Lawyers, doctors and accountants are the three most popular USA of occupation. One of the roads leading to the lawyer is undergraduate course graduation after law school. USA law school usually provide legal system, three years (JD), master of law (LL.M.) and after a three year Juris Doctor (S.JD.) degree education. Application of JD to provide LSAT results, applied for LL.M. programs do not participate in the LSAT test for JD, relative to the threshold of the low, but in 1 years time America law school to help occupation planning and development future is also very, including LL.M.'s research: human rights law, international commercial law and other fields, so LL.M. it is welcomed by the international students.

America law school also has the professional ranks, each year by Newsweek and other well-known publications by university students and professors, the employment rate, the number of students, comprehensive conditions of tuition for the ranking last year, Yale, Harvard law school come out in front.

Chinese students after undergraduate can apply for law school LL.M. degree, the choice of schools can be according to their own conditions into professional ranked in the top 50 of the University, the need to provide TOEFL test, generally not less than 85 points. In my years of guiding students to study abroad application, found that the biggest problem is a personal account of the letter (Personal Statement) to write very weak, not prominent features and advantages of the applicant. I believe that every China students have their own flash point, the key lies in: how to smooth English correct expression comes out, let the readme talent showing itself in numerous letter for competitors. Confucian culture education China we should be modest and reserved, caused the Chinese people do not dare to face their first time flashing light

I and many university admissions director discussed this question, they often get the application materials, the applicant readme letter didn't read two minutes lost down interest. In March of this year's home, one of the students had found me, depressed, just south of American a State University Law School refusal. Arguably, his personal good conditions, a boy is very sunny, the focus on the University of reading, the GPA score of 3.2, TOEFL score of 92 points, participated in many social activities, practice in the law firm to assist a large business case. I looked at his personal statement letter, find this readme letter plain water, insipid. A beginning is talking about how he will go to the protection of human rights was ideal, to the middle later relates to his education background and working experience. I repeated communication with him, from his university professional experience, social activities, the direction of international commercial law is more suitable for him, then re writing my letter, are beginning to clarify why to American law degree international read LL.M., then talked about the related courses in University, and internship programs, proving itself has to USA further study of international commercial law strength, finally discussing plans after graduation. In English literal abandoned original stiff in English expression. Then I also revised the 3 letters of the original, so that each Recommendation describes the characteristics of applicants during the process of color, at the same time and self-reported self evaluation coincides with the letter.

At the end of 3 America me back, the boy to send me a mail, for several university, is not very sure, ask whether or not to apply for admission in January next year. My answer is no hurry, so no results of admission in the fall. At the end of 4, I received his message, said admission is 3 University, including Pennsylvania State University (Penn State, the ranking of the top 50), the American University (American University professional rank 38), Penn State gave a $5000 scholarship. Very happy for him. After 2 weeks, his email said 2 other university also admitted, which gave a $8000 scholarship, including California University Hasting (the top 30 professional).
