doctor if I cottoned on, 2 others in Paris anyway).
Each year, only two Sorbonne students are actually accepted out of 3000 applicants...
Given the odds for a French student to compete with 4years-post-graduate American at the LSAT, is it worth to apply for the double-diploma Sorbonne/Columbia that does not require the LSAT ? (what are the odds at this admission test for a french anyway?)
•Are there others ways for a French student to study in a TLS and actually get an useful experience, in order to be and international business lawyer ? (not pretty sure about the words, in french we'd say "avocat d'affaires international")
With which minimum score at the TOEFL ?
•There's also a double diploma Sorbonne/King's College of London. What are your thoughts about this kind of study?
•My very last question, promise: finally, I'm a pretty good student (scientific baccalaureat "mention Très Bien", top 5 student in my year), spending$70,000ayear-mood isn't likely to take me, and I want to work as a business lawyer in the USA or in an american law office in Paris. I really do.
So basically, what would you recommend me to do or not to ?
•Christ, I can keep a promise: I am planning to go in UK or the USA this summer (enhancing my english, shunning French culture), how could I optimize this trip in order to enter an American law school? Talking about freak french wonders...
Thanks in advance !
Advice galore is not the first thing you'll find on parisian forums. You guys are my do-or-die chance to know what are my shots as a Frenchie.
You have a good afternoon.
