Graduate Studies at Yale

<p>Hello,
I'm doing a philosophy BA degree in a UK university and am hoping to do a masters degree in the US. However, I would like to switch to either Law or Psychology. To what extent would the fact that I have had no experience in those fields undermine by chances of being accepted in a top uni? </p>

<p>I have also noticed that the Yale School of Music offers a course for performance- which allows open units in philosophy. I am also tempted to apply for this but approximately what standards are expected of applicants?</p>

<p>As far as law school goes, it doesn't matter what your undergraduate degree is in. The US system is different from the British one in that respect; there is no legal specialization as an undergraduate here. Yale</a> Law School | How to Apply</p>

<p>For psychology, any graduate program will expect you either to have majored in the subject or at least to have extensive coursework in psych. Yale</a> Psychology: Brochure</p>

<p>Yale's School of Music is one of the best in the world. You have to send in a recording of your performance and, on the basis of that and your other credentials, they may or may not invite you for an audition: Yale</a> School of Music - Admissions</p>

<p>thanks!
also, based on the things I have mentioned, are there other universities you would recommend me to try for? i simply have no clue where to start looking!</p>

<p>Neither do I. :) You might want to ask your question in the Graduate</a> School or Law</a> School forums.</p>
