NYU c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[BrittanyJeream]

Has anyone who applied for the Anbryce scholars program been accepted yet?

nope. I think they announce their finalists around the end of february

I haven't either! Still at UR2 and getting nervous that I won't get an acceptance in time for the finalist consideration.

It's a little comforting knowing other Anbryce applicants are also waiting. Especially 2 people I'm pretty positive have better stats than me.

I'm at UR1 as of 1/5. I'm getting really nervous that AnBryce is not going to be a thing for me either.

Same; UR2 as of 12/28

Not sure why I check the status checker every day when I know it will only change on Tuesday (or...apparently, Monday night).

Le Sigh.

Speak for yourself; I'm UR2 as of today.

I mean to go DLS. This is only really happening on Tuesdays. I still keep checking it every single day though.

You'll get past the phase. Hopefully.

Lol, I have a tendency to check it whenever someone else reports movement.

Does every applicant go through two rounds of UR?

Nope. Some have 1, some have 3....most have 2.

[BEng,MBA,FRM,JD(?)]

Just went UR2! Does everyone go UR2 or there may be dings/WLs without UR2?
Approx range of wait timelines for UR2 --> result?
thanks all and good luck!

UR1 since 12/2

Good to know--I will try to tamp down my expectations a bit. Also, does GPA/LSAT or academic history play a role at all in determining who gets an interview? Thank you, again, for answering all of our questions--I really appreciate it!!

It does, but a very small role. Great grades/rigorous curriculum can play a greater role when 1) you're K-JD and your classes matter more, as compared to someone 2-5 years out whose narrative has changed since then; and 2) as a compensating factor.

Because you will have been admitted when you reach our eyes, it's our view that the exceedingly capable Admissions Office makes the determination whether you're ready for law school (for the cynical amongst you: whether it wishes to remain a T6 on the USNWR rankings) based on your grades. Our job isn't to second guess that. If you say you want to be a crim justice advocate and you barely passed all of your undergrad classes that had anything to do with that topic, that might raise an eyebrow or two. Especially if you're K-JD and that's one of our strongest indicators of your interest in that field. But let's say you didn't have a great GPA but you had 2 solid years interning with Fed Defenders, or a diversion/reintegration NGO. Your grades will be an afterthought to us in that situation. I was a splitter (<25 GPA, >75 LSAT) and got the Root. I know of 2-3 other splitters that are Roots. We all had post-grad experience (I had 2 years, the longest was 7).

The LSAT VERY VERY rarely has any impact, and grades rarely have an impact. That being said, it just so happens that many Roots did well academically, but I think that is more a function of passion/interest than being picked for grades. HTH

Cool, thank you. And thank you again for taking the time to answer our/my questions--I really appreciate your detail and responsiveness! It helps a lot.
