Re: NYU c/o 2017 Applicants Thread!
At this point, this is my NYU theory:
They're gunning for high LSATS, and are willing to tank their GPA median for it.
But come February, they are going to realize that more >75th LSATs aren't coming, and they are fucked if they can't get their GPA up. THEN they will let in someone like me, with a median LSAT, and a 75th GPA.
That's, my theory. LSN backs me up, as does the spreadsheet.
I realize that GPA is meaningless, but the geniuses at USNWR have made it a decent part of their infallible ranking system. So, I can still cling to this fragile hope.

How would they not let a median LSAT and 75th GPA in, in the first place? That's just insanemirroroferised7 wrote:At this point, this is my NYU theory:

that seems longer than usual. I submitted at a similar time and got a confirmation email the next day. It might be worth a call if you haven't gotten anything by Friday.minnesotasam wrote:Submitted my applications last week and haven't received a confirmation email from NYU. Seeing they're the only one that hasn't sent me anything, I just wanted to see if anyone here had a similar experience.

Checking in—another person hoping to ride the median wave to victory. Congrats to all accepts so far! Even though I was RD and a late November submit, I'm getting more and more pessimistic by the day...

No idea of your stats, but since you said you were surprised, I figured you might be a splitter? I was just referencing the fact that they really seem to be moving quick on top-level LSATs.

PRANK!!! SO I did not get into NYU! Someone at my job thought it would be funny to place the call! FYI not a funny prank! Guess I am a total ass for not checking my status before I made such a claim. Now I am humiliated. SON OF A BITCH! I think I am going to be sick.
