http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242 en NYU Admission Decisions ? - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37242 I have applied for LLM at NYU along witH NYU@NUS by early review. Though the website states that the decisions for NYU@NUS will be communicated by December, but it is silent on when the decisions for NYU (at NY City) will be made? Since the form was common for both the programs.,...I am just confused on the admission decision time lines ? Any clue...... Thanks. Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37296 I'm not familiar with early review for NYU. They say that for NYU@NUS it will be on a rolling basis, and for NYU itself the deadline was December 1st and decisions will be made in March. Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37571 Anyone who already got an admissions decision? My application became "complete" one month ago but then no progress. Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37617 hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had noticed some change on their online application account ? When you enter your account, and click on attachments, toefl and transcripts have been uploaded by Nyu about three weeks after it was received. I downloaded the transcrptis they have scanned : my grades are circled. Has anyone the same ? Any idea what it means ? THX Charlotte Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37621 Interesting discovery Charlotte. I had submitted my transcripts over 3 weeks ago but they havent been scanned as well. Whatever may be the outcome, there is now no doubt as to how important your grades can turn out to be for admission in a great university. Mon, 17 Dec 2007 14:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37637 my application is complete but my transcripts and stuff is not scanned....... i think in coming 10 days they will start revealing the results... hafiz Mon, 17 Dec 2007 14:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37639 My situation is the same as hafiz's... Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37822 hi... it's nearly 8pm in France, it seems like today is not D day ???? What do you think guys ??? Charlotte Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37823 I am sure December mornings in France will be rather cool but doubt if it is going to be D day. Good Luck. Keep us updated. Fri, 21 Dec 2007 20:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37824 Really late here in India, almost hals\f past 1 in the night. Apologies for reading 8 'am'. I am sure the french evenings are cool as well. Either ways, we might have to wait until Feb-March. Sat, 22 Dec 2007 00:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37829 yeah it's cold in Paris... I doubt we ll have to wait that long for NYU@NUS...may be some more weeks but not that much I think as decisions were received on december 22nd last year.... so, if anyone get a decision, keep us uptated !!!?? THX Charlotte Mon, 24 Dec 2007 14:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37895 Guys i have noticed that they have uploaded my transcripts and Toefl result in the attachment section and they have underlined some important stuff like my grades in internationla subjects as i am intersted in Int. Law...........plz update us if any one received an admission for NUS........ Mon, 24 Dec 2007 16:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37899 I checked the website and my transcripts/toefl stuff has not been uploaded :( i applied rather late. does that make a difference? Tue, 25 Dec 2007 03:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37913 i think they process applications for people whose first preference is NUS and/or second one is NUS so i think this is the story....... good luck all Tue, 25 Dec 2007 03:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#37915 guyz check out also NYU@NUS posts too because admissions for NYU@NUS startted to appear like last year........http://www.llm-guide.com/board/32714/last/#last Fri, 28 Dec 2007 11:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38033 well i got accepted to NYU@NUS and received my metter a few days ago...but they say i have to reply with a "yes" or a "no" by 11th jan...which is a real problem, because none of the scholarships/loans will be decidedly available by then! Wed, 09 Jan 2008 07:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38394 Hi guys I got admission at NYU and at NYU@NUS.......the second batch decisions are out........so if u want to know just go this link........and follow the instruction............its.law.nyu.edu/admitted/login/login.cfm?dest=/adm… good luck to u all...... Thu, 10 Jan 2008 01:55:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38433 Hi Hafiz, Do you mean that NYU decisions (for the NY program) have been made?? Or you are talking only about NYU@NUS. Thanks! Thu, 10 Jan 2008 06:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38439 the thing is i applied for both programs.....so they have given me a choice to choose between singapore and NYC......but ppl who applied only for NYC....will b informed i think in the end of march........good luck Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38444 Hi guys! I believe that is what they do. If u applied borth to NYU@NUS and NYU NYC options, then you get decision early, cause the NYU @NUS class should be filled by March already. If you picked up just NYU NYC, you have to wait until March. As far as I know, the asmissions office really struggle with the load right now and trying hard to figure out NYU @NUS decisions. What is the general turn out of the NYU@NUS scholarship offers? Did anyone get Singapura Scholarship or just 35 000 K like last year? Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38452 I received an offer of 20K yesterday. Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38633 I got an offer of the Dean's Award -35 K today Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38650 hey Maria....congratulations.........i have an offer of 20k......where r u from?? r u gonna join it or not? Hafiz Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38687 Hey Hafiz! Tnx! Yes, i will take the offer. I am Russian. What about u? Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38698 Did anyone get accepted to the program at NYC? If not, does anyone have a clue when did they start sending acceptance last year for the NYC program? Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38704 A friend of mine who recently studied at NYU in NYC told that almost all applicants received notices in around March, so perhaps we would have to wait for a while as well. Wed, 16 Jan 2008 22:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38724 Got admission for NYU and NYU@NUS as well. Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38746 Congrats to all of you who have been accepted! Have all of you chosen NYU@NUS as first priority or are they also sending out admissions to people who applied for NYU in NY City as first and NYU@NUS as second choice? Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38749 they send offer letters for all ppl who applied for NYU@NUS as a first or second preference.... Thu, 17 Jan 2008 20:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#38778 Hafiz is right. Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39199 Hello, A friend of mine and i have received acceptance letters from NYU tax LLM in NYC on the 22nd of January. His application was completed in October and mine was completed two weeks before i received the letter. This is sort of ridiculous, but its been 15 weeks since my application for Florida was completed, and i go there!! The process is supposed to take 4-6 weeks...if anyone has heard back from Florida, let me know! Has anyone else heard back from NYU tax? Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39253 Hello, A friend of mine and i have received acceptance letters from NYU tax LLM in NYC on the 22nd of January.

