众所周知，NY bar近年做了不少调整，包括设定PRO BONO50个小时，evaluation过程强调课时等等。我恰好是今年7月要考BAR，遇到了材料准备上的一些新情况，希望给今年和之后有同样遭遇的申请者以参考。

本人情况，ECUPL国际法学院小本，大三半年英国交流。ECUPL国际法学院无被deny的先例。

情况一：要求部分申请者额外提供成绩单与课时证明。邮件节选如下：

Please be advised that the Board is unable to determine your eligibility under Section 520.6 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals based on the documents furnished to date. Rule 520.6 (b) (1) requires successful completion of law school study that is at least substantially equivalent in duration to that required under subdivisions (c)(1)(i) and (ii) and (d)(2) of Rule 520.3. If your official transcript does not clearly confirm that your law degree was based on classroom study that is substantially equivalent in duration to the number of credits and hours of instruction as required by Rule 520.3, then it will be necessary for you to provide a written statement from your law school or schools confirming the credits per subject and the total number of hours of instruction time per subject successfully completed during your program of study.

1.该情况不多见也不罕见，在NYU大约有3-5名左右的同学被要求出示这份材料。具体应对就是让学院出个证明材料，按照它的要求来，把课时什么的说清楚了就行。

2.这一要求是第一次出现，至少针对华政国际法与法律学院。但是同一学院同一年份的人有的被要求出示，有的并没有被要求。而出国交流并不是一个核心原因，因为华政有和我同时去同一学校交流的小本，没有被如此要求；也有未出国交流的本科毕业生被要求出示这些材料的。我私下猜测因负责评估的人而异，换句话说，看人品。

3.交完材料后一个礼拜左右对方会给答复。

情况二：【绝大多数】情况一的申请者平稳的度过了这一轮，少数几个（说的就是我）在一礼拜后等来的，是继续补充材料的要求，邮件节选如下：

To determine that your course of study was substantially equivalent in duration to the number of credits and hours in professional law subjects as required by Rule 520.3, it will be necessary for you to provide a written statement from your school indicating the title of your thesis, its subject matter, the total number of credits that were awarded for it, the semester it was completed, and the name of the faculty member under whose supervision it was completed. If you completed more than one thesis, please have your school provide a written statement for each thesis.

1.针对的是毕业论文。我当时挺郁闷的，直接打电话给了BOLE，对方先是和相关工作人员确定了这封邮件，告知了我他们的目的是觉得我的分不够，如果毕业论文能被证明是法律相关的话，算是帮我努力靠向那个基准线了。我感谢了他们并提出了自己的疑惑（毕竟这绝对是第一次见到这样的要求）然后和他们解释了我们的分数情况。大家和和气气挂了电话，我就开始草拟那个文件了，就在这个时候，我接到了一封邮件。邮件告诉我，我的申请被approve了...挺醉的。

2.这个虽然是小概率事件，但也不止我一个人中奖。另外一个同学也顺利完成了这个，也祝她攒够人品啦。明天MPRE加油。

Tips：

1.如果交了材料，六个月满了，务必一定绝对(并没有重复）要检查垃圾邮箱，别问我为什么知道...

2.不要慌乱，这里有个好处就是啥都可以argue。心平气和打个电话过去了解情况，比干着急有用多了。

这个帖子是材料准备贴，CostLLM已经将问题说的相当清晰了。供参考。
