Got notice. Congrats!

so, i guess i should be worried since i did not receive an email. Probably sent rejections by post.

are you two foreign or domestic?

does anyone have news on whether they have gotten the approval from the NY bar so that graduates of nyu@nus can write the NY bar exam?

So far, not yet. The NYU@NUS will not qualify for the NY Bar. The school says they are still working on it.

I got accepted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just received an email with the offer of admission to NYU@NUS and a grant for $35,000!!!!!!! I'm so happy I can't even start describing the feeling. Good luck to everyone else and I'll see you in Singapore!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Dear guys,

I also received similar e-mail as BCC but i'm rather perplexed by the lightning speed of the process of my application.
First, i submitted my application way after the Dec 1 deadline - 15 Dec to be precise. i remember calling the NYU Board of Graduates on Dec 16 and was verbally informed that my application is out of time, and hence will not be considered. i thought that was the end of the matter and i witheld the payment of the registration fee. I am suprised my application is even processed without me having to pay for the registration fee.
Second, if i remember correctly, i did not applied for scholarships in my application form because i was resigned to not getting any and i didn't want to write another personal statement. but, guess what, like BCC, i am offered US$35,000 grant.
Can anyone enlighten me on:
1) the lightning speed of the process of my application;
2) the genuineness of the offer; and
3) does the term 'grant' denotes scholarship or it's just another form of loan? In my country, grant is sometimes understood as government loan.

on a separate note, i hold a first in my law degree.

I got the same $35k package as well w/o applying for scholarship. I'm pretty sure from the email that the $35k is not a loan, I guess they really do have a lot of money!

I applied for NYU (in NY) as 1st choice and NYU@NUS as 2nd choice, admitted to both... but there's no scholarship under NY option... I'm quite torn as to where I should go now...

Congratulations! You say that you also got admitted to NYU in NY? I have applied for there and was just interested to know when you received their decision and at what date you applied? Once again, congrats to all those that got in.

Hi! I'm from Panama (Latin America) and I sent my application on October 20th, completed my file by November 8th and received notification from NYU that my file was complete by November 15th.
I did apply for the Singapura Scholarship but in the papers that I got there is no mention of it. They just say that they are able to offer me a grant of $35K to cover most of the tuition costs for NYU@NUS.
I was wondering, how many of those admitted will actually pursue the LLM in Singapore?
Happy Holidays to all of you!

Hi All, Does anybody know if NYU will surely send out confirmation indicating that the applicaiton is complete? I sent out my application on the very last day. So far haven't heard anything from them. No confirmation.
Second, I thought the decision for NYU will come out much later. But now it does not seem so. Does anybody know the correct time frame?
Thank you!

Hi karrie808, i never received any notification from NYU too. the e-mail indicating my successful application is the only notification i received.

Hi BCC, do you know the actual tuition fees for NYU@NUS programme? the e-mail seems to say that we may have to fork out extra fees to cover the shortfall in the grant. what about our living expenses?

UT: I applied November 20ish, received complete application notification on 19 Dec, admission letter 23 Dec.
Good luck to you!!!

Karrie808: I think the NYU decision comes sooner if you applied for both NYU & NYU@NUS, as they have to make the NYU@NUS decisions first. If you only applied to NYU I think the decision will probably only be out in April as they say on the website.

Karrie: I got an e-mail from Graduate Admissions confirming that my application was complete - it's an automatically generated e-mail. I applied in the last days (applied on-line on the last Monday, materials reached on the very last day) and received an e-mail confirming that the application was complete on 30th November. When reviewing the application, the Commitee on Graduate Admissions realised that I had electronically attached the resume twice, once instead of the personal statement. Therefore, I had an e-mail on 4th December requesting that I immediately fax them the resume which I did - the following day, I received a second application complete e-mail on 6th December.

So, there is an e-mail that you should receive at some stage confirming that your application is complete.

Hey Michelle/ BCC. I am planning to apply to NYU in 08 as a fresher. Are you guys aware of the tuition fees at NYU and NYU@NUS. Did either of you get a waiver at NYU? Are you guys freshers from law school? If not, how do you rate a fresher's chance to walk in at NYU.

Don't worry. It might be an idea to e-mail graduate admissions just enquiring about receipt of materials but in all honesty, they will personally e-mail you if there is anything wrong with the application. Therefore, do not place too much emphasis on the e-mail confirming that your application is complete - it is merely computer generated. As I said before, if the Comittee of Graduate Admissions finds anything missing with your application upon review, they will e-mail you requesting that information irrespective of confirmation that the application was complete. So, they are very helpful in this respect.

VA 1993: Tuition for NY & NYU@NUS is the same.

Courtesy of "Goodluck":
cost of tuition is in the afternoon transcript of the online information session..."the tuition and fees for the 2007-2008 academic year will be set in late May 2007. The current year cost of attendance for a full time LL.M. student is $61,485. Approximately $40,150 of the cost of attendance is for tuition and mandatory fees."
