Is Northwestern worth attending?
Are the job prospects for an NU Law grad strong? I know the current legal market is in shambles, but is NU Law still offering a realistic shot at Biglaw?

Re: Is Northwestern worth attending?
Northwestern University places well in biglaw & is worth attending. Check NLJ 250 (National Law Journal) placement to compare NU with other elite US law schools regarding placement into the nation's 250 largest law firms.
Whether or not Northwestern is the best choice for you depends upon several factors including your other law school options & the geographic markets that you are targeting.
As a sidenote, it is quite difficult to get admitted to Northwestern without a year or two of post college work experience. Many posters have written that NU "requires" two years of post undergraduate work experience. If accurate, then NU is the only law school which requires post-BA/BS work experience.

Northwestern University School of Law students are permitted to take courses in NU's MBA program which complements the work experience mandate.

Is this sarcasm? It is so disparate from 95% of the information on the web. Fro what i have read and heard, NU has promising job prospects, even in the coveted biglaw market.yngblkgifted wrote:Northwestern is a shit hole and I wouldn't go if they paid me. T14 my ass, more like T11.

1/3 of people who want biglaw will not get it. That number is not materially different from any other non-HYS T14. Even at CLS/NYU 1/4 of people who want biglaw will not get it.

Northwestern outperforms it ranking a little bit on NLJ stats, so it's definitely a good place to go for biglaw.

If you come straight from UG, Northwestern has about a 1% chance of accepting you. Honestly, you could probably have a 4.0 and 180 and get denied.CanadianWolf wrote:Northwestern University places well in biglaw & is worth attending.

Whether or not Northwestern is the best choice for you depends upon several factors including your other law school options & the geographic markets that you are targeting.
As a sidenote, it is quite difficult to get admitted to Northwestern without a year or two of post college work experience.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
