Who will turn NYU offers down? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I will turn the offer down. I was admitted to Columbia and Oxford, and I´ll go to Oxford. So, you can take my place if you want!;)

did you contact both NYU and Columbia to let them know you won't be attending their universities ?

No yet. I´m appliying for scholarships, so I don´t want to make it official yet.

Darin, you should inform NYU and Columbia ASAP that you will turn down the offer, because there are a lot of people in the NYU waitlist (like me!) and that would help us a LOT!

Thanks dude.

they turned me down before i do it

I will also be turning down NYU as soon as I receive HLS admission and fin aid package.

I'll turn NYU down for Chicago.

I turned down NYU and will go to CLS.

I was admitted to Columbia and Oxford, and I´ll go to Oxford.

Instead of arguing for Oxfords BCL/MJur, I should rather ask a friendly but equally provoking question what makes NYU or CLS of the best in the world quality? What is so shocking about Oxford? And what about Yale, Harvard or Cambridge?
I do not find Oxford lists dull to the contrary, they are at the cutting edge, always demanding, thought-provoking and top of the game in the respective fields. As to the quality of faculty no comments needed, indeed.
Most importantly, at Oxford there are tutorials. Very personal, in the group of three or four. Is the quality of discussion the same, e.g., in 450 or something class at NYU, without tutorials?

I am curious to hear what makes Oxford so shockingly not a good choice.

I must admitt that preferring Oxford over NYU or CLS is quite shocking. The perspectives you'll have with a US top law school LL.M. are quite interesting. The quality of education - best in the world.

Why Oxford??

Admitted to HLS, turned down NYU two days ago.
Good luck to all of you.

Look, I will go to HLS and never applied to oxford,

MichalP:

Sorry to be impolite, but you're off your rocker. First off, Oxford (like Cambridge) is consistently cited as one of the best law faculties in the world, right up there with Harvard and Yale. The very fact that you compare Oxford to Glasgow or Edinburgh really shows that you're not well informed on this point.

NYU and Columbia are obviously great schools but it is quite understandable for someone to choose Oxford over them, as gar33's appropriate reaction to your unusual assertions demonstrated.

For example, from an academic perspective, it is quite easy to justify applying to an American LLM, as well as Oxford or Cambridge at the same time. And, in addition, from this same academic perspective one cans see why Oxford is the better choice (but of course this is debatable, depending on the person's field of interest, etc).

On the other hand, if I was interested in landing a job in law firm, I'd probably prefer an American LLM. But again, it is all up to the personal interests of the applicant.

I'm sure this post is going to start a flame war, which was never my intention. Rather, I felt obliged to take michalp to task for his bizarre ideas about the quality of education/experience that a student would obtain at Oxon.

Dear Michal,

As to the form please kindly pay attention to whom you are replying. I am not Darin.

As to the substance no comments.

Cheers,
