LLM转JD政策补充

雅鲁藏布江UID: 3704613

这是对 https://bbs.gter.net/thread-1963680-1-1.html 的一些片段性补充。

我写信问过T20几乎所有的招生办，大半都有了回复，大多数都说可以转，但只接受本校的LLM，也有的说连本校的也不接受。这个情况坛子里大家是比较清楚的。我这里讲几个特殊个例。

1）哈佛。据回信的意思（大家可以去信验证是不是我理解有误），就是连本校LLM也不接受转。以下是回信全文：

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately it is not possible to transfer from an LLM Program to our J.D. Program. All applicants to the J.D. program are considered for admission by the standard process. Harvard Law School does not offer any advanced standing, nor do we grant credit towards a J.D. from undergraduate classes.   

For further information about the J.D. admissions process, please visit the Harvard Law School admissions web site at www.law.harvard.edu/prospective/jd/apply/index.html .

Thank you for your interest in Harvard Law School.

Sincerely,

J.D. Admissions

另外，纽约大学貌似也属于此例。兹引用回信：LLM students at ABA-approved law schools and/or foreign attorneys who hold LLM degrees from ABA-approved law schools, may not transfer into nor gain any advanced standing in NYU School of Law's JD program. If interested in JD study at NYU School of Law, they must apply to and, if admitted, enroll in and complete the full three-year JD program. This includes LLM students enrolled at, and LLM graduates of, NYU School of Law. 没有专门说纽大LLM怎么对待，但字面意思显然是不例外。有兴趣的可以去查证一下。

2）哥伦比亚。可以异校转（当然同校更可以）。但LLM又不许正常申请JD 1L，也就是说只许转学或者advanced standing（这似乎意味着没奖学金，我续后也问奖学金的事了，但它还没回信）。我不知道是不是我误解了它的意思，大家可以另外去信问一下核实。回信全文：

Greetings,

Thank you for your interest in Columbia Law School.

For those who have earned an LL.M. degree from another ABA-accredited law school, a maximum of one year's advanced standing may be granted so that the Juris Doctor (J.D.) could be completed in less time than the usual three years.  In order to receive the J.D., all students must be in residence for two years of law study as a J.D. candidate.  Typically, students who have completed an LL.M. would take the first-year foundation courses along with the entering class and subsequently take advanced courses in the following year to complete the J.D. degree.   

Therefore, you would unfortunately be unable to apply for Regular Admission. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.
                  
Best wishes,

3）伯克利。只要是美国的外校LLM，不接受转学，不接受advanced standing，也不接受直接申请L1。也就是说，沾了外校LLM就直接枪毙。

Berkeley回信，就一句话：Unfortunately, we do not admit LL.M. students or graduates from programs other than our own. Sorry.

我接着问：You mean that even if giving up the advanced standing, an LLM (hosted by a school other than UCB) degree holder is still ineligible for regular admission 1L JD application?

Berkeley接着回，还是一句：From American programs, yes, that is correct.

大多数都说可以转，但只接受本校的LLM
==================
忽然想起，这句话只是凭印象说的，没有具体统计过。

刚看了一下，UT也属于哈佛纽大那一类，连本校也不能转。

芝大看来属于哥大这一类，可以异校转，但不知道能不能直接申1L。回信只有一句：

Thank you for your inquiry.  Even with an LLM you’d be welcome to apply as a 1L or transfer – it’s your choice.

说实话，我看了那回复，有点不相信自己的眼睛。直到现在还在想，是不是我问的时候有误导，他的回答并不是我所理解的那个意思？

我觉得你的意思表达的已经很清楚了

嗯……按照UCB的FAQ的意思，也是自己的学生可以申，但是不能直接转……
Can I transfer to the J.D. program from the LL.M. program ?
No.  LL.M. students cannot transfer to the J.D. program. LL.M. students can, however, apply for admission to the J.D. program.

UCB也有一个其他学校没有的好处，其他学校的SJD申请，一般只接受本校的，但UCB还接受异校。
