Thank you Vert.
Do we get a second chance for review in the regular round if we are rejected in the early review?

There are 3 possibilities for the Early Review applicants:
1. Accepted;
2. Defferred;
3. Rejected.
If you are rejected there is no second chance on the regular round. The decision is final. Best you cand do is to reapply next year...

Hemmm...So what are the advantages for early review then?
(1) you get to know your result earlier?
(2) you get a chance to prove to CLS your loyalty to them?

the advantage, if you are accepted, is that you don't have to deal with the excruciating wait. around april, you will understand what i mean.

Yep that's why I've applied on early review...
By the way, Corleone, were you accepted on early review?
Regards

Since this board is quite inactive these days and I am so bored of my exams and papers, I have a hypothetical scenario to ask.
Let's say if you got admitted to CLS with no financial aid, but in at NYU with a few aid (let's say 10 K or 20K). Which one would you rather go to?? and why??
I'd love to ask the same for Harvard but people seem inclined to choose Harvard over the above 2 schools unless any of them offered you a hefty amount or full scholarship.
Cheers

I'd choose Columbia.
Financial aid is not a decisive factor to me.
I consider the LLM as a long term career investment. I am sure the amount spent with it will be returned in large proportion in the future working years. So my choice will be made on the basis of the reputation of the Law School and the academic quality of the program...

I love both NYU and Columbia but I would have to go to NYU 'cos I need financial aid.

So VERT, according to you Columbia's reputation beats NYU's? Bc it's Ivy League?
Is the quality of the courses&teaching really better at Columbia compared to NYU? Many of my friends have chosen NYU over Columbia when they've been admitted to both. Some have even gone to Chicago instead, claiming the courses there are better. Comments?

In my opinion yes and I'd have no doubt in choosing.
I am an European and here the Columbia brand is definitely stronger that NYU...
In addition, my specific area of interest is securities law. From what I've read and heard CLS is one of the strongest in this field...
I didn't say CLS was better than Chicago. Chicago is obviously a great law school, also better than NYU in my opinion. Even though I would never go there because of the city and the weather...

Here is the deal!!
Chicago - number oner for law and economics - posner, coase, etc..
Columbia - the best for corporate / securities law - coffee, goldschimdt, gilson, etc.. (Number one as regards to employment).
NYU - top tier for tax. Also good in tbe above mentioned, but far from the suspects (CLS - CHI).

I fully agree, it would be a luxurious problem to have to choose between Columbia and NYU...
VERT - is HLS your overall first choice?

Do you know what Columbia meant by "final year of law school"?
In fact, I did not apply to early review as I'm in my final year of law school in France, but I had my first law degree two years ago.

Honestly, I haven't thought much about it. I prefer to wait and see...
From what I've heard HLS criteria may be quite "unexpected", but certainly I'll go there if admitted. I think it's just an offer one can't refuse lol.
BTW, I did not apply to NYU because it's not highly ranked in securities law. But that does not mean I don't consider it to be among the best...

"final year of law school" means the final year of your first law degree, like an LLB or JD, as the case may be. i applied when i was in my final year of my (non-CLS) LLM and that was fine.
