I got in straight from UG, no work experience beyond part-time (it is at a start up and I wrote a Why NU about wanting to work with entrepreneurs) and summer jobs. I also submitted 0 LORs (got confused with their forms and just decided to take their recommendation of 0 letters.

Diversity days should have the same information as admit weekend in april, right? Or do people go to both?
That Bulls game is very tempting...

Re: Northwestern Law Class of 2014
I checked the schedules for both of them and decided to just go to diversity. The things it seems like you miss out on by going to the diversity days and not the regular weekend are the financial aid seminar and the bluhm legal clinic stuff. Everything else seems like it should be covered during the Diversity days... and the bulls game!eecs wrote:Diversity days should have the same information as admit weekend in april, right?

Would a DRose jersey be too casual/pandering for the occasion?

Re: Northwestern Law Class of 2014
Those tend to be given to people with numbers that get YHS and are straight out of undergrad. I think, though I am not sure, that they give those along with the acceptance because they are so rare.dddhhh wrote:Do you recall if they sent many of those last year or what type of applicants received that option?homestyle28 wrote:In general mid March...I think last year they sent out the "full ride if you defer" offers first
Also, if you only go to Diverse Admit Day and not to ASW you will miss the wonderful Wigmore's Follies (our humorous Law Revue).

Re: Northwestern Law Class of 2014
Has anyone made a hotel reservation for Diverse Day at one of the ones listed with NU discounts? Or is everyone just hoping to get hosted?
Anyways, was hoping to get an idea of which ones are giving better discounts (so I don't have to call them all...)
Also, if anyone was wondering about availability for the Bulls game, I e-mailed one of the coordinators about it and she said that in the past, everyone who has wanted to go has been able to.

Re: Northwestern Law Class of 2014
Hey guys, thought I might ask this question to those already accepted!
So I submitted 1/27 and went complete shortly after my interview on 2/17. Today, my status checker changed to "complete 2/28."
Do you guys know what 2 completes normally means? It's awfully soon after my first complete, too...
