Northwestern Interview - How important is it? Forum

Does it reduce my chances significantly if I forgo this process?

Yes.

It's not an absolute requirement unless you're a college senior, but it might as well be.

I received a fee waiver and my LSAT is not even in their median. (167)

Am I applying just to be rejected?

I received a fee waiver and my LSAT is not even in their bottom 25th. (164)

Is your GPA above 3.75? If so you are probably an autoreject, but its worth a shot. If its before 3.7 I wouldn't waste the 12 bucks.

no. plus they no longer offer off-campus interview this late into the process. so why are they sending out fee waivers?

To decrease their acceptance rate. It takes all of 1-2 minutes to process a rejection. Don't waste the time and $12.

They probably sent it to a lot of people. The interview isn't what will get you, its have two numbers below the median. That is auto reject almost everything, unless you are a URM, or cured aids.

Even if you have an above-median GPA, 164 is too low. If you have extensive, impressive WE, then it might be worth the $12. Otherwise, they're just padding their numbers.

Really? are law schools really that full of themselves? Send out fee waivers knowing the applicants won't get in just to boost their selectivity?
