LLM Real Property
Mon Jul 11, 2005 06:44 AM
Does anyone know of any LLM programs in Real Property/Real Estate in the USA aside from the University of Miami (including perhaps a General LLM that could be custom tailored to Real Property/Real Estate)? Thanks much.

Can anyone give me a general idea of how competitive the admissions process is to the University of Miami?

It's competitive. 20 spots and 200+ applicants each year. Apply early unless you are a top 10 honors grad.

There are a total of 4 programs in the US and they vary in concentration. John Marshall is the oldest and I beleieve that Univ of Miami is next in line. Pace University School of Law offers an LLM in Real Estate and recently, New York Law School created a program, which commences in Spring, 2009.

Its best to call someone within the program to inquire about the differences - some focus on the development aspect, others on policy and yet others will focus on real estate finance. No two programs are the same, so it may be worth your while to speak to faculty, admissions department or even take a visit and speak to the alumni to get a better understanding of where each program will take you.

Competition wise, they are relatively competitive. I have found that my real estate experience has made me a viable candidate compared to those candidates without experience. It is comparable to the competition for admissions into a MBA program - students with work experience may be preferred whereas students out of school may be less attractive. Nevertheless, speak to the Admissions Adminstrator; they have a plethora of information that may not normally be available online or within brochures. Good luck!
