If you apply AJD, and don't get into that program, do you just get held for regular admission?

Question-- just heard back from my interviewer and the soonest we can do the interview is Feb 7. That works for me, since I have to travel to get there, but will that be way too late? My LSAT is >75% and my GPA is 25%-50% and I have several years WE. Everything is in except the interview.

Awesome! Thanks!pompoms wrote:Yesmirroroferised7 wrote:If you apply AJD, and don't get into that program, do you just get held for regular admission?
I had a weird application on my LSAC applications page that automatically popped up after submitting my NU AJD app. It was a "paper" application that I was supposed to print out and mail in. Was worried that I would have to submit a second app for regular admissions and that was NU's subtle way of telling me I wasn't going to get AJD.

Checking in after just having my interview! Thought it went well and the interviewer was very nice. Lasted for an hour: 15 minutes were spent talking about why LS, why now, writing, leadership; 45 minutes were spent on selling me on NU. Super excited about the prospect of attending!
A big thanks to all who posted their interview experiences and common questions asked. It really helped!

ED hold here. Didn't hear back yet.monsterman wrote:Were there any ED holds that heard back today?
GPA < 25th. LSAT > 75th.
Does anyone know how the ED hold people get the next decision? Email? Phone? Still checking my status checker religiously...

I was checking status checker for a while but sometimes I would forget which school I was checking and the "decision letter available within 24 hours" would freak me out for a split second. Got my hopes up too many times and had to stop checking. Not sure how it will be communicated.AstonMartin177 wrote:ED hold here.

From you earlier posts you were saying you think the second round may be next week?fivestarfolds wrote:Nuts! I was feeling so confident after my JS1 invite.
I can't remember what happened last year on the second big round of admissions but I have a feeling I'm headed for a waitlist/hold.

I would bet my life on it. Every cycle for the past few years has had a consistent rollout of weekly decisions from mid-Jan to February.SplitMyPants wrote:From you earlier posts you were saying you think the second round may be next week?fivestarfolds wrote:Nuts!

What happens (as far as I'm seeing from the MY LSN data) is if you were a Nov-Jan submitter, your gonna be in the second or third round of decisions. If you (like me) are an September-October submitter, then next week's round of decisions are likely not going to be too great.
MY LSN is down but I believe my analysis is correct.
I was so blindsided by the silence from NU yesterday but I guess that I have very little work experience to speak of so I may not actually be a good fit for them. I live in their neighborhood and have for nearly two years but I might be moving to Hyde Park depending on U of C's decision

Thanks for clarifying. I was a Nov submitter, so I'm holding out hope.

Has anyone else skimmed through this?

Some interesting charts on page 9-12 which show the skills they (a) believe are necessary for successful new lawyers and (b) which of those skills they are looking through the admissions process for their admits to already have.

Caveat: the Great Plan of 2008 was created under the last dean.

Haha! Very important caveat that I did not know. Is it still in place? I guess I would assume so, since they linked to it on the admitted students website.rinkrat19 wrote:Caveat: the Great Plan of 2008 was created under the last dean.

Re: Northwestern Law c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle)
I mean, sort of? Some of it was implemented, some of it wasn't, and there isn't a new plan (yet?). The new dean has kept some of Dean VanZ's pet issues going (like the work experience, although it has softened somewhat to maintain the medians). But others, like VanZ's predilection for hiring faculty with PhD instead of JDs, are getting sort of let go (I think?).lawschool22 wrote:Haha! Very important caveat that I did not know.

But I wouldn't go into my on-campus interview spouting quotes from the 2008 Plan.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
