Hi guys. Just got the 'application complete' email. Is it ok that it took them around 22 days to send it out?

It seems so, it was around the same for me since the moment I went complete.

I think your applications were submitted on a period when they were really busy 'coz mine didn't take that long... Well now comes the worst part: waiting! good luck to us!

does a good reco really help for nyu?

They say that it does, but who knows..

True..I wouldn't be able to determine the weight of a 'reco' on the admissions decision process either. But still, I believe any admissions process considers your application as whole. I mean, in order to make a successful program the students need to be professionally successful in their desired fields, have good exposure, etc.. That can happen if you are bright, smart and intelligent, but it also helps to be well connected and have a great network. In that sense, reco's are an important and helpful endorsement. How much does it help on the NYU process? I wouldn't be able to tell you...but I think the more proeminent are the recommenders, the best in any case (as long as they really know you and your professional or academic work).

Another week waiting. Has anyone heard from the tax program?

I agree! They give us so little space to talk about ourselves...

Thank you

Decisions for the domestic tax program have definitely begun going out.

seriously? Did you apply?

The decision is released as a link in an email message going to your NYU online application account. Link is towards bottom of first screen. You download a pdf whose password is your app id #.

Good luck everyone!

Moreover! One shouldn't forget the fact that an NYU LL.M. application only make space for a very short personal statement. This is, IMO, an element that puts more weight on other elements, such as reco's
