New York updated application forms?

Did the style of the forms in this link recently change? http://www.nybarexam.org/admission/admi ... Packet.htm

It looks like they have all been redesigned within the last couple of days, and so I am worried there will be an issue if I submit the old forms. The old forms had like a greenish-teal text box, whereas these new ones are just white. Also the font looks different.

Yes, they changed. First Department said the old ones are still accepted (but told a colleague that if they aren't completed yet that the new ones should be used).

Why does it say pro bono scholar on the top?

There's a checkbox, presumably so you can indicate if you did this http://ww2.nycourts.gov/attorneys/probo ... ndex.shtml, which lets you take the bar exam early.

I don’t see the check box—it’s probably because I’m looking at it from my iPhone. I’ll get on a laptop and get this done.
I still have to do the NY law course and exam anyway. So happy this is all over :D
