Extracurriculars don't matter too much in law school admissions. 90-95% of it depends on your LSAT+GPA.

But Northwestern practically requires post graduate work experience. So if you want northwestern, you will need to get a full time job after law school for a year or two before going. This isn't true for it's peer schools though.

And I assure you every question you have from here on out can be solved by this

Those extracurriculars are fine. However, unless you have absolutely spectacular numbers, Northwestern will want to see at least a year or two of full-time work experience after undergrad.

From my understanding, Northwestern likes to see lots of extra circulars, such as captaining your ultimate frisbee team, writing a novel (or at least a couple of chapters), forming a fraternity, etc.

Hahaha, that's mean.

But seriously, if you don't want to wait a couple of years after undergrad to get job experience, it's my understanding that Northwestern will accept any professional work experience, even if you did it during undergrad, as long as you worked for a year or two. They're really trying to make work experience mandatory for admission.

After perusing your last thread, I am inevitably led to one of three conclusions:

1) You are an unfunny troll;
2) You are 8 years old; or
3) You are a lazy sloth.

I think NU might not be right for you.
