screw NU interview up, is there no chance to get into?
AJD applicant. took on-campus interview last week. preform very bad. Frustrated!
I have excellent test grade, GPA (much higher than last year admitted student average )and solid 6 years management working experience. Is there any chance I still can get into?
Thanks!

yes. The interview is important, but not THAT important. Unless you said things like, "I want to be a lawyer so I can defend myself from pedophilia charges."

Thanks. My problem is: I am a international applicant and my spoken english is broken……homestyle28 wrote:yes. The interview is important, but not THAT important. Unless you said things like, "I want to be a lawyer so I can defend myself from pedophilia charges."

I speak with a lot of people from the Belgium area who always believe they are terrible at English and really struggle but in fact do quite well. It's just perception because you are comparing your 2nd language to how well you speak in your first or how well a native English speaker does. I'm sure you'll be considered still if your numbers are competitive and you have experience.

this definitely works in your favor; I'm sure they understand the constraints/difficulties interviewing in your second language. If your numbers are competitive, I wouldn't sweat ittime_older wrote:Thanks. My problem is: I am a international applicant and my spoken english is broken……homestyle28 wrote:yes.

time_older, you'll be fine! I bet you didn't do as badly as you imagined, like another poster said. They will understand that English isn't your first language. Relax and let us know if you get in

I have a friend who vomited just before her interview due to a hangover and had her interviewer call her out on smelling like booze. Go NU class of 2013!
