So just to confirm, NYU sent decisions on 12/2 and 12/3. We're still waiting on the next wave of decisions to be released.

Anyone have an idea when that will be based on past years' cycles?

Based on LSN for all the years available there doesn't seem to be a coherent pattern. It could be any day from this point on...

It looks like 12/6 was the latest ED acceptance last cycle, but it's a tiny sample size, plus with declining applicants all schools seem to be on different timetables this year.

Last year 12/10 was a huge day, so hopefully we see some movement this week.

Last year 12/10 was Monday, which means we'd expect all that movement today. Hurm.

So, 170s are often good enough for an acceptance, but it is a grudging acceptance that often takes until Feb/March? :|

It's my Dad's 70th birthday today. I'm really really hoping I can surprise him with a "I GOT INTO NYU!!!!" I feel like he's more stressed out than me at this point...

I wasn't planning on applying to NYU after they LOST my application for undergrad and refused to refund my application fee- it left a bad taste in my mouth. But today they sent me an email asking me to apply, you know the one. The "you're a competitive applicant based on your numbers" email- anyone know if their numbers are down? or what? I'm not a super strong applicant for them generally speaking- 167, 3.75ish. Is it worth applying? I don't want to spend $100 for a rejection letter like I did for undergrad (after I waited 3 weeks past their decision date and called them... they refused to refund my app fee but said they'd notify me after reading my application. psh. jerks!)

My application is completely done, except that I'm still debating whether to apply to the AnBryce. I was trying to find some information on previous winners to see what kind of thing they are looking for. Anybody know what makes it worth it to throw an essay at? It seems more essay driven than numbers, yes? no?

Thanks everyone.

Also, anecdotally heard from a "friend" at NYU that a lot of the RTK-type people he knows actually have lower numbers, since NYU tries very hard to maintain a strong PI sense on campus.

ETA: I'd say if you have a strong story and decent numbers, throw the essay in. I'd also just recommend working on it quickly and getting your app in as soon as possible.

I would apply. Don't let petty grievances or $100 get in the way of attending a wonderful school which would set you up for a successful career.

Edit: Well midwest is less lazy than I am and actually looked up the myLSN info - that doesn't support a huge shot at NYU.

You're below the LSAT 25th, and in the GPA 50-75. I wouldn't expect you to have a great chance, and LSN seems to back that up:

Did they give you a fee waiver, or just encourage you to apply?

Thanks, do you think the RTK-types are similar to AnBryce in types of stories? I feel like I'm more on the end of numbers being strong and story being ok.

Yeah, I'm just lumping everything together under RTK. I really don't know. I'd say if you meet the qualifications for AnBryce and have the numbers for NYU, then you should apply (assuming you can still get your application out relatively quickly).

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
