Thought y'all might appreciate some scenery from campus today. The courtyard with a couple of inches of snow.

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
Tell me about it. I filled it out for Northwestern first and right when I was about to pay for it I realized that I should just go ahead and add all the other schools I was applying to. And since each school as their own little questions that they sneak in there I had to basically go through the whole application again checking line by line to see what boxes that I "missed." When I finally was ready I realized that I missed just ONE more school and when I saw that 100% complete drop to 82% complete without any indication where all the "missing" boxes were I was ready to kick a dog.feralinfant wrote:In case you were wondering....Need Access sucks.

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
Hey all! I'm AJD, but I'm really hoping to be at Northwestern in May!
For the AJD program, I would be moving to Chicago probably around May 10th (give or take a week). How far in advance can I / should I start looking for an apartment? I want to live in one of the cheaper neighborhoods (not streeterville). When does spring semester end for students? I assume I will be there too early to sublet for the summer and find a place in the fall.

Anyone have any insight into the accepted students weekend agenda?

If I remember correctly, it started about 8:30am or something both days. Various large group presentations (welcome, financial aid, clerkships, public interest, international study opportunities, etc.), sitting in on an actual class, a mock class only with 0L admits, small groups with current students, campus and area tour, and a ticket to see Wigmore Follies.
Anything more specific than that?

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
That's helpful. I currently live in Chicago, nearby the school but an old friend wants to visit that weekend. I can probably make all of Friday, but wanted to know what Saturday schedule was like to see what I could skip/how long it goes. Thanks for the insight! I appreciate all the feedback you've given on this and the other c/o 2016 thread so far.rinkrat19 wrote:Insight how?onionz wrote:Anyone have any insight into the accepted students weekend agenda?

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
Friday is definitely a full day and evening (plus people usually go out after Wigmore) of activities, but I want to say Saturday ended some time in the early afternoon both of the last 2 years. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong.onionz wrote:That's helpful. I currently live in Chicago, nearby the school but an old friend wants to visit that weekend.

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
You fill it out for all schools at once, so I had to do it regardless. But yeah, I think NU didn't ask. It must have been one of the others. I just checked them all off, whether I was already in or not, so I'd never have to look at that shit again.rinkrat19 wrote:NU doesn't care about parent info, right?shntn wrote:I always feel like such a tool for having no information for the non-custodial parent, which is just -_-.feralinfant wrote:In case you were wondering....Need Access sucks.
Until next year, anyway.

I know, I know, but I've spent enough time at NU by now that I already know what's up. I've never ventured to the South Side to see if the rumors are true, so I figured I owed them at least that much.elibrarian wrote:As you should be. We are much less socially awkward.

Re: Northwestern Class of 2016
Thats fair. Being from the Southside I feel no need to explore it. At least come take a tour/talk to us when you're in town!shntn wrote:I know, I know, but I've spent enough time at NU by now that I already know what's up.
