I'm sorry I'm at the library ... (no thai fonts here)
Actually, I'm doing LLB in the UK as well, so the grading system is quite different from other parts of the world. Anyway, for students from Thailand to get into univs like Oxford or Cambridge (US top10 equivalents), they should have obtained at least GPAX of 3.8 plus some work experience at an international law firm or organisation, awards , or some sort of publication. The last one is the most determinative one, however, it's very rare for Thai students to get their publications in journals in any field of studies, never mind legal journals. So, work experience or some awards would be the most helpful in this case....Above all, this about your STYLE of writing. If you can present yourself as an interesting person by distinguishing yourself from others, then the opportunity is yours.
About me - to be honest, I don't really like to talk much about this because ...you know. Anyway, basically, I didn't get into Oxbridge - well, I didn't apply there though!! I applied to all London top univs (LSE,UCL,KCL) and got offers from all of them though. I will graduate from one of these univs this yr and my second yr grade is equivalent to 2nd class honour in Thailand..it's just average - not that high. I have had 2 internships - one at a well-known international law firm based in the UK, and one at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand. I also have some other work experience in journalism as I've been working as a part-time writers for a few magazines and publishers in Thailand for several yrs. Charitable work helps as well. I've been working as a volunteer at charity shop for 2 years during my school terms. I have also been a committee members of some societies in my univs as well. For the reference part, I just got 2 references - one from my personal tutor, another one from a quite famous professor of international trade law - which I'm going to study. Sounds like an average student right? The most important thing is, my SOP doesn't begin with 'My name is xxxxxx xxxxx' or 'I was born in Bangkok' or 'I have always wanted to study law'. It begins with some sort of questions - which I believe have attracted a lot of attention from the professors who read it. It's a kind of philosophy which applies to real life. Well, I'm not telling you what it is. The thing is - you've gotta make it up by yourself. Ask yourself what kind of person you would prefer to accept as your LLM students if you're a professor at Harvard? Someone with a high GPAX, or someone or someone with brilliant ideas? What that brilliant idea could be depends largely on your inherent imagination.......
