difficulty of tax LLM admissions
Hi, I'm thinking about applying to a tax LLM program and want to know my chances at one of the top 10 schools, especially UF, NYU, San Diego, and Georgetown. I graduated with a 3.25, top 20%, from a low tier 1/high tier 2 law school. My tax grades weren't phenomenal (but neither were my tax professors) but my other grades were good to very good. My current job is in business and estate planning, which consists of lots of tax work, and I enjoy it and do well at it. So, my question is, with those factors (decent grades, professional experience), how tough would it be to get into an LLM program? Thanks for your help.

You are in like Flynn at UF (or USD, NW, or BU) solely based on being top 20% at a decent school. I heard UF also loves tax WE. For GT and NYU it is less clear cut. You may as well apply, but you are probably around the borderline for both. chance at GULC a little better because it is lower ranked.

Thanks for the help...I've been having trouble finding clear-cut admissions standards for any of these programs, so I wanted to feel it out before taking the plunge.
