Hi

I guess I'll just wait for the UPS package. :) Maybe it's been delayed because of holidays in Delhi.

I checked today but my documents haven't been scanned online. I've sent a email to NYU for clarifications on this aspect. Hopefully I'll get a reply soon.

All the best Priestlaw. You seem to be the first to have received confirmation of admission and a scholarship. Are you based out of New York itself?

Hafiz I've only applied for the NUS preference.

Cheers
Prashant

Hey - congrats to all those who got in, and good luck to everyone else.

I have a situation - I got NYU@NUS offer with 35K Dean's Award. I am also getting Columbia (NY) but no finacial assistance. Total expense for Columbia will be about 65K, which I might be able to scrape together (tough call).
Now my question - NYU@NUS with 16K only additional expense, or spend 4 times that (64K) and go to US for Columbia - how does one view these options, related prospects, etc. Any comment would be welcome.

To Indiangirl

I would first like to congratulate you upon being offered a position at both NYU and Columbia. With regards to the financial situation I would impart the advise of accepting the Dean scholarship from NYU with $16,000 to be paid since $65,000 in loan is not desirable unless there is a job guarantee upon completion of the LLM. Moreover, if you have chosen to study in Singapore, this would give you the opportunity to pick up another language and this will be attractive to employers as they seek individuals who are flexible and adaptable.

Having saod that, if you are concerned with the ranking of NYU in comparison to Columbia it would be a matter purely for you to decide.However, if I were in your position, it would be best to accept NYU@NUS given the degree of experience which it provides and ofcourse the fact that you have been offered a partial scholarship.

Again, congratulations and well done.
