Four days I been checking my mailbox. Mail DOES NOT take this long to get from NYC to my state. They probably haven't even mailed out the letters yet.

i mean - i kinda assumed that NYUs ranked high enough that it doesn't YP - especially as so many people choose law schools on factors other than school ranking (like location/programs/biglaw/etc.)

Above both 75ths, wrote none of the optional essays. Got in earlier this week.

The same question had entered my mind, though, given that there were so many possible extra essays...

Yeah, I can't believe that the T6 YPs at all. Even if you don't apply for a named scholarship you're still eligible for merit aid, and it's not at all crazy to take NYU with $$ over HYS.

I got mine yesterday, but it was just a letter. It says they'll be sending a more comprehensive packet "soon."

Note: I was also ED.

Received my letter yesterday (Friday). It was just a letter, but here was a nice handwritten note attached as well. the letter is dated Wednesday, so that's probably why not a lot of people have received them yet.

If anyone's application is still incomplete pending receipt of a dean's letter...feel free to PM. I found it tremendously frustrating, but it worked out.

What did your personal note say? I'm curious to see how standard they are.

Checkin in..


Does anyone know if applicants who did not apply for any of the named scholarships are still considered for some sort of scholarship $?

HOLY EFFING CRAP: UR2 yesterday! I didn't even notice notice the status changed yesterday, because I didn't bother to status check after compulsively refreshing the page all week and losing hope.

Aaaaah, they didn't forget my app! Glorious day. :)

I believe everyone eventually goes UR2.
