Hi guys,
just wondering how many indians have been admited to NYU and how many have scholarship? I have been admitted for the International Legal Studies but no funding...also have admissions from Northwestern,GWU and Georgetown.........it would be nice to excahnge notes and also helpoful if we know where we are headed

hey...

have an admission to NYU...but for some strange reason, my letter hasnt reached yet, so dont know the Schol position (btw if ur currently based in India, cud u tell me when ur letter reached?)

waiting for decisions from harvard, columbia etc...also need a fair amount of aid to make it financially feasible..

take care...

I have admission to NYU, with the Vanderbilt Scholarship. The letter reached me on March 20. I have offers of admission from Yale, Columbia and LSE. Will most probably be taking Yale.

i have also got an admit from NYU for the Int'l tax program. no scholarship uptil now. also have an admit from UMich. awaiting fin aid.

the letter was postmarked March 13 and I got it on March 20 by UPS courier.

I have got admission to NYU. Have also got the Vanderbilt Scholarship. Also have Yale, Columbia, MIchigan and LSE. Will be going to Yale.

I am also Indian (but already in the US), I have NYU's offer and am likely to take it over Berkeley/Upenn/Duke and GWU.

hi rac, I received my package on the 16th of March, though I dont have funding as I mentioned earlier I am taking NYU. So it would be nice if we can help each other on Housing , on-campus jobs etc.

hi guys,
Also now can someone tell me what happens to those scholarships rejected by people who are not taking the admission is there a possibility that it might be offered to students who accept admission...thanks

thats a very good point to consider...can anyone help with that querry?

especially because, naturally enough, a number of persons getting the nyu schols are exceedingly well qualified and would, therefore, have options at better univs like yale and possibly harvard...

logically if a schol fund generates a certain amount of money each year, I wud assume they wud utilize it to the full...

but i dont know..i think someone who has studied at nyu in past years mite have to help with this query...

The funds would get reabsorbed, not redistributed. It does not seem fair.

If some of you are accepting offers from Yale, you should write to the other universities to let them know that you will be going elsewhere

@ yueping -
I might be going to yale. It completely depends on which univ gives me the best funding package. So, I dont want to tell anyone that I am going elsewhere, unless I get to know how much funding the univ which is my first preference is willing to give me. I might go to NYU if Yale does not give me as much funding as NYU is.

As regards reallocation, the scholarship funds go to someone else if the person originally selected drops it. Thats what the letter says. The scholarship has to be accepted at the "earliest", and not later than May 1.

The deadlines for acceptance of offers from Columbia, Michigan and LSE have passed. I have informed them that I will not be going there. Whether I go to NYU or Yale, would depend on whether Yale gives me more aid than NYU.

ms, are you sure the Scholarships go to someonelse if the students dont take up the offer? thanks

I am absolutely sure, cos my letter says so. It says that earlier, there was no deadline for accepting the offer. But, because of the schols lapsing due to people not taking it, they have set a deadline of May 1 for the candidates awarded with the schols to accept the same. They say that this will enable to give it to someone else. So, dont worry abt it.

thanks ms, that is very comforting:)

hmm.....the indian economy seems to be doing good....more and more of us are opting for LL.Ms .As you all would have realized an insane number of applis. went from India this year...some of them.....right at the top...glad to know that...i assume i will be meeting most of you guys there....

i have been offered the Deans Graduate Admission award.....I wish there was some way that could be upgraded...10K aint enough to ease the burden..worse come worse...i will have to stay with my cousin at New Jersey...45 minutes train ride frm NYU....it would Remind me of Mumbai Local.... where are all you guys from yaar

plus......anyone looking forward to workin post LL.M....... i have heard from a friend who is studying there currently...that it gets damn competitive... and difficult and depends on ones networking...

well...dnt want to make u guys feel what you have missed out on...... Indian LL.M. grads frm HLS have got paid as high as 160K .....

beat that

hey everybody..what are you guys doing about accomodation at NYU? What they are offering is horribly expensive...i have to explore alternative options. Any ideas?

has anyone of you sent the intent to enroll form and started the I-20 processing requirements?

hey guys, I have sent the deposit but I can only send the OISS form for I-20 after i arrange for finances...ya i Agree that on-campus housing is awfully expensive, I am also looking for alternatives...but unfortunately for me cant seem to find too many girls going to NYU:( ....
