Sorry guys, I repeat for the third and last time, is there anyone among you who has been admitted to LLM Intl Tax?
Thank you!!

Any news about the Grotius Scholarship?? Someone knows to what degree do they usually provide financial aid???

Guys! Has anyone of the admitted batch received the actual admission package with all the "colourful stuff" or any news on financial aid???

Best of lucks to those still waiting for an answer.

Nope, haven't received it yet. But then airmail does tend to take its time, and the Admissions Office people said that the materials still had to be finalised when they sent the offer letter via email on Feb 6.

I contacted Admissions, and they said financial aid decisions will be communicated in the second half of March.

Anyone has received the information materials sent by airmail??

Rest assured, there is indeed a lot of colourful stuff in there; and you will end up falling in love with the place!

On another note, yesterday I received an email regarding "consumer information about the University of Michigan". Did anyone else get this email?

Guys, what do you expect of life in Ann Arbor? Did you choose Michigan because it was a small program?

I love the passion that everybody who study at Michigan has for the place. Also, I have no doubts that that Michigan has probably a strong reputation in my area of interest. I will wait for the colorful stuff. I have done my research on the campus and it is beautiful and the lawyers club also seems a fantastic place to live. On the other hand, one of my main concerns relies on whether being in a huge center is better for networking or not. I want to have a working experience abroad before returning to my homeland.

They usually anounce grotious fellows by mid March ... so I guess they will tell you really soon! and they are usually really generous. Worth the wait! (I got it last year)

Unlike almost all Law Schools, Michigan is invited to a really exclusive job fair in NY, (Columbia LLM fair) in which only Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Virginia, Chicago, Stanford, and Michigan can participate, so your chances are better, and the networking you will do it with the JDs, and professors which will be really helpful in that area.

Thank you! The information about the job fair really makes me think a lot. It seems that Michigan isn't as isolated as many of the people think. I would also love to know the perspectives of getting a work in New York if you are located in Ann Arbor.

I already received the mail with the "colorful stuff" and I am super excited. Still no news about the scholarship...

Me too admitted. Intl Tax LLM, is there anyone else?!?
Scholarships offers will be made from now on a rolling basis.
So excited!?!

Got into NYU but no scholarship :( This makes Michigan my first option now. Has anyone received any news about the Grotius? Also, does anyone know how much financial aid does that fellowship provide?

Thanks!

No idea and no information on this matter either (other than that fellowship awards should be made in the second half of March). Since the deadline for accepting my offer is April 1st I also wonder whether I will get a financial decision (negative or positive) in any case before having to respond to the offer. Anybody know how the proces works? Only the recipients are notified?

Thanks for all the useful information, swaziplaza!

I've been accepted to Michigan, Columbia, NYU and UPenn, but I'm really inclined to accept Michigan's offer!

Ann-arbor sounds awesome and the possibility of having an individualized study program - seeing as the class size is so small - is very important to me.

The only thing keeping me from accepting the offer is that I really need financial aid! If I don't get any financial aid, I'll probably accept Cambridge's of Oxford's offer, which are way cheaper.

Makes totally sense to me! UK is so much cheaper. Have you told the admissions office about the other law schools that have already admitted you? This is something they usually consider when they are making the decision. So if you'd say you would choose Michigan over super prestigious law schools like Cambridge and Oxford in case you get funding, that might make a difference. I think. :-)

I e-mailed Dora-Maria last night asking several questions as well as informing about my financial condition.

She usually answers promptly so I'm hoping to hear from her today! According to her last e-mail, financial aid decisions should come out sometime this week. Let's hope for the best!
