Always go for the best LLM program your grades can get you into as well as the best money can buy. The two factors are not mutually exclusive.

why do you say this tho?

The sad fact is we live in a competitive society.
The creme de la creme of NUS Law (the top 5%) who want to work in international markets use the LLM to add a brand name to their credentials.
It adds pedigree.
The rest of the forum posters here (NUS or not) are so disgruntled because they are not in the top 5% and cannot improve their existing prospects.
If you are indeed a genuine poster, with genuine offers from Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge LLM, go for any of those without hesitation.
They add to your pedigree, period.

its not one of those that you have mentioned, but its one of the top 10 LLM unis, which is why i'm concerned if it's worth it.

Let’s put this conjecture across.
A Oxbridge degree is recognized in Singapore, for instance. It helps you get jobs, etc in Singapore.
Inverse the situation. Does a NUS degree help you to get a job in London or New York City easily? I think you know the answer.
Nothing to do with selection bias. Whoever brought that concept up has comprehension problems.

It was a self proclaimed Harvard grad that said it. What a moron.

How has your prospects changed before and after

I know this is quite a controversial thing to say, but I don’t mean to offend anyone. Just fax.

"This is just selection bias".

When asked to clarify on his/her concept of selection bias as raised, OP from allegedly Harvard posts this. M o e lawn

Yes, agree insofar as it 'adds pedigree'. You already had pedigree, you're just adding to it.
