Re: Southwestern
Just had the interview with the SEC. It went really well I think. I asked for division of investment management because that is where my frame of reference is. My second choice is trading and markets because I don't know a lot about broker dealers and SRO's, but I want to learn. After I explained why I wanted to work for the SEC, there were a couple of interesting questions. First - imagine yourself as chairman of the SEC - what issues need attention? Second - they weren't very familiar with my law school, so they wanted to know more about Southwestern and why I decided to attend. Third - they wanted to know in detail about the volunteer work I've been doing. They gave me credit for my strong grades.

I think Dante's posts are informative because they give you a look at what life at SW would be like...bigmnstyle wrote:More informative posts on questions such as what are numbers you got scholarship money from Southwestern and thoughts on Southwestern, less of the life of Dante--
What you were asking for: 3.4, 155 (non-traditional applicant). No scholarship as of yet.
Visited the school and thought it was great. Seem a bit underrated, but looks like it is on the way up. If you want to work in LA its good, especially in Entertainment Law.

Re: Southwestern
They are informative on how the life at law school will be. There are some questions that have been asked and are still not answered. I will worry about what you do in law school when it comes lol. Now I am wondering about scholarship questions and nobody seems to be able to answer them, even people who have been through the cycle and received scholarships.

Re: Southwestern
Based on the trend it looks like you may get quite a substantial scholarship if you interview well for that scholarship they seem to be giving out...bigmnstyle wrote:so what will a 160 with a 3.3 get ya? Not a penny?

Re: Southwestern
wait listed yesterday. 157/2.9 ... I applied mid Feb so I think I was put on the wait list because I applied so late in the cycle... anyone's thoughts on this?
Also, I took a tour of the school in early Sept.. Do you think it would be wise for me to take another tour so that I can learn even more about the school and then be able to construct a better LOCI? I live in the LA area so it is not a burden to me. Would there be any harm in taking a second tour and meeting with the admissions dept. a second time?

Re: Southwestern
Not necessary. Just make sure they know SW is your number one choice. LOCI should be short and to the point.

Re: Southwestern
Seems like with your numbers you have a great shot of getting in sooner or later. LSN's last cycle has a person (3.2/160) who went complete in Feb and got accepted in May, but generally it looks like they'll have all their decisions by April/May. Feb 19th isn't too long ago, give it 2 or 3 more weeks then you should contact them.vvoc wrote:I applied 11/12/2009 and am still in review as of 2/19 which is getting me a bit worried, SW is my top choice at this point and am hoping to hear back from them soon...does anyone know if they will have most of the decisions out by May 1st? my numbers are 3.14/158 and am becoming increasingly worried that I won't be accepted...anyone have any wisdom? thanks

Re: Southwestern
The standards at the two schools are basically identical. Those numbers should be sufficient, barring some huge surge in applications.Temka wrote:No. I was accepted at SW and waitlisted at Chapman.vvoc wrote:well only reason i worry is that i was waitlisted at chapman...is that any reason for alarm? haha

Re: Southwestern
Here is my appellate brief. Turning it in tomorrow. Pretty sure this will be the highest grade in my class.
The topic is actually quite interesting: outrageous government conduct defense (separate from entrapment).
The defense has only been successful a handful of times in the last 30 years.
