1. The facts

I have been admitted to Sciences Po, which offers a multidisciplinary degree in social science for a BA. Additionally, I have been accepted for a Global Law Bachelor degree in Bocconi.

2. The problem

The multidisciplinary degree offers a myopic view of law; the global law degree is too focused on the corporate sphere.

3. The strengths of each choice

Sciences Po would allow me to learn fluently a third language , which is important if I want to work for an international institution. This university is well regarded in Europe. Moreover, I would be sent abroad for the third year in the US.

The Global law degree would allow me to immediately have skills to work in legal capacity for NGOs, companies, etc. Bocconi is a prestigious financial university in Europe, which is reflected in their program.

4. The dilemma

a) As a recent high school graduate, I am not sure whether I am more attracted to private or public law.

b) I am certain that I want to work as a lawyer for some time in my life in the sphere of human rights.

c) I do not know where I would want to pursue my masters. I am torn between the US, UK, France (if I learn the language) and Italy.

d) My interests: I am interested in international public law, human rights law, trade law, comparative law, competition law and environmental law.

5. The kind of advise I need

a) Are there any problems in my approach?

b) Given my profile and the reality of the legal profession, which program is a better pick?

c) If I want to attend a prestigious law school for my masters, is it a better strategy to pick the easier uni to pass?

d Any advise is welcomed.

Dear all,

I‘ve been admitted to the Global Law Track, LLB ( LNAT university) and Sciences Po. My parents have paid only for the Global Law programme.

Though, I would ideally want to pursue law in the US (eagerly waiting Trump to get the fuck out), with my second option if authoritarianism perseveres being to obtain an LLM in the UK.

I see Sciences Po as an opportunity to learn more languages, which would help my career if I chose to work for the institutions. I got admitted to the North American minor.

1. Would you say that the Bocconi law degree is worth it?

2. From the benefit of hindsight, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

I have always struggled with self regulation, yet this year I find myself suddenly crying uncontrollably while in public, being taunted by the feeling of loneliness, and unable to even start studying, due to the high surge of anxiety I get. I would be walking normally on the street, and then start crying. I wasn't like that last year. Is it common for emotional regulation to worsen so much due to ADHD?

I showed an utter lack of understanding of the program, saying that I'd take the Law track and the sociology track. The interviewer corrected me that they go together. Then, I got asked about the perspective of the image and I stood silent. I stupidly asked whether there is an opportunity for me to pursue a third specific language and they said that it was not offered. When they asked about problems I might encounter, I kept saying that I don't know French, which would be an issue. When they asked me about potential problems I might have with the problem, I failed to answer. They asked me to present 2 sides of an argument, which I did so ineptly and I even made up a word, which does not exist in the English language. I am a great writer, but a horrid speaker. I wish these were my only fuck-ups at the interview. I feel so doomed.
