NYU c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle) Forum

[BL2017]

last year it seemed like a decent handful of people that went UR2 11/28 or 11/27 got DLS on Dec 1st

Interesting. I'm wondering when the first dings were last year. Isn't there a way to look that up on LSN?

It's been at the beginning of February the last few cycles, I believe.

Still UR1, still since 9/23...

This smells like a ding, right?

I'm also UR1 (since 10/30). Maybe they're just waiting a little bit on internationals/those without GPAs or processing them in a different pool. Don't really know why they'd just ding us out of hand, especially considering that NYU quite likes internationals.

Also, a couple of people have reported that they went straight to DLS from UR1 so its more difficult to tell what UR1/UR2/UR3 mean for NYU than for other schools.

I suppose I'm ever the optimist so feel free to ignore.

I would agree with you if we were just close on app timing, but I have 1 month and 1 week of UR more than you

However, yeah I really think they want to screen the early international applicants all together, hopefully before christmas. It makes sense, when you receive a lot on int'l apps!

I'm still UR1 since 9/26 and in my heart I know everything's electronic but I feel like my app got stuck behind the filing cabinet or something

Above 75th% for LSAT and GPA. I've been UR1 since mid-October. Starting to get nervous!

+1

+2. So subtext = you should give little thought to UR1 vs. UR2 vs. UR3. It is so early still.

I'm "UR 2" but have been there for a while and am in the same position numbers wise. There are a lot of us that haven't heard yet so hopefully we'll be taken care of in the next wave!

I would venture to guess that UR1/2 is meaningful for some and not so for others. It seems like for people either over both 75ths or way over one or the other going UR1 to admit is a distinct possibility. It also seems like last year's first two waves of admits contained only such people, many of whom reported going straight from UR1 to admit, and that seems to be the case again this year. Last year's third wave of admits included lots of September-early October applicants who weren't necessarily shoe-ins. If I had to guess, I don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of people went UR2 on the eve of the third wave. Not saying I think all of us who did will get in this week or even at all, just think they probably ruled us out of the first couple of waves as soon as we applied and are now considering us for the upcoming waves

Okay, I don't mean to be that guy, but could you elaborate on what you speculate this means for someone who is likely an auto-ding applicant? Like others I just went UR2, but everyone else in the UR2 pool seems more like an auto-admit. So I guess I'm not sure what you mean by any of this.

Why do you think you're an auto ding applicant? You're above their median GPA. Maybe they can use you to offset a splitter they admit.

Because my LSAT is below the 25th lol. By a lot. But yeah, I'm over their 75th GPA. I also heard that they're more splitter friendly than reverse splitter friendly.

[thepsychedelic]

any chance there’s a wave today or is it too late? trying to figure out if i should stop wildly refreshing the status checker (not that i will)

You're not an auto-ding, last year several people with similar and even slightly worse stats were admitted as early as the third and fourth waves. At the same time this swath of UR2s does seem really broad and the more people who chime in saying it happened to them, the less significant it seems

Thanks for the added boost of confidence! I'm not trying to be woe-is-me, but I just keep hearing how my LSAT score is auto-ding worthy at the T10 since I'm a K-JD and a non-URM.

I wouldn't say you're an auto-ding either! Don't give up hope just yet!

You guys are too kind I'll keep my fingers crossed for a little while longer

When you guys say UR1 or UR2 does the website say "Under review 2" or has the date just changed twice ?

[lumosfawkes]
