Hi all,

I’d love to hear your opinion about my chances of being accepted to either NYU or Georgetown’s Tax LLM programs, based on your knowledge and experience.

By the time I would apply I would be a tax lawyer in my home country with 3 years of experience (in 2 of the tier 1 tax law firms in my country). I also would have a bachelors degree in accounting (with good grades)
In addition, I exchanged for a semester at Georgetown Law and got a GPA of 3.93, and it would be likely for me to receive a recommendation letter from a Georgetown tax professor, another professor in my home country and from a partner at my law firm.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on this! This is a very big dream of mine.

Thanks!!

I'm about to graduate in a few days from the Tax program at Georgetown. You have a much stronger profile than I did when I applied (and from what I know, many in my cohort), so I'd say you have a good shot at Georgetown. Can't speak to NYU. I believe they start a smaller cohort each year so the odds may not be as good. Bear in mind that the strength of your application is weighed against other applicants.

Thank you!
I find it very reassuring with everything you said about GU.
I guess with NYU it’s more a matter of luck, but maybe still worth the shot..
Appreciate this!
