I wasn't responding to your post Yabes but what you wrote just happened to fall within the area. You have been awarded a big scholarship by NYU, so I would assume that you possess great credentials and I would like to congratulate you on that. Interpreting the word 'withdraw' should not be hard for someone of your calibre. Obviously, I am no smarter than you but maybe the fact that I have no interest in this matter makes me able to see things more clearly than you. Withdrawal of applications should mean any action, oral or written, which results in law schools concerned stopped considering your applications or withdrawing their offers in case the decisions have already been made pertaining to your applications. As for your question whether you should call them or write to them...please think for yourself.

Cheers

I'm not sure whether you're responding to my post or not. But I just wish to know this withdraw indicates my actions such as decline letter or call that I wish to be not considered for admission. I enrolled to NYU so don't get me wrong.

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

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.

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

I can give you the answer they'll give you: No, because they want you. That's why they stuff you with a scholarship and a short deadline to answer. they are well aware that HLS and YLS have not started sending their decisions. And they hope that the very good reputation of NYU, the great location of NYU, the large amount of money they offer you in this great city and the short deadline are good reasons to decide in favor of NYU (I think this makes sense and I would def. consider it, although I can afford all the other schools even without a scholarship).

But yes, you may keep your hope up and cancel NYU's offer or you can accept with a possible dishonesty or you just realize that the difference between the schools is not worth a certain amount of money and go to NYU...

Has everyone joined the groups for the incoming LLM class? There are two on Facebook (one is public and one is by invitation) and another public one on lawyrs.net: http://www.lawyrs.net/groups/229/nyu-law-llm-class-of-2011

I haven't seen many discussion regarding housing yet. What is everyone planning to do?

I thought about housing.

A friend of mine who studied last year at NYU told me that cost of the small room at NYU's dormitory something like $1600-1800. Not cheap. However, advantage is that you should not spend time on commuting.
