<p>i'm going to be a poli sci major, and i'm debating if i should attend berkeley or nyu. i'm most likely going to go to law school after, and i was wondering if anyone knows where i can find statistics about what law schools nyu alums are accepted to..?</p>
<p>I'd also like to know the answer to this.</p>
<p>I'd assume NYU law school is a top choice, being its ranked so well and it's part of NYU...</p>
<p>they get accepted to the top 5 for sure, because i came across it while i was researching the school, so if they can get into top 5 they can get in anywhere. also nyu law reviews undergrad applicants early and notifies them of their decision before everyone else, that is an advantage, but that does not necessarily mean that NYU law has a special prefererence for kids from the undergrad NYU schools. same way Columbia is not going to give any special preference to Columbia undergrads. nyu law admission do know well the schools, the difficulty in course material and that might be to your advantage or disadvantage. if you do well, the sky(Harvard) is the limit.</p>
<p>My Gallatin pamphlet lists Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, Harvard, NYU, UChicago, UTexas, Wake Forest, and Yale. I'd think the other NYU undergrad schools have a similar record.</p>
<p>Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that besides NYU's prestigous reputation for its undergrads, the pre-law program allows you to intern and find law firms in NYC that will give up quite a leg up in the whole process. Then when applications to law school come around, you already know which law school you prefer; whether it's Columbia, NYU, Harvard, etc.</p>
<p>Taking things from a reverse point of view...</p>
<p>According to the guy I know in NYU Law, NYU kids don't easily get in. Half of it is the general way grad schools do things - grad schools generally prefer taking other schools' undergrads to faciliate the exchange of academic ideas and culture. The other half is that kids who get into NYU Law also tend to get into Harvard, Yale, and other top-notch schools.</p>
<p>I though I read in another thread that NYU Undergrad is the second biggest feeder schoool for NYU Law! So how come there are two different stories to that?</p>
<p>its is according to UGADMISSION, she must be a credible source.</p>
<p>according to Professor Calderon, the prelaw advisor & Business Law professor at Stern, only about 1 person from stern gets accepted to NYULaw each year - and about 2 from CAS.</p>
<p>I remeber her saying that it's almost the same for other top law schools (Harvard, Columbia...) and that we should look for schools that are not in the top 10.</p>

you can listen/watch to the pre-law workshop session.. the link's at the bottom.</p>
<p>How could that be true? NYU law school accepts more than 23 students a year...</p>
<p>If they accepted 2 from each of the top 10 ivy schools (2*10=20), and 1 from stern and 2 from CAS, that would equal 23 students. So you're telling me that the other 350 people that attend NYU law school come from lesser unviersities? I think not...</p>
<p>UGADMISSION posted that NYU was the second largest feeder school into NYU law after Harvard. Unless she is lying, your statement is not true.</p>
<p>Undergraduate Schools of J.D. Students Enrolled at Harvard Law School in 2005-2006</p>
<p>232 havard u-grads. And 17 NYU u-grads.</p>
