So...I think I'll be off to USD for tax in the fall (financial aid willing)

Anyone else on board?

I'm in and still giving it thought... its a good program and has good connections in the area.

Did you get any scholarship offers or anything, Peasefrog? ITE, that's a big factor... Congrats on the acceptance.

Congratulations to you too!

I'm still waiting to hear on scholarship, that's a huge decision-maker...

They called when they let me know my acceptance was in the mail, and they told me the scholarship decisions wouldnt be made till later on, but they would come from their office and there was no further application necessary. (i'm not sure when "later on" is). Have they made you any sort of offer yet?

Are you considering anywhere else? It is a good program, and a lovely place to be.

I applied early in the admissions cycle and got a notice several weeks back. I did get a scholarship offer with the acceptance. I hear they've improved their scholarship resources and increased the number of awards, but that's just what I hear and don't know the reliability of the info.

I'm looking at USD, LLS, and waiting to hear from UF and NYU. USD with scholarship is very appealing in the economy.

Congratulations!

Yeah we all know NYU and UF are the "best," but this economy makes scholarships especially convincing "carrots." And USD's tax program is very good...I did my JD there and took a lot of their tax classes concurrently, and I was very impressed.

Can I ask what your stats were? If you don't want to share, no worries...I just kinda want to know where I stand scholarship-wise. I suppose it doesn't really matter, they will offer or they won't, and each candidate is different...but curiosity forces me to ask. Pesky curiosity.

Does anyone know how large the Tax LL.M. class will be?
