Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I'm a retaker, took the bar in Feb 2018 first in Albany, and failed. I remember that we received admission letters from third department on March 27th. This time around, I took the bar in Feb 2020 in NYC test center. I have not received any update from any department yet.. Does anyone know how it works?

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I came here looking for something like this. I searched my emails from before when the Third Department has sent out the instructions. For July it was in August and February was March (of 2018). I’ve received nothing-not a letter with instructions, not an update on the best way to submit an application, not even a stupid survey. At this point I would welcome a survey. Having not received anything, I’ve been overthinking all day that it possibly means I failed. However, COVID-19 started shutting NY down just after March 10th, and this is the likely reason as to why we haven’t received instructions. They probably don’t even know what we’re supposed to do. Here’s hoping.soontobeNYAttorney wrote:That's exactly what I'm wondering...

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I just hope that the only reason we haven't received admission notifications is the Covid situation and it doesn't have to do anything with pass/fail. I've also asked the same question on Reddit and it seems like no one has received any email from the 1st and 3rd dept yet...KFelton910 wrote:I came here looking for something like this.

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I concur, seeing that no one has received an instructions email 1) is comforting or extremely alarming given the pass rates across the country; and 2) makes sense because its going to be impossible to get "wet" signatures right now, coupled with the number of admissions packets being sent in. All of those pieces of paper, going to an empty office and very well could be from a COVID-19 carrier....I just hope that the only reason we haven't received admission notifications is the Covid situation and it doesn't have to do anything with pass/fail.

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I got a receipt confirmation email yesterday (5/14) from the First Dept. I received the notification to resubmit on 5/6 and submitted the complete application on 5/7.
This is the language from the email:
Congratulations!!! We are in receipt of your application to be admitted to the New York Bar. Your application shall now be reviewed. Upon completion of such review, you will receive an update in the form of an email from the Committee. Said email will delineate the next steps in the Court’s’ novel virtual interview and admission process. Please wait a minimum of two weeks before contacting the Committee for an update.

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
At least the 2nd department is moving forward with admissions. The first department is more focused on patting itself on its back about how they are so "novel" by using video conferencing. They could care less about pending admissions.
What an absolute joke.

Does anyone have issue with watching the orientation videos? I think all the video links are dead.

Re: NY 1st Department Admissions
I submitted via FedEx and then submitted electronically the next day just to be sure. I received an email that I needed to include a few open items from my application (this was the first time I was hearing about these additional requests). I finally submitted everything over the weekend but haven’t heard back yet.phoenix2015 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 11:52 amDid you have to resubmit your application electronically?
