Wow this is heartbreaking. I'm not very good at serious, feelings-based stuff, but I'm sorry man.

I would recommend re-watching the Reliant Robin Top Gear episode. It never fails to make me laugh.

I'm sorry to read about the holds today, but I have advice for everyone, who has been held. If you really want NU, then the hold gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your interest/commitment to the school. If you have legitimate reasons for wanting NU and you clarify those reasons through LOCIs and your hold response form, then you will be admitted. If they read your LOCI/Hold stuff as being generic things that everyone is writing (prestige, Chicago, small class size) then it won't make any difference. NU has all sorts of interesting offerings for you to research. Have you let them know why exactly you want to go there?

Held as well. Not unexpected: non-URM, GPA 25-50, LSAT 50, non-earth shattering WE. We'll see if the Feb. retake helps!

Looks like here comes another round!

Checked at about noon and was not DLA. Didn't check until just now.

Was held as an ED applicant 12/19, still haven't gotten any news since. I submitted a LOCI and additional letter of rec. Has anyone in my shoes heard anything at this point?

omzster67 · Post by **omzster67** » Thu Feb 06, 2014 6:24 pm

Just went DLA in last ten minutes. No letter available yet though. >25th LSAT >75th GPA

Pretty certain it'll end up being a held notice.

I'm in your shoes. Some ED helds were accepted last week, but I haven't heard anything yet either

What does DLA stand for again? Couldn't find it in the TLS Abbreviations sticky...

And it's not in the sticky b/c it's pretty much specific to Northwestern.

Hope you're right!

Has that been the trend when he posts that?
