Hello, guys. My name is Lucas de Lima Carvalho and I graduated from the LLM in International Taxation at NYU in 2013. I know many of you are currently either waiting for an admission letter or waiting for a scholarship, so if you have any questions about the Tax and International Tax courses at NYU, feel free to reach out. You can use this thread or follow me and send a message on LinkedIn.

Thanks. I have a question. I also want to study tax law in Europe. Full time with low tutiin fee. My grades are not too good though. Please advice me

I would advise you to read this text. I wrote it and published it on LinkedIn about two years ago, and it describes the 10 steps required for admission into the LL.M. program of a top Law School in the United States. I believe most of what I cover there can apply to European Law Schools.

Hey, applying for 2019/2020 from Canada. Can I enrol in the Tax LLM or am I only allowed to enrol in the International Tax LLM since I'm from a foreign jurisdiction? As you may be able to tell from the question, I'm hoping to practice in the US (NY) after the program. Thank you!

You should double-check that on the NYU Law website, but I have numerous friends/colleagues from previous years that do not have a U.S. J.D. and enrolled in the Graduate Tax Program (as opposed to the International Tax Program). So you should be fine.

Do you remember around what month were the admissions results out?

Admissions go out on a rolling basis until late March/early April, I believe. Some people have already received admission notices.

Yeah, I was checking the NYU LLM 2019/2020 blog, seems that most of the decisions are for either the general LLMs or Domestic tax. I applied to the International Tax, so far no one has posted about it.

I was also awarded the Fulbright Scholarship, wonder if they have a different process. This is nerve-wracking!!!

Anyway thanks for the info!

Anyone hear anything from the domestic tax LLM?

Hi everyone! I submitted my application for the Executive Tax LLM program a few weeks ago and was wondering if anyone has an estimate of how long it takes to hear back. I would also appreciate any info on admissions criteria (it seems difficult to find regarding LLM programs). I am currently a 3L at a top 10 law school within the top 25% of my class (though my tax grades are all As and A-s). I have a job lined up in a tax group at a NYC firm for the Fall, but they want me to get my LLM part-time, and asked that I do the executive program in case I can't make it to class certain nights. I have two recommendations from tax professors at my school, and I am getting a tax paper published at a T14 school. Are my chances good for admission? Thank you!

Wait, what will happen if you don't get admitted? You wouldn't get the job with the tax group?

Is it possible for me as non-law undergraduate degree to apply for LLM International Tax? It's worth mentioning that I pursued my bachelor degree in accounting, yet I have 3 years experience in the Advance Pricing and Mutual Agreement Team.

I think you'll need a first degree in law such as a JD or LLB to apply. This is what the website says:

A candidate for the degree of Master of Laws (LLM) and Executive Master of Laws (E-LLM) within the Graduate Division at New York University School of Law must hold the first degree in law (JD or LLB) from a law school that is approved by the Section of Legal Education of the American Bar Association or a bachelor of laws degree from a non-US law school approved by its foreign equivalent.
