Dear mnemeth, how can I provide hiring stats for things that I don't know (other schools)? In this regard I just can read all postings provided by this website...

And trust me that I don't want to impress anybody and I'm completly sure that's the name recognition of NYU tax program is far beyond that of Michigan Tax. Futhermore, if you will pay attention to what I have said, I haven't said that the Michigan Tax is more prestigious and/or academicly demanding, for I just don't know and lack of any info or academic knowledge to certify. The only thing I said is that based on hirings stats only, I'm impressed...

So, don't take it personally! :)

No problem. Michigan is also very prestigious as any Top 10 school really, and also in Tax. I hope you don't take it personally either, but hearsay is not hiring stats ;) at least not in the long run... you have no way of knowing in the course of many years how the real hiring stats are.

As a saying goes "there're lies, big lies and statistics...", so I guess we're on the same page... :)
