Hello, I'm interested in doing a LLM program in taxation in a top law school as Georgetown or NYU.
I'm from Spain and i have a degree in law and another degree in business administration and, currently, I'm doing a master in business and taxation law in Spain. I have a 111 in TOEFL IBT. My grades in the law degree are not very special (2,04/4) mainly because I was doing two degrees at the same time. Do I still have chances to get accepted in any of those schools?
Do I have any chances?

Many schools look beyond grades in their admissions, and others are famous for being unpredictable. So, the only way of finding out is by believing in yourself, taking chances and applying to see what happens. The worst that could happen is losing a couple hundred euros in the applications, but that is nothing compared with living with the "what if" on your shoulders. While doing this, it may also be a good idea to apply to a couple lower ranking unis in case, but which are still considered good in the tax area (I'm thinking of UoF, for example). Buena suerte!

Oldtimer is wise. At the end of your life, you'd care more about the "what ifs" than the euros.
