Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#40524 I'm not sure you care about part-time students, but for what its worth, my application was complete January 10 and I received an acceptance letter dated January 16 from NYU. I'm planning on starting part-time in the fall. Fri, 22 Feb 2008 23:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#40861 The wait is killing me... Fri, 22 Feb 2008 23:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#40862 Not only you, xat ) Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41146 bump... March 1st is 3.5 days away... someone has to hear something soon... Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41166 The wait is killing me... You and me both And I am waiting on 3 schools Ugh Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41425 When I applied last year (late feb) I didn't get the acceptance letter until may. I think some people heard back even later because they prioritize the intl student applications, or in borderline cases wait for spring grades if you're a 3L. However, if you try to log in to the admitted students site, and were recently accepted, you will be able to enter the site before the acceptance letter actually arrives. Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41572 Thanks for the information att333! Waiting until May or later isn't too big of a deal if you are already out in practice, but if you are a 3L...that wait is stressful. How do you plan for a bar exam? Or a job? This fall I turned down an offer from my summer program (mainly b/c I didn't like the ppl I was working with), but I don't want to turn down any offers I recieve in the next month or so! att333...did you apply to Georgetown or UF last year in late feb? If so, how long did it take to hear from them? Thanks for all the info! Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41595 Though I did not apply to NYU, I feel your pain (as I said above) I recently got accepted to NW and am now waiting on GT/UF who have both told me I am on their waiting lists I really, REALLY wish I could get decisions either way as it is tough waiting. I do plan on staying around where my LLM is IF I can get a good job around there so the wait is killing me EVEN MORE Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41607 Hey guys. Some interesting news. I got into G-town and was notified last week (via email) that I got one of their ten Grad Tax Scholar scholarships. This pretty much means I'm going to G-town. The irony is that I still haven't heard a peep from NYU!!! Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41611 thanks for rubbing it in taxrockstar... Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41675 It was never my intention to rub anything in. I honestly thought people would like to know how and when the scholarships came out. That's been an oft-debated topic on other threads and sites. I thought that, plus the irony of having not even heard anything from NYU, would make an informative post. Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41706 i was only joking...no harm done (I forget that tone doesn't post well to internet boards and I am sorry if I sounded harsh.) On another note...any domestics receive rejection letters? Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41714 It was never my intention to rub anything in. I honestly thought people would like to know how and when the scholarships came out. That's been an oft-debated topic on other threads and sites. I thought that, plus the irony of having not even heard anything from NYU, would make an informative post. I didn't think you were rubbing it in ;) I understand some's frustration though in hearing others getting in especially with money....I am one of them Thu, 06 Mar 2008 01:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41759 Hear that. Sat, 08 Mar 2008 07:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#41984 Just NYU. Most 3L's graduate, take the bar exam in July, then start the program afterwards, and get bar results in time for thanksgiving. I'd imagine most employers would extend time to make a decision, and the ones that give you the 1 or 2 week deadlines - well that just tells you what you're going to be if you work for them. I think the majority of NYU tax decisions are out by March - April, especially if you applied early. If I recall, there was a holdup with my recommendation on my file being complete. Thanks for the information att333! Waiting until May or later isn't too big of a deal if you are already out in practice, but if you are a 3L...that wait is stressful. How do you plan for a bar exam? Or a job? This fall I turned down an offer from my summer program (mainly b/c I didn't like the ppl I was working with), but I don't want to turn down any offers I recieve in the next month or so! att333...did you apply to Georgetown or UF last year in late feb?

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44187 Hey guys, I've officially withdrawn my app from NYU and I'm going to G-town. I like to think I preemptively rejected myself. :-) Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44355 It's almost April. I haven't heard anything from NYU. Does it mean my chance is ZERO? Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44486 My friend didn't get into NYU until late April / early May last year. The wait was a killer. Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44690 In, although I can't decide whether to go. I'm around the top 5-6% at a T2, law review editor, non-tax related work expereince and legal experience. I only had one tax grade when I applied, a B in fed income, but I wrote a good cover letter where I explained that I had overextended myself that semester. I just took Corporate tax and expect somewhere I got something between a B+ and an A. My app went complete around March 15th. I was late because I wanted to be sure I liked corp. tax before I applied. I liked tax and I'm interested in tax policy, and would ideally work for IRS, maybe after a tax court clerkship. I think if I went that route first, and later decided I needed to make money, firm doors would probably be open. Any sort of scholarship would probably seal the deal, but I haven't actually gotten the acceptance yet, I just followed the link from this thread and logged in successfully. I'm acting on the assumption that around top 1/3 get big firm jobs, a handful get tax court clerkships, 1/4 go to accounting firms, 1/5 go to IRS, and the rest are unemployed. Obviously, this is unscientific, but it seems fair based on waht I've read. Thu, 03 Apr 2008 05:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44697 I haven't heard anything yet, and my application was complete at the end of January. If I do get into NYU, I'm hoping for a $250 scholarship to cover the cost of the deposit I already paid to Georgetown. Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44857 I went complete around March 15th and STILL have not heard anything. Although, some went complete that same time and have been accepted -- I guess I should be scared now! I'm top 35% at a top 25 school, on law review and have a published article. Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#44864 same here. Got complete on 2/5. I give up. Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#45992 Has anyone heard anything? Or know someone who has been accepted? rejected? Or spoke w/ the admissions office about decisions? Sat, 19 Apr 2008 19:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#46000 The only helpful info I have is that the deposit deadline for people already admitted is May 1st, so I'd expect a second wave of acceptances shortly thereafter if the class isn't full. Fri, 02 May 2008 22:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#46772 It is May 2nd, anyone have an update? Tue, 06 May 2008 19:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#46935 I just got in, I got the letter in the mail yesterday. It was dated April 29. Tue, 06 May 2008 19:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#46936 Congrats Taxnerd! I think I will stalk my mailbox for the rest of the week. Any chance you will share your stats taxnerd? Thu, 08 May 2008 02:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/38962/last#47019 You can also try to log onto the admitted students website....(https://its.law.nyu.edu/admitted/login/login.cfm?dest=/admitted/index.cfm). I'm from a T4 law school, have a 3.4 overall gpa, and a 4.0 in 12 credits of tax classes. Was on law review and also had a great tax-related summer job. Good luck!
