Hello. I would like to know my chances of getting into the part time program at NYU for an LLM in tax.

Tier 1 school, top 25%. Took individual tax (A-), Corporate tax (A), Tax Policy (A-), and Tax Pro, and Real Estate Tax (grades pending). Some work experience in tax.

Hi there! I saw your postings about working at a Big 4. I'm also interested in working for one...however my undergrad degrees are in Political Science and Psychology. I just received my JD this past May. When I look at the job postings for the Big 4 firms, they are seeking undergrads who majored in Business/Finance/Accounting/etc. - not any standard JD's. I know I have no experience in the financial sector - so do you think it's a longshot to even contact a recruiter to ask if I'd be qualified for an associate position?

Ooops - I meant to address you jln102984!

You can contact them. But you aren't qualified.

Hi, I'm wondering if I would qualify for the tax llm program at University of Denver or SMU. I am top 20% at loyola new orleans, with a 3.8 in tax courses (federal income tax, family tax, partnership tax, legal accounting, tax procedure). Undergrade degree in accounting. Worked at a public accounting firm after undergrad. Interned at Low income taxpayer clinic and clerked for a bankruptcy judge while in law school.

Hey -

You'd be a shoe in at both SMU and Denver... but why waste the cash? You'd also get in at UF.

I am curious about Florida. I am top 26% from tier 3, 3.44 in Tax classes, including highest grade in my state and local class. I have a tax related comment that is going to be published this fall. Managing Editor of a journal, President of the Tax Law Society, research assistant to a tax professor, VITA volunteer, and I have four letters of recommendation from my tax professors.

How about me? Graduated in the top 10% from U Wisconsin Law School in 1992, have 20 years legal and nonprofit work experience, including extensive experience advising nonprofits on tax-exemption issues; but never took a tax class.

I am currently in the SF Bay Area but it looks like neither UC Berkeley or Stanford has a tax program for US residents.

Thanks!

Trying to narrow down applications to keep from unnecessarily spending tons of money on applications. Looking for a little help on this.

-- Tier 3 School
-- 3.2 GPA
-- Top 30%
-- Journal
-- 3.3 GPA in 3 tax classes
-- 2 book awards
-- Moot/Mock experience
-- Judicial clerkship, summer associate at private firm
-- Licensed in TX and TN
-- Currently have 1.5 years work experience as an associate at a mid-size firm (in Nashville) working on small estates, real estate, title work, litigation

What am I looking at here? Worth applying to NYU, GULC, UF, NU?

What is your Bachelors in? Without having a finance/tax/accounting background, I don't think you could persuade the first three LLM programs to accept you. Seeing how you are licensed in TX, Houston has a program that is regionally reputable.

i wonder what my chances in NYU / Gtown tax too.
Tier 2 J.D, about 10%-15%( near top 10% though), 3.688 GPA, Taking Bus Tax now, B in regular income tax, A in all business related class. (M/A, IBT etc)
i received an email from nyu asked for fall grade, sent to the LSAC this past weekend. Anyone heard anything from either school yet?

I was accepted to g-town in December. As for NYU, they also asked to see my Fall transcripts. My school has just mailed them in.

I just got accepted!!!

Sincerely,

3L. Top 35 school, 20%. A- in Fed tax. Editorial board on secondary journal. Worked for 3 different firms so far. Fortune 10 company externship. Business undergrad. Recommendation from a professor who attended NYU LLM.

They didn't ask for fall transcripts. I submitted it anyway because I had gpa 4.1 last semester (A, A, A+).

Just heard this morning. I was surprised because I thought they don't release admission decisions until March.

Good luck!
