Hi everyone,

I've just created a Group in Facebook intended for GULC's LLMers, Class of 2009, I guess this shall become a very nice may to start meeting one to each other and sharing our opinions.

Great! There's also a group at lawyrs.net (Georgetown LLM Class of 2009) with 48 people so far: http://www.lawyrs.net/llmguide/25/

jmromero, I just read your post there so you already found it...

Complete 3/28, decision 4/15 (still waiting on the mail)

raderoot: keep checking your e-mail; I got an e-mail a day before the welcome package arrived in the mail!

Is anyone worried about the economy and job prospects? I want more than anything to get my LLM in Tax from GULC, but I don't know what I'm going to do if I take out another 60K in loans and no job.

I feel the same way! G-town is roughly $63K for one year! And, I'm already more than $100K in debt just from law school! I don't know if an LLM is worth it now. :(

I received my tax llm acceptance package a few days before I got my e-mail.

how long before you got the email/ mail?

I got the e-mail a few days after I got the letter. But, I applied early decision so I received my decision in December about 2 weeks after I went complete.

About the economy, am I worried? Yes and no (sorry I was an econ major and for the life of me I can never give a strait answer)
Yes: In the early 90's Japan went through a very similar housing/ credit/ banking crisis that destroyed the economy and put Japan into a 15 year period of stagnation. They have yet to fully recover. Likewise, in the past few months several major financial institutions have gone bankrupt (do a google search), the stock market dropped 2000 points....
On: On the other hand, the American economy has an awesome ability to overcome hardship, remember 9/11 and the accounting issues of a few years ago. Also, so much of the economy is fueled by intangible ideas of "optimism"; that being said, I believe there will be a great deal of optimism when the new president gets sworn in January. Just in time for all of us to get hired. (What ever your political opinions are, there is a general sense that Bush has screwed up the economy and everything else he has touched, and the new president McCain or Obama will have a powerful impact)

rejected about 5 minutes ago (nice thin letter)

Add that to NYU and NW, just waiting of the rej from UF
