Does anyone remember how long the responses are supposed to be for the held questions? I remember seeing it a few pages back but can't seem to find it.

You have to write essays if you get 'held?' Really tho?

Part of the reason probably is they're trying to encourage people to withdraw/select for those who actually wanna go to NU.

What essays? And where can I find the prompts. Pls advise...

Considering that I'm 1 point below LSAT median and .1 below GPA median, the fact that they haven't outright denied or WL'd me (or the ever dreaded held) gives me hope. Submitted 11/3, interviewed 11/24, and complete since 12/5. Maybe they are truly, really being "holistic." Maybe this is a good sign for me? I'm still anxious to know, nevertheless!

I feel like I should turn this into a drinking game. Every time someone posts a decision and I check my status and it still says complete, I'm gonna take a drink.

Lol I'd be wasted

I think that you are probably right.
I feel like that's a bad idea though. I was excited about NU before this BS, but when you are comparing ~10 incredibly similar schools (jobs and cost wise) little things like the admissions people not being THE WORST starts to become a differentiating factor.

750 words/6 minutes per response

Thanks Gray!

No you don't have to but they offer you the opportunity if you like.

Would you take a full ride at NU over your Harvard option?

Am an idiot?

Well, when you ask like that....



Just kidding!!

tbh if they wanted to really learn about me as a person, they could just have me send in a screenshot of my netflix suggestions and a photo of my cupboard of snacks. idk what they can glean about me as a person from what I think people should dislike about attorneys, but obviously I'll still do it

This is surprisingly a great way to learn a lot about a person...

Dinged after WL last year. Second time it happened (Texas being the other). Oomph. Oh well, NU is an awesome school and congrats to anyone who gets in. I would've loved to be there.

[Cpt Zapp Brannigan]

Dang, no decision for me either. Complete in fall, last date change in Jan. My new avatar sums up my feelings. For those also stuck in limbo, do you guys think we still have a chance? It's getting mighty late in the cycle...

Hugs and jager shots for all those who got dinged/held.

[swinginsoprano]

...do we think they're done for the day?

guys based solely on this screengrab of my hold response video, what do you think, admit or deny?
I thought the books in the background would say "I know how to read" and the OCI outfit would say "I know what OCI is."

Admit, duh. Look at those well-groomed brows.

All of my law school videos have my bookcase in the background....

So.... I'm going to go with they'll never tell you one way or the other.
