<blockquote>hey,
was wondering about the class of LLM students in NYU, is it really 450 people??? how does it work with so many students and is there a chance you can even once talk to a professor??? for example, if I had an offer for a research associate position????

thanks for your ideas.</blockquote>

Hello Masha. I was accepted to both programs, and will probably go to CLS because my wife will be studying there for another degree. I think the class size doesn't matter because in the chats that NYU did, it was explained that actual class size varies and there are many very small classes. You never meet the entire group. If you go to the link the user below you suggested, you will see that other users are explaining this too. If you remove the american students and the tax students, the numbers are almost identical with some other top tier level programs, and the "maximum number of students in the program" is something which is unrelated. If you read that thread which I just did you'd see people are very much divided about NYU or CLS so beware of disinformation and interested users who might seem too aggressive in defending a particular institution (CLS) like this user was in this thread (and from history if you click on him). I am still not sure if I made the right choice myself.
