I got an A yesterday

I plugged in their normal 40k/scholly, and with living costs and everything else, I'd be $600 short every month lol So I'm gonna have to turn them down unless they raise the scholly to ~$58k or more
18:30
I gave them a call specifying that I applied in September and have heard nothing since going under review, and the admissions office representative sent an A email a little later.

I applied to NYLS back the first week of Dec and my application has been waiting for 2 months now to be reviewed. Unsure of when I should reach out to them. I don't want to be pushy put seat deposits are stressing me out.
Yeah I’ve been ur since early Dec and reached out a few times, just keeping hearing that some results will be soon
I got WL :(
Hey that’s not bad! Could’ve been a rejection! When did you apply?

Hey if it makes you guys feel better, I applied in October, got waitlisted in December, and I'm in the top 6 for LSAT score among applicants reported here on LSD. It doesn't always make sense I'd say.
