Step-by-Step Guide to the LL.M. Application Timeline: How to Plan and Submit Your Applications on Time, Stress-Free

In this Guide, I share my tips and suggestions on how to plan your master of laws (LL.M.) applications so that you could prepare everything on time and submit your applications without any unnecessary stress.

The Guide covers different strategies for approaching your personal statements and motivation letters, CV, recommendations, language tests, academic transcripts, and more.

This Guide addresses the question of when to do what. For the comprehensive overview of what goes into an LL.M. application, please see my Guide on Navigating the LL.M. Application.

If you are new to my work, I myself am a Harvard grad.

When applying for a master of laws, I got into Harvard Law School, New York School of Law, Master's of International Dispute Settlement in Geneva, and the University of Cambridge. From those schools, I was offered over USD 130,000 in grants and scholarships in total.

The year I spent at Harvard was one of the best years in my entire life. I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible.

After doing my master of laws, I freelanced on Fiverr and was a mentor on a platform called DYAD helping others apply to the world's best universities.

I've been helping other people with writing their personal statements and motivation letters for the past 5 years.

I've also been on the side of the admissions committee, evaluating LLM and PhD applications at the European University Institute where I completed my doctoral studies.
