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

[heythatsme]

I've been UR1 since 10/25 with 25<GPA<50 and 75<LSAT, and after looking over my application, I realized in a section where I wrote about NYU's public interest fame I wrote "New York University Law School" instead of "New York University School of Law."

Did I sign my ding warrant? I keep going back in forth in my head saying it's such a small difference that they won't care but on the other hand NYU is so competitive that any application should be flawless so any mistake is reason enough to get tossed out...

Can anyone provide some solid advice for preparing a LOCI? Any tips are appreciated.

All I can say is that if I was on the committee, I wouldn't ding you because of this.

It's way more comforting to hear you two say this than to keep saying it to myself so thank you both

Do we assume that the wave was today, then? And that the next wave will be in 2017?

If it makes you feel any better, I submitted half of my apps with an "of" instead of an "off" before I caught it.

This is why I haven't looked at my apps since I submitted them. If there's a typo, I don't want to know about it. It's too late now.

gonna add to the "if it makes you feel better" train: I used an unnecessary comma to connect a dependent clause in 6/14 of my applications

Completely left out a word in my personal statement that definitely would trip up readers, and only had good news so far (although at lower T14 schools than NYU so far). Still, I don't think you should worry. NYU Law School seems like an acceptable way to refer to the school, even if it's not the proper name. You didn't make one of those "you're doomed" type of mistakes where you list the wrong school name or city name or a program that isn't even part of the school.

Cmon do you really think they care about that? Don't think it'll affect you at all.

Also deferred from ED. Should we be writing a LOCI or a Why NYU? I though that a LOCI was only for the waitlist?

I'm sorry, I meant a "Why NYU". It'll function as a LOCI, too - considering how long we'll now have to wait. Based on last year, we won't hear a peep till April and there will be no movement on our status checkers.

How long until someones goes from UR for a RD to an admission notification?

[brinicolec]

How long until you went UR for a RD admission notification?

Wait, are you asking how long it's taken to go UR OR how long it's taken RD people UR to receive a decision?

How long it takes for NYU to make a decision from a RD applicant after they went UR? Hope it makes sense I am not a native speaker

That seems to vary depending on your stats (which makes sense). I've been UR for exactly a month but some people have gotten decisions faster than that; however, I have lower stats so I'd imagine that could lead to a longer review process for me.
