Which program is the best since Georgetown has a smaller program?

R.20,
You seem to have an answer already.
In my view, the reputation of the program would matter to me, no matter the numbers involved. Also note that NYU has over 40 courses to choose from. Effectivey, you could have no more than 60 students per course and in some cases, no more than 30.

Hope that helps!

Thanks, Marungu ! It sure helped. I am still thinking. However, I must remeber that NYU is also the 4th in the US News ranking and Georgetown is the 16th.
Tks, again.

Actually, GT is 14th, not 16th in the overall U.S. News rankings.

I would agree that NYU has the superior program (but I am biased--that's where I am going).

I think the choice also depends on your field of specialization - for instance, NYU excels in tax law and international law (although GULC has a great reputation in both fields), and GULC has a strong curriculum in government-related courses (e.g. national security law, human rights). Other fact to be taken into consideration is your budget (DC is cheaper than NYC) and what do you want to do after the LLM.

I agree with the others in relation to the size of the program: at the end of the day, you will be in a classroom with 50 people (including JDs and LLMs) and you will not take the same courses as the other LLMs. What´s the difference, then? In any case, GULC´s LLM program is not that smaller - it admits 340 students every year.

Btw, I gotta tell that I personally like GULC - it is a very good school in my field of specialization (Tax) and it was my #2 choice.

I participated in one of NYU's admitted student chat sessions recently where we were told that NYU plans to enroll approximately 100 tax LL.M.'s this fall--that's not nearly as many students as I thought they brought in.
