for the love of god, no one is telling anyone else to jump off a cliff so check yourself before you wreck yourself (oh man i've been dying to say that to someone lately).

seriously though, if you do your research you should have a pretty good idea of where you stand with regard to the general applicant pool anyway, so what some random 0L tells you on a message board shouldn't freak you out so much. and while LSN and the like are typically said to only represent about 10% of the applicant pool, it's still a pretty good cross section of informed and competitive candidates. so unless you are very, very special, you are not going to game the system significantly better than anyone else.

things are moving so slowly today... *sigh*

Did anyone else who applied in late December/early January (before 1/8 or so) and got a "received" email on 1/12 or earlier NOT get a "complete" email today? I feel like the only one, and I'm tempted to bug them about it tomorrow, ask if there's anything they need. (Submitted 12/29 here.)

Me three. Got the "app recieved on 1/12, and didn't get completed today. Maybe we will be tomorrow?

[BenJ]

Yeah, knowing I'm not alone cut down on the nerves. We should get the e-mail tomorrow. Frustrating that people who submitted after me went complete before me, though. Unless I get in at HYS, NYU is my top choice.

Same here.

interesting on both accounts. why no columbia love?

I got the "app received" e-mail on 12/22, and haven't gotten a complete e-mail yet. I got the impression from this thread that it wasn't really anything to worry about.

My preference for NYU over CLS is marginal. I'm interested in PI and, based on reading these boards, am partial to NYU's less competitive atmosphere.

Agree on all, except I'm more interested in urban/environmental law, which NYU is stronger in than Columbia. If Columbia gives me significantly more money than NYU (or some while NYU gives none), I'd go with Columbia.

Not everyone gets complete e-mails. NYU is kind of inconsistent like that. I never received a complete e-mail, and I got in in December.

This is my first post on TLS (although I've been a frequent lurker). How long does it usually take for NYU to acknowledge that they have received your application? I applied on Jan. 1st and I haven't heard a thing.

They're irritatingly inconsistent. Most people who applied around that time received an email on 1/12 saying that NYU received their application, but some didn't. If you'd like, e-mail NYU to make sure that they have your application, but your "application received" e-mail probably just got lost in the shuffle. NYU's admissions office seems to be disorganized about providing information.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered- but if you can get onto the admitted students site does that mean you are in?

[pa.wink]

just got an e-mail from them today saying they received my app. submitted a little over a week ago.

Holy crap I just tried and it worked for me too! So...I guess we're in?

LOL, closemouthed NYU, not even telling people they're admitted. Yes, you're almost certainly in.

You're all going to hate me but what's the log in info for the admitted students site? Also, link?

SSN for username and birthdate for password. It didn't work for me, said no record found, which is unsurprising considering that if I'm complete, it just happened today.

[portena]

Sort of an anticlimactic first acceptance...I should have patiently waited for the purple envelope to make its way down South. But I'll take it!

[02082010]

mehhhh.. nothing for me either. I'll get the WL promptly in April. No need to worry.

ditto. to be honest, i'm kind of surprised. i sort of banked on nyu. maybe i shouldn't have, but i just had this feeling i'd be at nyu in the fall.

At least we have an NYU status checker now.

[wackadoodle]

sooo I could log into the admitted students page yesterday but today it doesn't work....what to make of this? maybe they decided they hate me?

Did this happen to anyone else?
