Should I stay or should I go now? NYLS edition. Forum

[flexityflex86]

I am going to try that advice. I thought about e-mailing Brooklyn and letting them know of my situation, but was worried it would look bad. Should I do it as a letter of continued interest? Like:

Dear Brooklyn Law School,

I am greatly interested in attending BLS, however, I was recently admitted to another school in NYC and have a week to make my mind up. I would love to attend, but for my career and personal goals I need to make a decision fast. If granted admission into Brooklyn I would accept, but if not, I must accept the offer that is being given to me by the other school so I know for sure I have a spot in NYC. I greatly appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing back from you.

I don't know, I tend to think it reeks of desperation and probably has been done before without very good results. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

the more interested you are the better, just make them like you and feel out the personalities to see if you click and it would help to reach out. i personally found LOCI's to be useless everywhere, and only in person to help.

I might do that, then. Also, I might be in at Santa Clara, and don't know if that would be a good choice. I am from the Bay Area originally (San Francisco) and that would be my 2nd choice after NYC.

I am not for sure *in* at Santa Clara, but it says decision rendered and there is a spot now for deposits, even though it says $0.

Well, I won't be going to NYLS now, got in to Lewis and Clark today, and even though it's not New York, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have connections to California that I could hopefully use. Still gonna wait on Cardozo though, just in case. Thanks for your help.

Good thing I got an extension on the $500 deposit to NYLS, almost sent it out yesterday.

Good luck - glad you got in somewhere you're happy with. TBH, you probably have a better chance at landing a job in NYC at some point being a Lewis & Clark transfer than being a NYLS transfer.

Congratulations. I am glad you found something better than NYLS.

Thank you.

Congrats, as someone transferring out of NYLS to BU...you are making a good choice.

I haven't heard very many good things about NYLS. I would stay at your current school with your scholly. Wait for BLS to get back to you, or any T2 schools that you've applied to. I hear that NYLS is a trap.
