Also decision letter mailed today. Heres hoping we dont have to wait on the mail too long!

[NYVA311]

Decision letter mailed today as well! Hope these are not rejections/waitlists! Looks like the people who had very high numbers and got $$ were accepted before Christmas, maybe we're the average group who will just get accepted.

[fulkersonr1]

Hope not. For Northeastern to really be an option for me Ill have to get some $$$.

[NYVA311]

Gotcha, I'm just expecting to get in. You have numbers above their medians? Did you apply EA as well or RD?

Applied EA. GPA < 25%, LSAT > 75%.

LSAT > 75%? I can't imagine that's a rejection/waitlist unless your GPA is very low. I'm excited to find out though, first school that I would consider a target!

Good luck! Hope you get in! Northeastern would be great with the co-op program. Honestly Im expecting an acceptance but am not sure whether I will get any $.

[NYVA311]

Thanks, and good luck with $$. A high LSAT is usually the deciding factor for $$ so hopefully you'll get something.

Bump. Anyone else receive this notification today?

Yep! LSAT > 75%; GPA < 25%

I got my EA letter. I was deferred to regular admission. I was kind of shocked (160/3.85) because I was admitted to Villanova yesterday. Oh well, just more waiting I guess.

[OGR3]

Deferred as well. The letter was postmarked the day before my status changed (1/7) but the letter was dated 1/8.

Mine was postmarked the 7th as well, but dated the 8th.

[stoicjustice]

I saw the "Decision was mailed" update yesterday as well. I am not EA and GPA<25%, LSAT slightly above 25% - interesting softs.

[oberlin08]

Deferred to Regular Decision. But I got into Suffolk as well today so at least I'm going SOMEWHERE

[Queenjane87]

Do you live in Mass? I wonder how long I'll have to wait to hear. Congrats on Suffolk!

[oberlin08]

No, I live in D.C.

[jbarl1]

Nope I live in western New York.

I'm really starting to lean towards Northeastern, mostly because I think a co-op experience would really suit me, as opposed to just classes all the way through. My concern is that a friend of mine attends Northeastern undergrad, and decided to do so mostly because of the co-op. Because of the economy or whatever reason the school wasn't able to connect him successfully to any jobs related to his field (architecture) during one of the co-op terms, and he ended up working in a pizza place for 6 months (he received co-op credit for this). Are there any Northeastern Law students on here? Or anybody with information regarding this possible disaster? Could this happen to me if I attend, or do they guarantee you placement?

I've heard stories like this with the undergrad. A friend was an electrical engineering major and their internship was at radioshak.. this was post 2008 so it was when the economy was good.

I don't think we should expect a really good/paid 1st or even 2nd internship but I doubt it will be anything completely unrelated! I've heard all good things so far but of course you have to be aware that the first one probably wont be anything special.

NUSL grad here. You are guaranteed a placement since it's a requirement for your co-op that you do actual legal work, supervised by an attorney. You might not get the specialty or type of employer that you want, but you WILL be doing legal work. Most students do end up with unpaid first co-ops, usually because they're clerking for a judge or working for a non-profit instead of a firm. I was lucky that my first co-op was paid and I only had to take one unpaid which was still a great experience.