This is sort of ridiculous, but its been 15 weeks since my application for Florida was completed, and i go there!! The process is supposed to take 4-6 weeks...if anyone has heard back from Florida, let me know! Has anyone else heard back from NYU tax? Hey Ra. Do you mind telling me what your stats were? I'm a 3L at FSU, and I've applied for the International Legal Studies LLM program at NYU. However, I haven't received any type of notification or correspondence from NYU since I went complete back in November. I'm in the top 15% of my class and an editor on a journal. I've got a decent amount of legal experience for a law student, and some good pre-lawschool real world experience. I know tax and international law are two different areas but I have to figure that the admissions criteria is probably the same for domestic students who go to similarly ranked schools. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. Tue, 29 Jan 2008 06:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39269 Anyone know how difficult it is to get into NYU's Trade Regulation LL.M program? Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39280 Any idea when NYU comes out with its results? Tue, 29 Jan 2008 21:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39309 ra, Congrats! How does the NYU notify, thru e-mail or regular mail? Thanks! Tue, 29 Jan 2008 23:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39313 ra, Congrats! How does the NYU notify, thru e-mail or regular mail? Thanks! Thanks RG! NYU notified me through regular mail.

Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. Jballer, my stats are: top 20%, journal, summer clerk for a FL circuit judge, research assistant, master in economics, no non-law work experience. But i'm not sure if that comparison will help you much because i'm sure the only reason why they took me was because i never got anything lower than a B+ in the 6 tax law courses i took (with other LLM students) at a school consistently ranked #2 for its tax LLM. In fact, i'm going to pay that seat deposit ASAP in case they made a mistake. Thu, 31 Jan 2008 03:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39404 While Columbia seems to have started delivering decisions, any news about NYU (NYC)? Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39428 Anyone know how difficult it is to get into NYU's Trade Regulation LL.M program? IIRC, the Admission Office stated during NYU's online information session that approx. 30-35 students are accepted each year for this program. Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39441 Hi, everyone. I would like to know, from those ones admitted to NYU, what are your academic grades? Cuz I want to apply to NYU (Fall - 2009) but my grades are like B (I'm brazilian and grades here are different from the US) and I'd like to know if I'll have to increase my grades or a B student is applicable to NYU. Thank you for your help. xoxo Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#39732 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40126 No one who recieved an admissions decision from NYU(NYC) yet?

I've heard it's hard, because an NYU LLM won't remove the taint of your tier 2 (Florida) JD. I'm in a very similar boat as you (without the masters though) and I'm wondering if I'm just wasting more money on a degree which won't get me a good job. Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40145 hi i sent my NYU(NYC) application on 21st november.since then i havent even heard application received or application complete notification.has anybody received offer from NYU.Also how can we check the application status. Gudluck to all Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40191 usually they send an email for the completion of application.....if u have not received any email u should contact them immediately by phone or email as it is a serious thing...... Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40212 Don't be too impressed with your "luck." Most NYU LLM ppl are like you. Do you expect to get a biglaw job out of this?

I'm in a very similar boat as you (without the masters though) and I'm wondering if I'm just wasting more money on a degree which won't get me a good job. From my friends experiences in the Florida LLM (I don’t know anyone at NYU), I will agree with you and say that regardless of where you go for your LLM, you carry a “taint” with you if you went to a lower tiered school. I’ve known about 12 Florida LLM’s, and all but two of them went to tier 1 schools. One went to a tier 2 school, and another went to a tier 3 school. Both of them found jobs in firms that are composed of less than 25 lawyers, but the firms are well known (within FL at least) boutique estate tax firms in South Florida. They tried to find mid-large sized firms, but were unable to get interviews at the large firms. I think that if you want to practice tax, you should go to the best LLM you can get into, otherwise your only crutch is a tier 2 JD, and no tax firm is going to take you seriously. My remaining friends all went to biglaw firms (including 3 Florida JD’s), primarily in the South and D.C. To answer your question, before even beginning the program, NYU has already helped me get 2 interviews with big law firms with offices in Miami, but I’m not in the same position as you. Florida is a tier 1 school, even after the temporary 6 spot drop caused by a temporary bulge in students that resulted from a restructuring of incoming classes (http://www.law.ufl.edu/deansmessages/pdf/usnews_%20ranking_031407.pdf). good luck in your decision, and congrats on NYU Thu, 14 Feb 2008 01:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40248 Jballer, my stats are: top 20%, journal, summer clerk for a FL circuit judge, research assistant, master in economics, no non-law work experience.

You must have posted on the wrong board. Autoadmit.com. is another website. Thu, 14 Feb 2008 11:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40274 has anyone who did not also apply für NYU@NUS received an admission decision for NYU yet? I am getting little nervous since the deadline to accept admission to CLS is getting closer and closer.

That's very interesting and seems to prove NYU's value. P.S. I got to a school like yours (when I say tier 2 I mean real tier 2, like everything outside T14 + the few other national schools like Vandy or USC.) My concern is that if I go to NYU, and don't get a good job, it will be a huge waste of money. NY is expensive, not to mention the lost opportunity cost. I'm wondering if I should just take a job at a small firm now and forget about starting off at a high paying firm. Thu, 21 Feb 2008 01:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/37242/last#40687 Congrats on your acceptance though. Hurry up and pay before they realize their error. I thought you mind find this helpful in deciding whether to go. look at the second post. http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8353/
