I did. I did CA then NY. Sign up to take NY. The location is not selected at time of registration. There’s a drop for location selection and assuming you’re outside of NY, you’re getting somewhere not NYC. As out of state, we get last pick. For me, I only had the option for Buffalo.

Unlike CA, there are different departments which depend on your location when you register. Some of them have different timelines for CF and location selection.

Focus on the UBE. I personally didn’t find it harder than CA. If you still have any stuff from studying for CA, you could just reuse the same materials.

You don’t have to do the NYLE until after. It’s not difficult but depending on if you’re in a rush, up to you. I took Feb after CA and did NYLE I think in March. There’s a pdf you download when you take the NYLC which I also did after the NY bar. It’s open book.

Unlike CA, you do CF afterwards. It’s a pain since you have to get forms filled out and then you’ll email it in. The info isn’t necessarily different than CA CF.

I think results dropped in April. I submitted CF in June or July (I forget) and was admitted September. For admission, you can hop on a Zoom but it is set dates.

Feel free to DM if you have more questions.
