Hi dsr,

My application for financial assistance - RAship is pending consideration with the law school.

I wonder why all the Indian applicants are notified probably much later than the others about the admission decisions. Like Upenn , Duke, Nyu , nyu@nus has already started rolling out deicisions,but I dont think any Indian aplplicant has been informed till date.

As a result what can happen is that some particular schools , if they admit yoyu, expect you to expect their offer within an extremely short span of time. The consequences being that as you are unaware of the decision of other schools by that time(which are on ur priority list), you land up confirming your admission in the school which is not on ur top priority.
.....what do u guys have to say ?

Hey has anyone received an answer from Columbia yet?

Hello all.. i m ron from india. and i have applied to most of the law schools you people are discussing about.i applied during the second week of december so i guess admission decisions are going to b made only after the winter break. KVC IMHO i think the schools take up the application on a region wise basis and also most of the applicants i ve talked to applied during the first week of november so they all qualify for the early review.

Hi!
I applied to Georgetown, Penn law and NYU@NUS.
Till now i have received acceptances from Georgetown and NYU@NUS. Awaiting Pennlaw and theirs should be due by feb 8th. But NYU@NUS wants our acceptance by 12th jan. I guess I gotta weigh whole lotta factors now.. but im totally sold to Georgetown as of now!! How abt others here?? How are you making ur final decisions??

Congratulations.!
Georgetown is no doubt one of the best law schools.
I would take a final decision depending upon three factors - subject/stream choices available, school rank and the scholarship amount.

Hi guys..m an Indian applicant...ve applied to harvard, upenn, columbia, georgetown, michigan, ucla, uc berkeley..finished my applications in december so didnt qualify for any early review programs.... is it advisable to apply to a few more universities as back up...considering the competition to get through the others...my field of interest is Intellectual Property....should i apply to fordham and washington...would this affect my job prospects..m confused...please help

TO RIDDHI26

first of all, applications will not affect your job prospects;

if you are not very sure of admissions in the schools you have applied, and if you are looking for funding also, you should better apply to a few more schools; like VANDERBILT, WUSL, CWRU, SMU, AU-WCL, TEMPLE, CARDOZO to name a few.

Hi guys..
I had applied to upenn, columbia, nyu, uc, fordham and cardozo.
Got deferred from early to regular in columbia and upenn.
got into cardozo with scholarship.
havent heard from the rest
so keeping fingers crossed.

hi
i am applying for the academic yr 2009-2010. can you tell me when does the term start in CLS for Global business law and what is the due date for admission

Hi!

Has anyone from India heard from Columbia yet? And is anyone headed to NYu@NYC ?

Hi
I've applied to NYU@NYC, I can login into the admitted students section, however, I have not received the offer letter from them yet. I was wondering if anyone from India has received any from them communication yet.

Hey.

I received the offer package yesterday.

So did I, but the admit card does not mention anything about scholarship. Does that mean that my application for scholarship has been unsuccessful?

well though applied in US..........bt guess its too strict with admissions.......got into UCL and KINGS in UK n rejected from CORDOZO N BErkerly........dnt noe what US is lookin for..........even da weirdest unis reject you........n still hopin to hear from GWU as wanna go dor IP as thy re da oldest

Applied to NYU just before deadline in regular. NYU advised on 29th Feb that application is complete and will take time for final outcome.

Also applied to GWU who tell me that they will finalise by around end April.

Meantime exploring about eligibility to sit in NY Bar Exam without LL.M. and have separately sought help and guidance if anyone in my situation has experienced and done some exercise with NY Bar office to confirm eligibility. Indian being a common law country and degree is after 3-years class room study. LSAC has determined eligibility but not very sure about NY Bar Office to sit in Bar Exam.

Pl help and guide if anyone has done some exercise with NY Bar office.

Thanks
