The only flaw is that the SMU course is full time based and perhaps, the 60k too.
What about NUS GLP? Does it offer to the same target group that SMU does?

Thank you

You will have to ask SMU Admissions team for other considerations. They are helpful and quick in responses.

Both NUS GLP and SMU are full time courses. Both programmes are open to applications from different groups.

I was thinking that they will usually not disclose other merits to be considered as it would most probably be a case by case basis. The chances seem to be higher for SMU because NUS GLP prefers non law graduates

i was rejected today, i consider myself charming and good looking, but somehow they didn't offer me an interview

[jameslee58]

my friend told me last year they called around 150 peoples for interview, only 30 was offered ...not sure how true, so little meh ?

Erm I doubt they stated that they will consider based on looks?

[jameslee58]

clearly, this was just a joke, so did you apply ?

As mentioned, I will only apply after I graduate with my LLB. Anyway, about the ratio, is it true? If yes, then i'm quite disheartened.

i didn't read the whole thread

but out of curiousity, any reason LLB graduate need to pursue JD ? ( i'm not cristicising you, if there's something i don't know ...? )

i had heard this during info session, LLB may apply too, but no one explain why one need 2 law degrees

the ratio, according to my friend he heard it during info session

Perhaps you should read the whole discussion then? It's not very long anyway. But I'll do you a favour. The reason is simple because my LLB does not allow me to practise since it is an external programme by UOL.
