I'm also admitted to Temple. The possibility to spend spring semester in Japan attracts in a special manner, I think thatīs the difference among Temple and other programs.

I received my letter five weeks after I send my application in mid December. First I received an e-mail and then a certified letter through DHL.
Why did you decide to apply to Temple?? Which are your other options??

i will be deciding between temple, villanova, Southern Methodist University and American U (although AU doesnt have a tax program). I am interested in tax - not sure which uni is better for me.

I'm going, though I'm debating whether to go to Tokyo for the entire time or to Philadelphia.

If I intend to study in Japan the whole time (and perhaps Rome for summer), will I need to apply the regular way, that is via the main campus application process?

Most Professors I took course with were very good. If you are interested in the course they are very helpful. Most international students take the pass/fail option so that they dont have to worry about grades and dont seem very interested in interacting with Prof. On the otherhand if you get into the grading race, which means a whole lot of hard work, then you should pick your courses carefully i;e stuff you can handle. In my opinion Indians are better with analytical subjects like tax when competing with JD students.

Job prospects are not very bright, but the story is same no matter where you do your LL.M from.

Be careful as to where you live. The area north of Temple is as good as a slum and very dangerous.
