NYU Transfers Forum

candytex · Post by **candytex** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:47 am

I am not sure if there is already a thread for 1Ls who are applying to NYU as transfer students, but I did not see one so I decided to start my own.

I am currently ranked in the top 2% (3.912 GPA) at a school in the 60s. I was accepted EA at Georgetown, but I would prefer to finish up law school in NYC. Has anyone on this forum transferred to NYU? What are my chances?

Who else is applying out there?

Has anyone received a status checker?

Did you guys send in your application before you got second semester grades back? Am I making a mistake by waiting to get all my grades in?

To those who asked: I spoke to a rep at NYU last week and they said that they have not begun looking at applications and they expect to put up a status checker within the next few days or so.

I am just an applicant, but from reading these threads it seems that if you are at BLS your chances should be good

I am at BLS... where are you getting this information?

General question for anyone who may know answer... when does NYU typically notify applicants of their acceptance?

BLS top 6% with CALI Award, what are my chances of getting into NYU?

HappyTransfer2012 · Post by **HappyTransfer2012** » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:52 pm

Applying NYU as well... Top 10% at T50, Law Review, Ivy Undergrad... Do I even have a shot? I have to get home to NYC asap...

Some questions for y'all -- How many transfers does NYU generally take? Why do they not even require PS or LOR? Is it all about grades? Rank?

As for status check, I called and asked - they said these would be sent out in the next week.

just got tracker

TFR · Post by **TFR** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 3:55 pm

Tracker here too.... Says application being processed... Mine should be complete for over a week already. Does anyone know how long it takes to process applications by NYU?

candytex · Post by **candytex** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:06 pm

i asked this before but just to ask again, when does NYU start releasing admissions decisions for transfer students?

I was looking through last year's thread, and there was one decision released around 7/8 or so, and the next ones were after 7/15 if I remember correctly... I think the 7/8 decision was top 5% at a T30

Is anyone's status checker reflecting all materials that should be in? Did anyone get past the "application processing" stage?

luckyjd · Post by **luckyjd** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 2:59 pm

they told me they're still processing materials. my dean's certificate only showed up as processed today. still waiting on transcript to be processed though.

Same here on the transcript, they have it for 2 weeks, so I was wondering if/when I should resend another one...

luckyjd · Post by **luckyjd** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:05 pm

yeah, dean's cert was probably sent out at least 3 weeks ago, before i even submitted my app haha. so i was surprised to not see it checked off when they initially sent me the tracker. they told me to call the office at the end of the week if everything isn't checked off by then.

I went to "Under Review" as of today. It's weird though because I just had my final transcripts sent today, so they don't have it yet. Anyone else in the same boat?

Mine should be complete, they said they have all my stuff, and I am still at 'application processing" with stuff missing on the status checker.
I don't know how that make sense.

canesfan1986 · Post by **canesfan1986** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:33 pm

Idk. When did you send your app in?

TFR · Post by **TFR** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:36 pm

canesfan1986 wrote:Idk. When did you send your app in?

Around 5/20 or so. And you? Maybe you are an auto-admit or something, so they put you U/R right away.

canesfan1986 · Post by **canesfan1986** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:44 pm

I think it was around the same time. But they only have one semester of grades right now. It doesn't make sense. The box for LS transcripts is unchecked. I'm at a 60s school with a 3.94, but all they have is fall semester when I had a 3.89. I know that probably put me at #1 or #2, and I'm probably #1 now. I still don't get what they're looking at.

canesfan1986 · Post by **canesfan1986** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 9:32 am

I called and it was a system error. They said they changed it back and they'll review it as soon as they receive the final transcript.

candytex · Post by **candytex** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 11:46 am

Does anyone know how many people apply to transfer to NYU law? How many people they offer admissions to? How many of those people end up actually attending?

I have tried to find these statistics, but I have not been able to.... I figured I'd throw it out there to see if someone tracked down this information

Mike Pib · Post by **Mike Pib** » Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:01 pm

Hi Candy. I'm starting at BLS in August. Is there anything about it that made you want to leave rather than just the opportunity to jump to a t14?

I think they have about 50 transfers or so. LSAC/ABA has an info sheet for each school with the amount of transfers attending.

Most people that get CLS/NYU take CLS so they probably accept alot more.
