MGM. What an impressive analysis.
I have thought about all that and decided to quietly accept my offer at NYU and move forward. Although if Y/H admits me (with good enough funding to compete with NYU's generous funding) and all I stand to lose is the NYU's admiration, I would go Y/H. At the moment, I am still in love with NYU, afterall they considered me first, even if it was 'strategic'.

Just curious. Is anyone else from Africa admitted to NYU? I am.

Hi

Did anyone try to get an extension from NYU?

Hallo! I have written a email to Nyu asking for extension but no reply they have sent me.

I am actually wondering whether those who have been granted non-Hauser scholarship (incl. partial tuition fee waiver) applied for Hauser scholarship. If yes, I still have dim hope to hear from NYU positive news since I did not apply for Hauser and speculate that NYU might be only sending decisions to Hauser applicants ( no matter whether they are granted Hauser, or other scholarships or not at all) for the first round....

Greetings! I have not got a reply but as i cannot keep waiting in so much uncertainty i ask one person in my fmily who is in our embassy in new york to intervene. it is peculiar that he went to nyu also (not law) and he assures that in select persons, an extention is sometimes granted just if i indicate i am willing not accept their skolarship. now i wait till monday.

i also agree that money is important and for me it is unordinary because i do not wish to ask my father for money. if he pays then the 10k skolarship i have is of no benefit.

Guys,

Stop, don't do this! I mean, do not cheat NYU's Admission Office. In other case, they will find you wherever you are, Harvard or Yale, and just... terminate you.

Sorry, just joking.... so hot discussion.

I've received Vanderbilt scholarship but I didn't apply for the Hauser.

Thanks to you both.

Not good news for me who haven't heard anything yet... NYU might just need time to send rejections....

Same for me..

Greeting all ! I will be asking nyu to remove the skorlarship if they can give me more time to make decision. i will hope that they understand my concern.

I wouldn't do that (but that's just me).

If you are not feeling strong enough about being accepted in other Universities you might prefer best, why don't you just make the deposit to secure NYU's spot and scholarship and then, if you happen to be admitted at any other University, just drop NYU...Better lose $500 than a scholarship, which - I'm sure - is much higher.

I understand your concern. There is a family matter for me to get the money. If evrything goes good {as i am hoping}, i will not need the skolarship which is ten thausand dollars.

This is an example of dishonesty. Did you really think that nobody had thought of this wayout before?? One should take up the scholarship only if they will not regret withdrawing other applications.

1. Lying to NYU is unacceptable. It's dishonesty and that really tells what kind of person you are, not to mention what kind of lawyer you would be.

2. NYU is generous enough to offer you a big sum of money and do you think lying to them is what they really deserve?

3. Accepting NYU's scholarship is obviously a contract. A basic one. Breaching the material terms of the contract may result in a legal action conducted against you (worst case scenario).

4. In a better case, NYU should be entitled to inform all the top-10 or top-20 schools about your lack of ethics. Why do you think schools like Harvard, Columbia, Yale or Stanford would want to admit a person who lied to their fellow law schools?? Honesty is a basic requirement for legal education. If you lied to NYU, it is very likely that you also lied about you credentials...they will spot it right away.

There are plenty of qualified applicants...as qualified as yourself but maybe not as lucky. Trust me, they won't feel a tiny regret withdrawing or putting their offers on hold (if you are lucky enough to be admitted to Harvard, Columbia, Yale or stanford) once they were informed of your hideous behaviour. I read from some where that law schools would fight to keep the best applicants...this is so absurd. Do not be too self-important...no one wants a liar in their schools.

This is the longest post I have ever written. It might be because I am angry after I have read the quoted sentence. Come one, if you got the scholarship and want it, then take it up and move on!! Don't fucking look back and wonder. If you prefer other schools and cannot live without knowing if higher-ranked schools will admit you, then decline the scholarship!! It's honesty and it's only fair to NYU and other applicants.

Cheers
