This is a question to everyone who had applied to transfer with either successful results or otherwise: Did any of you visit the prospective transfer school and attempt to speak with the admissions council? Were you able to, and if so, what was the substance of the conversation? Perhaps this is a base left uncovered that future transfer candidates could exploit...

I'm pretty sure there are only a couple of us and my guess is it's mostly because of slow mail.

I just renewed my lease though - I'm 99% staying at this point.

I have not heard from CLS either yet...

got a "complete" email from CLS friday at about 5:30pm even though some of my boxes are still unchecked. hopefully they still have some acceptances to dish out, but not very optimistic about it.

I did not visit after I gradually came to realize that I wasn't applying to undergrads. Law schools are building with professors in towns with places to live and restaurants to eat at (well, with the exception of Washington and Lee). They all have nice libraries and places to take breaks during lunch...I just never felt the need during the transfer process to "get a vibe" from the school. This is a career decision. I only cared about: Reputation/career prospects, cost and regional location.

*though I will add that everyone seemed to say Berkeley had an awesome student population/level of relaxed and happy students compared to places like NYU and CLS...but that didn't affect my decision bc ultimately I wanted SF Bay Area or DC.

I think the post was more aimed at answering the question - "Do you think a face-to-face visit with admissions helped you get into the school?"

Can anyone get into the NYU admitted students site? My status is decision letter sent, but with no email or phone call.

ms2010 · Post by **ms2010** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 9:35 am

I got in over a week ago and still cannot get in.

just got an email from NYU career services for admitted students. status had changed on Friday to "decision letter sent" - I had not yet seen the letter.

Didn't apply to CLS. I'm only waiting on SLS now.

I live within 40 minutes of NY, and got my CLS rejection letter on Saturday. So my guess is that a large round of rejections went out at the very end of the week, and most wouldn't have gotten to their destinations just yet. For those still waiting, my fingers are crossed for you.

engineered madness · Post by **engineered madness** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:14 pm

so what's everyone's guess - people getting rejected and/or admitted today to CLS?
