My acceptance packet said that the site wouldn't be up and running for us until March.

Does it imply that applicants who have not received the admitted package are out?
Which field do the admitted applicants major in? General study or other?
By the way, congratulation to all admitted to NYU.

Just to reiterate my earlier post:

What kind of deadlines have they set for (1) accepting their admissions offer and (2) any scholarships they have given out?

I am currently out of town and unable to check my mail. Although I'm not an optomistic person, I just want to make sure the school has given sufficient time to respond in case a letter is sitting in my mailbox.

Much appreciated.

I go my acceptance from NYU about two weeks ago and they told me I have until May 1 to accept. So you should have plenty of time.

The deadline for acceptance is March 9th!!!!
Also, they have stated that the admitted students website will be active from Mid March.

Just to clarify my letter is dated Feb 26th (some else on this post had theirs dated Feb 21st) - I am not sure what to make of this, but it is possible that they are sending letters in batches.

All the best to everyone waiting.

NIrvana! Many congratulations on the Hauser! That is awesome! Can you tell us a little bit about your background! Where are you from? Very curious as the Hauser is a dream to many people... including myself.

Regards

Admissions offers need to be accepted by May 1.
The scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
And the packets were sent by mail [no emails]

Just to reiterate my earlier post:

FYI: Having questioned some of the business lawyers in leading firms in France (having done an LLM themselves, or recruiting LLM students in NY jobfairs), it appears that they do not make a distinction between LLM students from CLS and those from NYU at all. To them, CLS used to be better than NYU, but it's no longer the case today. So under the conditions offered to me by NYU (Vanderbilt + research associate position), I should not hesitate.

Amyonland, I'am waiting too...
There is a rush of admission letters from NY and CLS ) But I still have none, nor good, nor bad...
Although, "the chase is better than the catch" probably... )))

Good luck to everyone, nerves of steel ))

Hi,Aleixei, It is really a hard time!
I did not apply cls, because it requires work experience, but I have none.
I had been accepted by Cardozo and U of Washington(settle), and do not know how to make my decision between them. If NYU admits me, it would not be a problem any more!

Yes, amyonland, I have 3 and a half years of experience in legal consulting and litigation and I applied to CLS.
Unfortunately, I can't help you to make decision between those U. I know nothing about them... )

My advice is apparent - examine it all precisely, different sources. For instance, try some prominent US law firms... search for the graduates of those Universities. As well, it's worth finding out carrier opportunities, job fairs and publications... everything you could find is helpful.
Anyway, I am sure you already know it all.

Good luck to you )
Alexei.

Hey matcauthon,

how could you apply in the last few days? Deadline for NYU was Dec 1, no? I applied Dec.1, received complete notification mid-Dec. and havent received any mail yet - my friend got the complete notification much later and received a letter yesterday, so I dont think that people who applied earlier find out earlier...

Figaro, I have no answer as well...
But I guess we still have chances as we never know what is happening at the admissions committee at the moment.
Not only how they choose, but how they mail admission packages?
I consider it's not possible to mail 450 (as for NY) at once or even in two days. May be partially... first part is gone.
We can only guess now, but as long as we have no rejections, we still have chances,
decreasing day by day...(

Let's keep in touch.

I think so too. Maybe they sent out their first batch and will send out the second one soon. However, chances of getting a scholarhip is low i guess but other than that, being admitted is still very possible - personally, i dont know anybody who got rejected by NYU...

Yes, figaro, the only thing that encourages now is the abscence of rejections.
