NYU c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle) Forum

[feralflamingo]

Checking in! NYU is by far my top choice, been UR1 since 10/30 so I'm getting pretty antsy! URM as well, not sure how that might factor into my decision time. Let's just hope for news in the next week or so.

Also UR1 since 10/30! I'm an international applicant with no GPA so that might also factor in. I have to say, though, that I've seen very few people who went complete after us be admitted. There seem to be one or two 175+/3.9+ who have but they are very much the exception rather than the norm.

UR since 10/20, similar situation international wise

Has anyone applied ED heard back? I was so sure I wanted to go to nyu if going to the states at all, and now I’m worried about the longterm given the recent political landscape.

I have Canadian citizenship. My grandmother is American and all her other kids except for my mom are American too. Long story, but basically. I have no way of getting citizenship other than marriage/the employer sponsor route, but I have an American co-signer for loans, and won’t be paying housing/board bc I’ll be staying with family. Just worried about the longterm, raising a family in USA, etc. Compared to Canada.

Anyone have any thoughts/insight? New York City’s been the dream since I was a kid (I’m there every summer and every Christmas), but I’ve been feeling more and more like Canada’s a better place to live overall, even though the pay is higher in the USA and American law/politics is what I wanted to end up in.

I applied ED. I have not yet heard back.

Sent 11/13. Complete on 11/20. Still UR1.

My numbers are borderline and I probably would have no chance of getting in RD. Of course, YMMV!

Is there any meaning to being UR1 vs. UR2? I know people have mentioned that timing of UR dates do not imply much, but does changing review dates at all make a difference (hopefully, this makes sense)?

This is a pure guess but I imagine they have two reviewers read through your app. Once you get to UR2, usually a decision comes out pretty fast after that. Either because your application sits there for a while before the first reviewer is done reading it. Or they just wait until the end to upload it into the system. Again, I'm just speculating right now.

Hey guys,
I think I made a mistake applying ED to NYU. I did my undergrad in NYUAD and I just love the school and it's been a dream of mine to be in NYU law for the past 6 years, but now I am being told that ED isn't the best in terms of scholarships/financial aid. Did I make a mistake?????

Ahh, thank you, that makes sense! I wasn’t sure if it was just one person who was assigned to a specific app rereading or potentially two different people. Thanks!!

In short, yes. You won't be receiving much or any merit aid from NYU. They still consider you for need-based aid AFAIK.

Checking in. Submitted 11/29, didn't think they ever sent me a Status Checker email, found it in my spam folder this morning. Under review as of 11/30

Ugh... just got a call from Madison Square Garden of all places (I went to one hockey game last year while in town). I don't think the guy on the other end truly understood the disappointment in my voice.
