Overseas student's chances

<p>Hello everyone, I'm a student from New Zealand and I want to ask you knowledgable folks a few questions for overseas students like me who would like to do LL.M in Harvard. I currently posses an Arts Degree and I'm currently doing my LL.B in New Zealand.</p>

<p>1) Does it matter which university you are coming from in NZ? Do the rankings matter?</p>

<p>2) If I graduate from law school in a not so highly ranked university, would that be a disadvantage even though my GPA is very high?</p>

<p>3) Would I have to out muscle my CV? e.g. are they interested in you playing the Piano, having published a book ,sold a screenplay, an officer in the Navy or having interned with Judges and Queens Counsel? </p>

<p>4) What are the areas I would need to strengthen in order for them to have a slight grin of approbation?</p>

<p>Thank you,
PoloS.</p>
