At this point, I really have no idea what you are trying to convey in relation to earning an LLM degree at a US law school.
An LLM degree from a US law school is unlikely to help one in the field of “airline management”. OP: Better to pursue an MBA if airline management is your career goal.
I am trying to answer @Alpiiiish who will be starting his 1st year of university in France this fall and wants to know how to attend an Ivy League university, conveying that before any Ivy League degree enters the picture they need to do very well in their undergraduate studies as this is a condition for everything else.
For your career goal of airline management, it would better to focus on economics and AI (artificial intelligence) as well as data science/data analysis and computer science.
^ I agree.
Even better: find IUTs with a “TC” track, do well, then apply to a Business school. It’ll be easier to stand out (class of 40 vs.300) and It’ll be less math-intensive. @Alpiish: have you started working on Precalculus ? You can use Khan Academy (there’s a French version). Once that’s done you’ll need to complete Statistics&Probability and Calculus. All of that needs to be mastered before you start in the Fall.
I will be participating in the ‘’ session complementaire ‘’ of parcoursup. I really hope the IUT’s have some spots left for me to apply to. But my math results are not high.
I saw the masters programs of sciences po; and I have really liked one of them. But how can I, if graduate schools are kind of hard to get into or that they ask for work experience; how can I build a strong profile for sciences po’s master degrees ? They have a very nice US universities agreements and exchange programs.
And also the law branches I’m really into are : intellectual property / criminal law or new technologies.
You can apply to 10 subjects but a single subject can encompass several universities so hopefully you can apply to several (ie., Sorbonne, Saclay, big cities, and small towns) for each of IUT TC, Economics, and Law. If push comes to shove, add BTS comptabilité or BTS CI full time at a public school (the private ones are the worst ripp offs I’ve seen; doing it as co-op may be tempting but it’s simply impossible to do as well with 1 week of class and with 4 weeks of class.)
You’ll need a minimum of 4 small town possibilities since these will be your best bets.
I know your math is a problem (I remember your other threads), that’s why I told you to start working on it now.
I just feel like I have to start this year Because I will turn 23 and it just makes me extremely sad. I should have been more careful during high school. Because of that all the doors are closing to me.
Starting at 23 is socially a failure for me. I feel old and that I won’t be successful in life. Not being able to make money and always comparing myself. Always feeling im late and behind on everything. I feel very inferior.
To an adult, you could be 20 or 23, it doesn’t look different.
Omg you were born in the 21st century … so all ages hereon are the same to us.
Even with other first years, say you went backpacking for 2 years and are 20, your classmates will totally belive you and will consider you insanely cool.
I know it’s a big deal to you but REALLY it isn’t.
It’s not middle school with 12 vs.14.
I know it’s not a psychology forum here; but how can I go through or move on that all of my high school classmates have now internships in the most recognized firms in the world and there is me doing nothing…? And also talking about graduate degrees;
I’ll be probably starting law school at Sorbonnes, it’s a hybrid program where I can study home and just go for the exams. Instead of applying for graduate schools which can be hard, is it possible for me as a French citizen to take the LSAT and apply for law schools in the US? Because I really wanna settle down there in the future. Instead of just taking an LLM.
Start by following this philosophy: run your own race.
The US is not like a country in the EU - you can’t just move and settle there. In addition, in the US, Law school requires a Bachelor’s degree and some work experience.
In addition, French or German law follow a "civil code’ whereas US, English, Scottish law are Common law.
Wrt your HS friends : they stayed home, perhaps went skiing on weekends and did the done thing. You took risks, travelled the world, held a job or two, had adventures and are now forging your own path.
Btw, I hope you have friends youbmet AFTER HS.
OP- put those potential legal research skills to use right now and invest two hours in your future.
Hour 1- what does it take to get a student visa; what does it take to get sponsored by an employer in the US; what does it take to get a Green card. You will learn that-- sadly for you- you can’t just decide you want to settle permanently in the US.
Hour 2- What does the curriculum look like for an LLM, MBA, JD in the US; what are the admissions requirements for each program.
Just be aware absent aid (FA or merit), law school will be well over $100k/year for the level of law schools you are targeting. This plus 3 years of forgone income is going to be effectively an over $500k investment. Unless you reach the higher echelons within an airline company, you will never get a return. From a purely economic perspective, you are better off working right out of college in a management program and perhaps the airline will help pay for a JD or MBA if they feel this is appropriate for you and them.
Of course if money is not a concern and you just want to study law, that is another matter.
