RTK ding received via e-mail just now.

Same here.

RTK ding received via e-mail just now. Sad of course, but happy to finally get an answer after 4 months of silence!

Sorry to hear that. Now come give the senioritis thread the Sour Grapes award it's been waiting for.

ETA: Also just dinged for RTK.

[gamerish]

Hope the AnBryce dings go out today.

Man, so sorry to the RTK dings hope you'll get generous non-named merit aid!

[Lawcat11]

are any other people still waiting for their merit scholarship offers? I was admitted in late january and still haven't heard anything

Admitted 12/1, did not apply to any named scholarships, still waiting.

I was accepted in the first wave and just got my RTK ding - I'm imagining it's somewhat rolling but that you should hear in the next two weeks based on past years / the fact that the interviews tend to be in early April, I believe.

ETA: That is named merit, sorry. Once you get dinged from your named merit if you applied, I think then you get generally considered for a Dean's Award/regular merit aid. I imagine it's the same if you interview and are turned down for named merit.

Also in the club. Awaiting an AnBryce ding so the merit aid ball can get rolling. I submitted my NeedAccess and FAFSA months ago so hopefully I don't have too long of a wait.

Can anyone who went to the ASW tell me on which day the housing tour (if there was one) was on? I don't see it on the tentative schedule online and that's pretty much the most important part of ASWs for me.

They did it as part of the campus tours on Thursday, and I believe did it again Friday morning (although I'm not sure).

Although I will say, for the price I'd just live off campus and commute... Easier for me as a current NYC resident, but figured I'd mention.

Same, except I was admitted in late January. Already sent in NeedAccess.

I think I'll plan on commuting (if I attend), as my current rent is <$500 cheaper per month than the cheapest NYU dorm option. Getting to the law school would be a shorter commute than I currently do every day for work, so it'd be hard to justify.

For those who would be coming from out of town, I think it would be possible to tour apartments and lock one down in under 1 week. The market moves quickly here, so I think logistically it would be feasible, and better to spend several hundred dollars on a hotel for a week and then save a ton each month.

I'm pretty sure I'd sink the difference in rent into keeping my Equinox membership... I can't go without.

[sfoglia]

Am I going to have to be that weird person who tries to recruit a fellow law student roommate via TLS?

Answer: Yes.

A little over $1k in Brooklyn, 25-35 minutes from NYU, 1.5 miles from Prospect Park (BK's version of Central Park). If you like having a kitchen that doesn't double as a living room, a quiet neighborhood with tree-lined streets, PM me.

QFT on all of this.

I'm not moving. I actually like commuting because it gives me time to read the NY Times and wake up. Also, the view from the bridge. <3 <3 <3 No better way to begin a morning and end a night.

I looked at apartments for about three hours before I found mine (granted, the apartments I saw were really, really terrible).

I'm going to be relinquishing Equinox when I leave my job... I'm already sad about it

But yeah, the prices on the NYU housing are nowhere near worth the accommodations or being in the Village, especially when I'm going to be in so much debt already. If I attend NYU, I'd much rather keep my commute (it'll also be shorter than my current one) and pay half the price. I agree people would be able to lock down an apartment if they came for a week in mid July (for an August 1st move-in) or early August (for a Sept. 1st), and if you look in the right places you can avoid the broker's fee too.

I know a lot of people I met on campus were adamant that living next to the law school made it worth it, but it seemed most of them didn't realize lower rents were an option if you get out of the village...

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but does anyone have any insight on the format of the RTK interview? I understand that it's a panel interview. I am curious if it's mostly questions about your work experience, chosen focus, or situation-based questions, etc. I am getting so nervous and I want to start preparing as intelligently as possible.

I think a current student had a long post on this a few pages back - might be misremembering which scholarship it was for, but worth taking a look back a little ways.

Cool, I will do some more digging. Thanks!!

It's about halfway down Page 3.

I'm a rookie for not seeing that! Thanks so much.

Is anyone still waiting on an answer either way about RTK? I haven't been dinged (condolences to all those who received the news!), and haven't been invited for an interview. Literally about to melt into a pile of mush, and am just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

I am, and according to last year's thread this is still within a normal timeframe to be waiting. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply and info! Glad I'm not the only one!
