D_D,

Just out of curiosity, when you log into your application form, are your transcripts attached under the "Attachments" section? I read in the previous posts that some of the applicants had their transcripts attached prior to receiving their admission letter. I don't see any attachments on my application page, so I was just wondering... Thanks.

No, they aren't. But I sent my grades through the LSAC.

Can someone confirm me which kind of mail (e.g. fedex, ups, dhl) does NYU use for sending the admissions letter??

Thanks!!!

This is surprising. I know for sure that all students admitted to NYU@NUS had their transcripts uploaded on their online application before they got their acceptance letters. Looks like it works diferently for people applying to NYC.

Out of curiosity- Tannaz- Do you see your transcripts attached to the online application?

Is there anyone who has received acceptance w/o a scholarship? Seems like the ones with the scholarships are hearing first. Good luck all!

I received my NYU offer one hour ago. It was delivered by UPS and the letter was signed on February 22. They are offering me a Dean's Graduate Award (10k).
As NYU scholarships are offered on a first-come first-served basis, does anyone know how much time one has to decide before all the scholarships are gone?

Anybody want to start a Facebook group? Looks like we might have enough :) "NYU LLM Class of 2009" might be appropriate. Or "NYU LLM Thomas Jefferson Class of 2009" if you're feeling pompous ;)

Hi guys,
I wanted to ask those of you who have not received a letter from NYU yet if you are able to log in the admitted students page. Because I am certainly not able and I am feeling worried!
Thanks

Hi all,

I received a letter of admission last night (26 Feb dated 19 Feb) and an offer for the Vanderbilt scholarship (full tuition waiver) and a research associate spot. I had a couple of questions...

1. I see this question came up earlier, and i just wanted to repeat it in case anyone had some insight. How long do we realistically have to accept these first-come-first-serve scholarships? I still want to hear from other universities (Yale and Oxbridge) and about financial aid from Columbia before i make a final decision, but i am worried that i might be throwing away a great opportunity at NYU if i wait too long.

2. Does everybody get the research associate offer or is it selective? I couldn't tell from the letter. I'm just trying to decide if this is an added bonus i should consider when weighing NYU against other schools.

3. I know there are other posts on this, but i thought i might add it here: Columbia or NYU? I want to focus on human rights, constitutional law and legal philosophy. Any advice.

Thanks so much for all the valuable information here, congrats to those who have got in and good luck to those who are still waiting!

Mickeyb,
congratulations!
I don't know about everybody else, but I was offered a Research Associate position as well, although I was offered the Dean's Graduate Award and not the Vanderbilt, Grotius or Hauser. Oh, I applied for the corporate law program.
From what I could get from the letter, everyone receiving the Dean's Graduate Award will be offered a Research Associate position, and thus, I presume those receiving better scholarships (Vanderbilt, Hauser, etc) will be offered Research Associate positions as well.
I also would really like to know how long we may take in making up our minds before we lose the award... Does anyone have an idea?

Hafiz,
they've established May 1, 2008 as my deadline. However, this is the deadline for the offer itself, and not the scholarship. The scholarship may vanish sooner than that (because of the first-come, first-served policy), but they will still accept me by May 1 without the award.
Good luck for y'all!

No news from NYU yet :-(
I guess my chances of getting a scholarship are getting slimmer since apparently many people here have already received scholarships. Nevertheless, congrats to those receiving one, that's a great accomplishment! Just a small question out of curiosity (and because I'm clutching at straws ;-) ), are any you that have received scholarships/admission from Europe?

@jw: Yes, I'm a European; was offered and have accepted the Hauser. Good luck to all of you. Looking forward to meeting you in August!
