Hi everyone!
I have doubts! I was admitted to NYU and Georgetown University LL.M. Programs. Regarding NYU I was admitted to the LL.M. International Taxation Program, while at GULC I was admitted to both General Studies and International Legal Studies LL.M. Program.
I am from Brazil and until now I don't have any kind of scholarship.
Which of the programs you think should I take? NYU or GULC? It seems to me that GULC has more attractives to international students, including chances of obtain a job in USA or even abroad. However, the International Taxation Program of NYU it's very well-known. What do you think?

Hi,

A lot of people think the NYU placement office is great and it might be easier to get a job if you go to NYU instead of GULC.

Hope this helps.

I thought that one's a no-brainer... NYU is a clear winner there in my opinion-- the Tax Prog is one of NYU's strengths... Well if tax is yr area: go for NYU if would say

In fact if i'm not mistaken tax graduates have a sep. job fair or something in NY... u could do a bit of research on that

NYU

Thank you all for the responses! Considering that I am dealing with tax since I was an intern and considering your answers, I think that NYU ITP is really the best option to my profile.
I am still waiting answer from Columbia and Harvard, but none of those have a so recognized tax program as NYU, right?
My impression about GULC be more attractive to international students is the fact that I have some friends that went GULC were able to find a job USA after LLM. In relation to NYU, I have two friends that didn't get any job there....maybe this is just a coincidence..
Master of Laws, thank you for your tip regarding a separate job fair to tax graduate students. I'll look for more information on this.
Regards to all!

I think if you want to specialize in taxation, NYU is a better option (specially taking into account that you were admitted to GULC´s General Studies program). Regarding the ITP, I am current student and I can tell you that the tax LLMs at NYU have the following NYU-sponsored opportunities to land jobs in the US: fall on-campus interviews (October), International Students job fair (January), Spring on-campus interviews (February) and DC Tax LLM job fair (February). In addition, you can also find a job by your own means. Regarding your real chances to find a job, I can tell you that it will depend a lot on your LLM grades and your job connections in Brazil. If you have top grades, you may find a permanent position in NY; if you don´t have top grades (but decent ones) and good contacts in your country (i.e. you worked for a big firm) you will be able to land a temporary position (1 year); if you have decent grades and you want to stay in the US for a longer period after the completion of the LLM, Big 4s may be your best option. For the time being, my fellow ITPs are doing well in the job search.
