In tax- Which should I choose? Both regional? I really like Seattle, but I'm worried about job market and I have no ties there. Miami seems like the job market may be a bit better, but I dont have personal ties there either. I'm also not exactly sure what area of tax I would like to concentrate in. I went to a tier one law school, but my grades (except tax) weren't great (about at 50%, maybe lower). Any advice appreciated- except that I'm screwed anyway because of my JD grades. Thanks

I'll be attending U Miami this year so I'll speak to their program. I didn't consider Washington since I'm from the northeast and would like to be somewhere around this part of the country. Miami has a good reputation for international tax which was one of the reasons I chose it along with the high ranking in US & World News. As for job prospects, I spoke with someone at career services who told me that as a regional school most of their graduates end up practicing in Miami or somewhere in the southeast, but I've also spoke to others who've indicated that it's possible to come back to the northeast although that may require more individual work and effort.
