Re: In at NYU
So did Prof. Issacharoff. And there's a third one, too, whose name I forgot. My family is Argentine and one person on my panel for the RTK interview joked that NYU Law has a corner on the Argentine-American legal academic market.ChriLa425 wrote:Exactly!

Idk, I would find it pretty weird for a foreign language class to count toward a JD.

Having done 2 years of Arabic in college, I CANNOT IMAGINE trying to do a language intensive while also being in law school.

Re: In at NYU
I just received the e-mail that they changed my award this morning. I went from zero to $65K. I submitted my appeal on March 21st. So for those of you still waiting you should be hearing back soon.yale2011 wrote:Submitted around two weeks ago.

Also just received my appeal--they raised my award from $0 to $0! Will probably be withdrawing shortly.

Re: In at NYU
did u get to visit either? very different cultures, i think. I liked Cville, but loooove Philly. Philly has a bigger market and is close to both NYC and DC. But Wahoos...well, we have more fun.c_dubya_s wrote:I'm down to between Penn and UVA, which is turning out to be a way more difficult decision than I thought it would be.bmore wrote:c_dubya_s wrote:Also just received my appeal--they raised my award from $0 to $0!

Re: In at NYU
Probably anything from $45K up would have put NYU in the discussion, although they would have had to be close to matching Penn ($60K) in order for me to seriously consider it. They're all amazing schools, but $200K+ in loans is tough to swallow, especially given NYC's high COL. I was pretty bummed to get $0 initially from NYU, because I would love to go to law school in NYC. But it's hard to turn down $100K+ in scholarship money at a school (UVA) that would give me roughly the same career prospects in BigLaw as NYU would.RJ127 wrote:How much money would have made NYU a viable option?c_dubya_s wrote:I'm down to between Penn and UVA, which is turning out to be a way more difficult decision than I thought it would be.bmore wrote:c_dubya_s wrote:Also just received my appeal--they raised my award from $0 to $0!

In summary, even though I've all but written off NYU at this point, I'd put them right back in the discussion if a scholarship miraculously popped into my inbox...
