Hi all, what whould you choose between Chicago and NYU?

I know that Chicago is a small LLM (50 pers) which is in my view an advantage. In student quality ranking, it's as good as Stanford or Harvard, same for cleckships, etc... And NYU is far too big (450 LLM students)...

But on the other hand, NYU is better ranked on US News, and is closer to NY firms.

Your opinion?

what are your academic interests? what do you want to do after your llm?

if you give me more details, i can be more helpful to you.

well, I think that if I tell you that I'm specialized in corporate law, that I would like to pass the NY Bar, to work in a NY firm for a year before coming back to France, etc., you would say that NYU is better?

Chicago. Both schools have impressive curriculum & faculty, but Chicago is far more selective. That reflects on the school perception and also on the education quality (better class). My interests are very NYU oriented, but still I would go for Chicago if had your choice. With the NY firms -- I have no clue if geography really matters. There are so many factors to consider. Take Chicago.
