It is difficult to outline what one's chances are, as it is relative to the competitive pool every year. Generally, scholarship holders have good academic results (First or Distinction level), and have excellent extra-curricular achievements e.g. publications, national- or international-level prominence in sports, the arts, moot court competitions, etc.

We aim to release decisions around the 1st of April. The process of communication will take place in stages over a few days, so some applicants may receive news slightly later than others.

The wait is killing me.I was told by the graduate division that the results would be out in March.But I guess it will take longer.looks like we are all up against some stiff competition.

sir, i applied your llm programme in financial and corporate law. I just wonder if this programme is more prefered by applicants so that it is much more selective than the other programmes in NUS.
I am now waiting for the result from you~
Thanks a lot

I believe they should be communicated in the first week of April as emphasised by Mr. Tan in his various posts.. but if the offer letters are indeed being mailed right away, we'd better keep our fingers crossed :-)

Mr Tan
I am a law student in India, currently in the penultimate year. I would want to apply later this year for the NYU@NUS program in 2010 and I wanted to enquire if I can apply, and get conditional admission since my results wont be out in October 09 and i'll have another semester to study. Moreover my 7th semester result cant be calculated in aggregate because i missed an exam due to meeting with an accident.
Ive been worried sick about this, so if could let me in on how it works.
Thankyou

Congrats Whistle!

I'm really nervous now that I hear that someone has gotten decisions. By e-mail, correct?

Just out of curiosity, what is the background of the average applicant? I'm only graduating out of undergrad this coming June in the U.S. and I'm wondering if everyone else has a background in law already... I'd feel like I'm behind from everyone else and have to play catch up.

Thanks Shinkirou :) I have gotta e-mail from them. I don't have much of an idea as to what r they looking for. I am completing my undergrad in Law in April. So, mine is a conditional offer which will become unconditional once I send my final transcript to the Graduate Office.
Don't worry. Keep ur fingers crossed and hope 4 da best :)
