Jballer, my stats are: top 20%, journal, summer clerk for a FL circuit judge, research assistant, master in economics, no non-law work experience. But i'm not sure if that comparison will help you much because i'm sure the only reason why they took me was because i never got anything lower than a B+ in the 6 tax law courses i took (with other LLM students) at a school consistently ranked #2 for its tax LLM. In fact, i'm going to pay that seat deposit ASAP in case they made a mistake.
Don't be too impressed with your "luck." Most NYU LLM ppl are like you. Do you expect to get a biglaw job out of this? I've heard it's hard, because an NYU LLM won't remove the taint of your tier 2 (Florida) JD. I'm in a very similar boat as you (without the masters though) and I'm wondering if I'm just wasting more money on a degree which won't get me a good job.

From my friends experiences in the Florida LLM (I dont know anyone at NYU), I will agree with you and say that regardless of where you go for your LLM, you carry a taint with you if you went to a lower tiered school. Ive known about 12 Florida LLMs, and all but two of them went to tier 1 schools. One went to a tier 2 school, and another went to a tier 3 school. Both of them found jobs in firms that are composed of less than 25 lawyers, but the firms are well known (within FL at least) boutique estate tax firms in South Florida. They tried to find mid-large sized firms, but were unable to get interviews at the large firms. I think that if you want to practice tax, you should go to the best LLM you can get into, otherwise your only crutch is a tier 2 JD, and no tax firm is going to take you seriously. My remaining friends all went to biglaw firms (including 3 Florida JDs), primarily in the South and D.C. To answer your question, before even beginning the program, NYU has already helped me get 2 interviews with big law firms with offices in Miami, but Im not in the same position as you. Florida is a tier 1 school, even after the temporary 6 spot drop caused by a temporary bulge in students that resulted from a restructuring of incoming classes (http://www.law.ufl.edu/deansmessages/pdf/usnews_%20ranking_031407.pdf).
good luck in your decision, and congrats on NYU

You a little angry?
You must have posted on the wrong board. Autoadmit.com. is another website.

has anyone who did not also apply für NYU@NUS received an admission decision for NYU yet? I am getting little nervous since the deadline to accept admission to CLS is getting closer and closer.

So you got interviews at firms, as a 3L, that had rejected you prior to your getting into NYU? That's very interesting and seems to prove NYU's value.
P.S. I got to a school like yours (when I say tier 2 I mean real tier 2, like everything outside T14 + the few other national schools like Vandy or USC.)
My concern is that if I go to NYU, and don't get a good job, it will be a huge waste of money. NY is expensive, not to mention the lost opportunity cost. I'm wondering if I should just take a job at a small firm now and forget about starting off at a high paying firm.
