They don't know what they're missing. If it makes you feel better, I have heard that the Furman typically doesn't get awarded to incoming students. It's usually given to 2Ls after they're already there. :/Doorkeeper wrote:So did I. wtf NYU?

Also, email also said all named scholarship notifications have gone out.
Ohhhh. So you apply for the Furman after you've already at the law school? I had absolutely no idea that was done, but it makes sense then why no incoming people would get it.kulshan wrote:They don't know what they're missing.

P.S. I just withdrew.
Yeah, I'm not even sure why they let incoming people apply for it. I understand that they might worry that most incoming people don't know whether they'll want to do academia, but surely some of us do! The decision will be even easier once Yale finally cuts me loose!Doorkeeper wrote:Ohhhh. So you apply for the Furman after you've already at the law school?

PS- Looks like your decisions just got a hell of a lot easier! Good for you!
Yea...the false hope is not appreciated. They could easily just make that a scholarship where only 1Ls apply and that would've been the end of it.kulshan wrote:Yeah, I'm not even sure why they let incoming people apply for it.

1L chiming in to let you all know that this is correct. Some incomers have Furmans; most are awarded 1L summer.kulshan wrote:I have heard that the Furman typically doesn't get awarded to incoming students. It's usually given to 2Ls after they're already there.

Aren't you allowed to apply to as many as you'd like?Doorkeeper wrote:Thanks! I had no idea.thsmthcrmnl wrote:1L chiming in to let you all know that this is correct.

I totally would've applied to the other scholarships had I known this was the case. Ugh!
Yea, but since my interests lined up with the Furman, I thought it would be best to just apply to the one that I was interested in. I thought about applying broadly, but didn't think it made much sense when one of the scholarships fit me. Oh well.cerealdan wrote:Aren't you allowed to apply to as many as you'd like?

When I applied in 2009, NYU was the first school I applied to back in October. And they were the last school to get back to me. Wasn't until early April that they finally rejected me, and they wouldn't even help me out by getting a decision to me before the decision deadlines of other schools.fakehunter wrote:Does anyone know when in the year NYU is done sending out decisions? I submitted in October, been under review since 11/22 and it's been radio silence since. I've heard back from everywhere else so I just want to start being able to make decisions!
I am in the same situation. However, I have no information on where they are in the process.

I am in the same situation as well and I contacted their financial aid office earlier today to inquire about that. They said they are working on trying to finalize Dean merit scholarship decisions in the next few days and should have them sent out (I believe by email) early next weekArchitectOfPeace wrote:I am in the same situation.

ssteiner, I think most people hear by phone. I got an email, but I don't live in the U.S.ssteiner wrote:To people who *have* gotten named scholarship interview requests- did the request come by mail, email, or phone? A friend of mine hasn't heard anything yet and was curious.
