I’m applying for admission to NY by transferred UBE score. Live in NJ but work in Manhattan. I was told that if I submit something showing I work in the city I will be certified to the First Department rather than the Third. Other than the location of the interview and the ceremony, are there any substantial differences between the departments? I am admitted in two other states so I don’t anticipate any issues but I’d like to get this done easily and quickly.

If they do live ceremonies anytime soon, do you want to commute to 25th street or Albany? That’s the only meaningful difference.

3rd is the district where all non-NY employed people must apply for admission so I imagine the wait time there is longer than any other department.

I'm not sure how it is for transfer admissions, but First Department was far slower than the Third Department for initial admissions after taking the bar.

The First Department also requires you to take a pre-admission virtual seminar (though you get CLE credit for it, so it's not all bad).

Only really an issue if you have to haul your ass to Albany for the bar exam, which it sounds like you don’t. Or, as said above, if live ceremonies come back
