[JDndMSW]

Me too! I actually really fell in love with them when I found out how amazing their MSW/JD program is. I am unsure if I will even apply to it anymore but I still am very interested in the school!

[emkay625]

tag. does having over a 170 make this a safety? being a splitter is so weird: every school ranked higher than WUSTL is a reach but WUSTL is a safety?

Yep, that's how it works. Per last cycle's LSN graph, there were 0 denials and 1 WL for applicants with a 168+. Northwestern is practically a lock with WE and 172+, but a splitter won't get into lower-ranked schools like UT/UCLA/USC. Alls I know is that if these splitter-friendly schools didn't exist, I'd be screwed, so I'm very thankful they do.

Has anyone had any success soliciting a fee waiver from here? The people in the fee waiver thread haven't seemed to get any responses.

I submitted my app on the 15th but it is the only one that still shows "transmitted" but not complete on my lsac profile. Anyone else have this issue?
