Completing Your J.S.D. Application
Review of Applications
Applications are not reviewed until all required materials and the application fee have been received.
Applicants currently enrolled in non-U.S. law schools that use a final examination result (such as a final state examination) or a final degree classification as a measure of academic performance may not receive a decision until those results are received by the Committee on Graduate Admissions.
No guarantees can be made concerning applications received after the deadline; such applications may be returned unprocessed.
Full-time LL.M. Applicants
The Committee on Graduate Admissions will apply the same standard of admission for applicants to New York City and to Singapore. Admission to all specializations in New York City and in Singapore are equally competitive.
NYU@NUS begins in May. Therefore, decisions regarding NYU@NUS will be communicated to applicants as they are made. The Committee on Graduate admissions will begin reviewing applications at the end of September and will send decisions on a rolling basis through January 15 to all applicants who complete their applications by the December 1 deadline. Qualified applicants have a better chance of admission and scholarship the sooner they apply and complete their applications. Those admitted to NYU@NUS also simultaneously will pursue an NUS LL.M. degree. Although the Committee on Admissions at NUS will review and evaluate applications to NYU@NUS for purposes of admission to the NUS LL.M. program, it is very likely that those admitted to the NYU LL.M. in Singapore will be admitted to the NUS LL.M. degree program. The NYU School of Law Online Application is sufficient to be considered for both the NYU and NUS LL.M. degrees. Those applications to NYU@NUS not completed by the deadline may be considered following completion of their file provided that room remains in the program.
Decisions regarding the full-time LL.M. program in New York City will be communicated in early to mid-March to applicants with foreign education credentials who supply all materials necessary to complete their files by the December 1 deadline, without preference as to date of application. Those foreign applicants who do not supply materials to complete their application by the December 1 deadline will receive decisions as they are made following completion of their file. All decisions for foreign applicants to the LL.M. program in New York City will be communicated by late June.
Applicants with domestic education credentials who complete their application by the April 1 deadline will receive decisions regarding the full-time LL.M. program in New York City as they are made, without preference as to date of application. All domestic applicants to full-time programs will receive a decision no later than late June.
J.S.D. Applicants
All J.S.D. applicants who supply all materials required to complete their files by the January 1, 2008 deadline will be mailed a decision no later than late April.
Part-time LL.M. Applicants
Decisions for part-time enrollment for the Spring semester will be made as soon as possible following completion of an applicant's file. Decisions for part-time enrollment for the Fall semester will be mailed no later than late August.
