[QUOTE=harrow;71916]The chances of me getting into NUS law is slim (only 250 seats or so per year), but if I do get in, and if I do pass with a 2:2 (you need a 2:2 to practise), I will graduate in 3 years (graduate entry). SMU's JD is probably easier to enter but it costs 70k.
The starting salary for lawyers in SG is 5-6k. So being a lawyer in Singapore is not a bad career. It can rise to 10k after a few years. I know, I have a few lawyer friends.
Studying overseas for a law degree is quite pointless as you cannot practise in Singapore (unless you study in one of the allowed universities and are lucky enough to get a training contact (currently in short supply)). The main point of being a lawyer is to rake in some money. Personally, I will enjoy being a lawyer as it suits me.
Do you know in order to get something in life,you have to sacrifice something else? - 20 year old teenager :P
You say NUS slim coz limited seats okay that's understandable but you say smu can't enter law coz 70k? Wtf you're making 70k your excuse when you can actually get into the program and attain a law degree increase your job prospects,status,salary,profession and you can't achieve all this is because 70k is ur problem ? Take loan and study la or just say you aren't confident you will be successful in this field.
