NYU Application 2020-2021


Who is planning to apply to NYU for LLM starting in 2020?

I know that only one academic recommendation letter is required, but I'm planning to obtain a profesional recommendation letter too. Any advice on this?

Thank you!!

What kind of advice are you looking for? A second letter can help, if it's a good one and from somebody who knows your work. Bonus points if they're alumni of the school.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering how do you guys exactly proceed for the transcripts ? Especially French people ...
What should we do ? Should we ask as translator for the certified translation and then ask the uni to send them to LSAC ? Do we send the paper version to each uni ? Or do we send everything to LSAC only ?
If anyone French or familiar with the French system could get in touch with me ... I don’t really know what to ask to my uni ...
Thank you ????

I’m french as well, I think you can send everything to LSAC but for the translation of the transcripts I still don’t know if I have to contact a certified translator... Good luck

Thanks for your answer.
I also wanted to know, if in the institutions we attended we should also put the one we are in currently, like I did my master 1 in a college and I began my master 2 this week in an other university (classes just started this week so it is very likely that I won’t have any transcripts soon for the law schools) ... should I also add this second university to the school I attended ? I guess no because they won’t have anything to provide for me ... but I am not sure ...

Good morning guys,

I am applying for the IBRLA LL.M. and there is something I would like to ask you: when I am about to send my documents through LSAC, do I have to purchase tools like DAS, ITAES and similar? I can't understand whether I am able to complete my application without this expense or not.

Thanks a lot in advance to whoever can help me out.

The DAS and ITAES are services provided by LSAC.If you pay for these services while applying through LSAC,LSAC will evaluate your transcripts and send them to the colleges you have applied to.If you are not applying for colleges through LSAC but are directly sending your application to the college itself you dont require the DAS and ITAES services.

DAS is Document Assembly Service and ITAES is International Transcript Authentication and Evaluation Service .

You need to make the payment two to three weeks prior to the date you want to avail those services.

Is anyone here a fresh grad like me? I expect to gain my LLB (low 2:1) in May 2020 and would like to apply for NYU LLM Fall 2020 start. However, I know that NYU strongly prefer candidates with at least 1-2 year(s) full-time postgraduate work experience. Although I have done a vacation scheme in a city firm and have good extra curricular activities, I still worry that I might be put in a considerable disadvantage.

The professor who knows me well and wrote me the letter of recommendation this year will retire soon, and he made clear that he will not be able to write me a new letter next year. This is one of the reasons why I want to study masters immediately after my bachelor's.

Should I really work for 2 years before applying? However, I don't know if a letter from an employer would be more helpful than that from a professor who is an established researcher and knows me well for 2 years. I would appreciate some advice.

I'm not sure what an LLM at NYU would add to your career at this early stage? I hear stories that a lot of commercial law firms might view a CV unfavorably if it is too heavy on the academic study of law rather than real-world practice. My personal opinion is that you should work for at least 2-3 years before pursuing an LLM. But each to their own!

I'm applying to NYU. Lawyer from Australia. 6 years PQE in commercial litigation. Already admitted to the New York Bar. Just want to step back from legal practice and delve deeper into the subjects relevant to litigation (through the lens of US litigation practice). My grades for my LLB were pretty mediocre, but am faithful that my extensive professional experience will overcome that. I already have an LLM from Australia which GPA of over 70% and passed the New York Bar on my first attempt (with a score of over 70%). We shall see what happens!

Is anyone having trouble with the application status portal? I cannot login (the website doesnt load). I received the email with the username and password, but the link does not work.

Same thing with the link, but if you go to the status checker on NYU's official website, it goes through. https://www.law.nyu.edu/graduateadmissions/review-and-decisions See to the left.
