MUST law undergraduates, due to receiving "dual-track teaching" and studying Macau law, Chinese law, and international law, have a significant advantage when applying for LLM programs in the UK/US, and students generally choose these two regions for further studies.
Once the target is set, one-third of the problem is solved; the remaining two-thirds are school selection and application preparation. Between these two, school selection is more important, after all, choosing the right direction matters more than effort. So today, CheersYou（清柚教育） uses some specific application cases to help you solve problems like [What tier can my BG match?], [Can I get into T14 with this background?], [What level can I get in LSAC evaluation?]. There's also LSAC rating insights inside~ MUST students who want to apply for LLM can add CheersYou（清柚教育） advisor: qingyouge23 for more detailed information!

Note: To apply for T14, not only do you need a solid GPA and internships, but also outstanding language scores. For example, Columbia University and the University of Chicago require a TOEFL score of no less than 104, with sub-score requirements; in addition, many T14 schools explicitly state that IELTS scores are not accepted, so students who want to apply must check clearly.
LSAC Rating
Regarding LSAC, you can think of it as the WES certification for law students, which only looks at grades and undergraduate tier. If the certification rating reaches AA, you can basically apply for T20; if it reaches S, you can apply for T14. (MUST 3.2 can be certified as AA, for your reference~)
