Just give me a decision.

literally... like if you cant decide isnt that the point of the wl? at this point it just seems like their playing an elaborate game of survivor but the survivors are supposed to eliminate themselves out of frustration

wonder if everyone has the same deadline for scholarship acceptance though.

That's a good question. My scholarship changed and the deadline to accept did not, however.

thanks. of course they have one of the latest ones lol...I would assume your scholarship deadline has not changed.

I'm currently freaking out because I didn't realize most of these schools have deadlines at the end of this week and next week and I haven't visited all of them

Any date changers wanna share stats?

Below 25th for LSAT and between 25th and 50th for GPA. AA URM

I desperately hope this means there will be one last wave of admits. My date finally changed on 4/8 and now 4/10.
LSAT = median, GPA > 75th

with absolutely no info, I'm going to guess that NYU does not have a big admit day from this point forward. I think a huge amount of people will get WL'd and after the first seat deposit they will fill remaining spots slowly

Probably no shot for low LSAT peeps right

I think it would depend on how many people with high GPAs commit during the 1st deadline

Did weiler's int'l law class when I went; loved it. Wish Amy Adler's was open to visitors. It's my dream to take her art law class.

Definition of "icon". Old-school dude with dark side who scares the living shit out of you yet, you love the man and he is your grandpa before class ends. But really, he is so well-respected/renowned, which I think generates a great deal of intimidation/tension in the classroom. Pro-participation to a limited extent, in other words, not a lot of Socratic Style learning happening in that classroom. He's there to train you, and he's not shy about that.

Question for those of you waiting: would you go at sticker? I got a much lower scholarship offer from NYU than from others, so I'm curious what makes you all want to go here regardless of cost, if yes.

(Apologies if the above is annoying/insensitive, I'm genuinely curious!)

I would go at sticker, I'd pay them to accept me. Location is pretty high on my list. I not only want to be in this area for the rest of my adult life, but also have family reasons for wanting to stay. As far as NYU specifically, unmatched public interest resources/placement - as someone with ACLU staff position/fellowship as short term goal after law school, this matters big time. Having worked a lot in the public interest world (and at the ACLU), I know now that elitism is rampant even in this arena. This is where NYU's reputation comes in. And even if people say Columbia is well-established in PI, NYU still has a slight edge for me. and with criminal justice reform as my #1 area of interest I can't imagine loving anywhere more than the place where Bryan Stevenson is lol.

International Law is my second area of interest and as anyone on TLS will tell you it is well-regarded for this also.

But if you can't come up with reasons on your own I certainly won't encourage you to choose it. Especially if the money isn't right. (Hope that doesn't sound mean, as I'm not trying to be.)

It all depends the person. If you are a splitter, you may have nuked your chances for sizable money. In that case, it may make sense.

+1 and this.

I'm in a mild splitter I guess. I would do NYU at sticker because of how it compares to my other options. If I had another solid option with money, then I may not be so certain.

C'mon NYU...just accept her already!!!! Can't you see how much she loves you???

April 11th and seems like a ton of people have no decisions yet. I think this is very inconsiderate of NYU. Lower ranked schools usually have 4/1 deadlines and even some of the T14 have deadlines in the middle of the month. What does NYU gain by waiting? I would think that waiting can only hurt their matriculation rates because people they offer admission to may have already made different plans without withdrawing.

I know that I am probably barking up the wrong tree, but law school admissions should be more standardized. There should be a LSAC deadline for rendering a decision and then all deposit deadlines should be a month after that first decision deadline (giving students adequate time to weight their options). Of course this will never happen, because schools use deadlines to push students into depositing without all the information they need (like scholarships) for their own profits.
