If you get something for Georgetown, they will negotiate.

I got a half from Georgetown and initially nothing from NYU that they increased to $10k. Georgetown then went full, which I accepted.

Not OP but did get scholarship offers from both NYU and GULC. Middling student at a T20 for my JD but excellent tax grades. Also, probably more importantly, I had published tax writing (not in a student journal—I didn’t do journal).

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find.

Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?
