Congrats for your admission!

I have been admitted at UF and GT, and I'm still waiting for decion from NYU. So I don't know what i'm gonna do (a bit confused for the moment).

Hi all. I have yet to apply but will be completing my applications shortly. For those who were accepted if you don't mind sharing your admissions stats I would appreciate it so I can gauge my chances to be admitted.
Also, in your opinion do you think it is considered late in the admissions cycle already and will this hurt my chances?

Hi!
I am from Argentina, where are you from? I am planning to go to Gainsville early during the year to find an appartment (I am working in New York).
I don´t think admission late this year is a problem. I had good recommendation letters, one of them of a previious student of the tax llm in UF.

Tax08, are you a domestic or international applicant. If you are domestic you still have plenty of time to apply.

Hi Avg. I am Brazilian and I am also thinking about going to Gainesville to check some apartments (I am living in San Diego and I will go back to Brazil in one month).

Tax08, I don’t think that is late to apply. I talked to Prof Michael a couple of months ago and he told that apply late doesn’t reduce your chances to get accepted.

Definitely have plenty of time to apply. The majority of applicants here are international students who have earlier deadlines and have a more difficult application process logistically. For the domestic students the application deadline is not until april I believe and to be honest I have heard that schools dont even really begin to review domestic applications until right about now (unless you applied early decision).

Just from personal experience I applied to GT and NYU and my applications became complete in mid-february. I got acceptance to GT in about 3-4 weeks while NYU took until early may to accept me.

Congratulations everybody for your admissions! I am an Italian tax practitioner, and I am seriosly evaluating UF International Taxation LLM (or Leiden Adv. LLM in International Taxation). Would you please tell me how much do you think does UF program deal with only US international tax law and how much with tax treaties, or general international tax law? In other words, do you think is it a good program for an European practitioner (of course I have a strong interest also in US international taxation rules). Do you think it is possible to find a job (e.g., 2-year period) in a US big-4 or big law?

Thank you so much!

Hi guys, especially those of you who are lucky to have been admitted to International Tax Programs either at UFL or NYU, kindly accept to drop me a personal mail since i am interested in joining any of the two schools during the 2009/2010 accademic year and i trust that being insiders, you will be in a position to give me an uptodate information on the cost, processes and internal standards.
i am a tax administrator from east africa. my email address is davidmigai@yahoo.com

Hi Every body. Finally I was admitted last week (I applied on December). I am from Chile and I think it would be very helpful to be in contact by e mail.

Does anyone know if UF sends confirmation when your application becomes complete like NYU and GT does? Thanks.

UF is a public unviersity so they aren't quite as efficient as the private schools.

To check on your application contact Trudy Reid @ 352/273-0680 or Reid@law.ufl.edu

She is the Graduate Tax Admissions Officer and she is really helpful -- she assisted both my boyfriend and I with our applications.
