HI all!
I have a question which I am hoping you can shed some light on. I am an international applicant and I am already a qualified lawyer in my home jurisdiction with almost two years of work experience. I come from a Spanish-speaking country, but I did an LLM in England. I am submitting two academic letters of recommendation from my LLM professors. I know it is usually better to have undergrad professors recommeding you, but my reasoning is that it would be more beneficial for me to show the admissions team that I was able to succeed in a top English-speaking law school in England. Moreover, as an international applicant, my undergrad studies (in this case already a law degree) seems to not be that important, and they won't even count my GPA, which is unfortunate because I did very well there
. Anyways, does that reasoning make sense? Many thanks in advance.
Best
