Press release for Immediate Publication: Attn. Education, Law and Economy editors.
AUAP (www.auap.com)
issued its new 2006 LL.M-Master of Law classification wwwauap.com/llm.html.
International Law students love this one year program as it allows them after
graduation to sit for state bar examinations. The enroll in a LL.M Students
must have a degree that qualifies for the bar exam of their own country.
The average starting salary of a LL. M graduate is US $ 85,000 per year. Foreign
LLM graduates can automatically work in the US after graduation in a Law related
position. LL.M are mostly aimed at International students (80%).
American Lawyers dislike this competition of foreign educated attorneys in their
own country. They try to block the bar exam access in several states
(Louisiana-North Carolina for example recently). It is why we recommend to apply
immediately.
Our 2006 LL.M. rankings are available at
www.auap.com//llm.html
Information on LL.M-Master of Law
There are only 85 LL.M. The programs are very small (from 8 to 150 students
maximum). Therefore the acceptance rates are low (7% to 40%) LL.M studies last
only one calendar year.
The next entry date is August 2006. The application files should be completed
before January 15, 2006. AUAP placed since 1995 more than 1000 LL.M
Students. Our results are at
www.auap.com/welcome_popup.html
The AUAP Selection + Guaranteed Admission Program ($2000) is a complete
comprehensive program that guarantees admission (80% money back guarantee). AUAP
selects 4 universities according to the profile of the student. It pays for 4
application fees, TOEFL test fees, and credential evaluations fees. Our AUAP
Counselor, generally former or active director of admissions, will help the
student to fill the application forms, correct the essays, coach for the test,
inspire the letters of recommendation, prepare visits and interviews, research
scholarship and help for the issuance of the F1 visa. As LL.M admissions are
extremely competitive AUAP “sell the student” to our colleagues the
directors of admissions. The cost of an LLM is between US $16 000 to $52 000
(including tuition, food and lodging). Scholarships are possible but rare.
This classification takes into account the following data: Selectivity of the
Institution, Starting Salary and International image of the University
established by a panel of international recruiters. Tin 2006 two US universities
from the state of New York share the first place; Columbia and Cornell. Two
other “Ivy League” institutions follow and Harvard, which is stable at the fifth
place.
*Georgetown University is not recommended for bar examination as said in their
documentation.
