I would suggest sticking to local universities mainly because of money and part A. Most people take Part A twice which is another extra year. As an overseas grad you will be fighting an uphill battle for employment as well. If you can please go SMU JD - it is a better school at the end of the day and therefore there are better opportunities. SUSS... let's just say I haven't heard great things la... just go SMU if you can.
What are the general consensus of SUSS grads?
