I applied to the JD/MBA program with only a GMAT too. I took the LSAT for other schools, but NU has no idea what my score is. Kinda weird, I agree.curepure wrote:I applied for AJD with GMAT, I kinda feel awkward competing with LSAT takers..

The only time I've heard of employers asking for grad school test scores is when management consulting firms ask for your test scores...but they ask for any test scores you have starting from your SAT'sdolfan0516 wrote:lolcurepure wrote:future employers might ask, so you went to law school, what's your lsat?

Never for legal interviews though, right? I never had to take the SAT

Not implying that this is in any way the norm, but it looks like it does happen: http://abovethelaw.com/2011/02/kl-gates ... sat-score/alwayssunnyinfl wrote:Never for legal interviews though, right? I never had to take the SAT

Although, it says nothing about the regular SAT, so I'm probably good

I never took the SAT either, and the only interview where I was verbally asked my SAT score was one where I didn't get the job....alwayssunnyinfl wrote:Never for legal interviews though, right? I never had to take the SAT

I would be shocked if any law firm was concerned with your SAT score. It seems like a really silly way to evaluate someone's skills as a lawyer by looking at the score of a test they took at 17 years old.HawkeyeGirl wrote:I never took the SAT either, and the only interview where I was verbally asked my SAT score was one where I didn't get the job....alwayssunnyinfl wrote:Never for legal interviews though, right?

Agreed, but law schools care about our college GPAs which started at age 18 and for some people are 5-10 years old.timeandspace11 wrote:I would be shocked if any law firm was concerned with your SAT score.

Checking in. Applied last week and scheduled my interview for late Feb. Will that mean they hold my app until then, and, if so, is that potentially more detrimental than not interviewing?

Re: Northwestern Law C/O 2016 (2012-2013 Applicants)
Late february is pretty late...unless you have stellar numbers I would suggest trying to get an earlier off-campus interview (assuming you did on-campus originally). If you can't then I'm leaning towards just not doing the interview. I know it's conventional wisdom to just wait for the interview for NU..but in this case..late February is basically the end of the cycle as far as initial decisions.drive4showLSAT4dough wrote:Checking in.

my current job (at a law firm, not as a lawyer obviously) asked me my LSAT score, but only because I had "LSAT instructor" on my résumé

Can't request off-campus after 12/1, so I've scheduled an on-campus. Any other opinions on whether late review with interview is worse than slightly less late review without interview?cgw wrote:Only off-campus interviews.

Really? I thought you can't request on-campus after 12/1. I requested my off-campus interview at 12/6 and they assigned me the interviewer at 1/5.

So some time in the last couple hours they opened up a ton of On-Campus interview slots. Just in time for flights to go up by over $100

It doesn't say anything on their website about a deadline for requesting on campus interviews. Only off-campus.

Re: Northwestern Law C/O 2016 (2012-2013 Applicants)
Hey all. AJD app here.
Any fellow AJDs heard anything? I know they guarantee a decision by 2/1 so I'm guessing our turnaround will be fairly quick. I know from talking to them that they don't review ANY AJD apps before 1/15 hence it's not rolling admissions for the prog. I do wonder with declining LSAT test takers how many applicants the prog will get this year. Last year there were 100, 38 admitted and I believe 28 matriculated.
EDIT: re the person who scheduled the interview for feb. hopefully you're not looking to apply AJD since the deadline was to be COMPLETE (i.e not just sent the app by then) by 1/15 and all decisions for AJDs will be mailed by 2/1
