Northwestern 2011 Applicants Forum

[Lwoods]

For those of you who are complete at Northwestern: how long did it take for you to receive an email with this information? I submitted about a week ago and I haven't gotten any confirmation...did it take a while?

A day... but that was back in September. They're likely busier now between the Chicago and Atlanta LSAC Forums and the influx of applications following the October LSAT score release.

[tipler4213]

they do not consider your application complete until after the interview. Right?

[homestyle28]

I'm so board and sick of waiting for next year. I hope you all start hearing soon so that the NU chatter can pick up here.

Is anyone else having trouble with the status checker today? When I put in my info it doesn't take me to the status page. It just refreshes the page I was on.

Somewhere there's a thread on this...but it seems to be down.

[thereelshaq]

this is true for me as well. when I try to log in, as you wrote, the page just refreshes.

I had the same problem. Called the admissions office and they 1) checked the validity of my acct and 2) told me my account was having some technical problems and that I should call back tomorrow if the problem doesn't fix itself by then.

works for me right now

[Aggiegrad2011]

It wasn't working earlier, but it works now. They finally updated my checker since my interview last Friday.

REALLY wishing I could change my ED now, but oh well. =[

I've been complete since the 15th of November, submitted my application on the 13th with an on-campus interview earlier that week. Needless to say, I don't expect to hear back anytime soon.

I've got my on-campus interview on 12/3. Should be fun.

I whole heartedly recommend doing the self-guided tour while you're there.

Just got rejected by DePaul and my #'s are nowhere near what NU wants, so should I even bother keeping the interview? My only plus is I'm older, have a master's degree and have 17 years full-time work experience.

What are your numbers?

[Flustercluck]

Hi everyone! I just submitted my ED application today, having interviewed on campus the first week in November. I was surprised to find that I actually had a fee waiver this whole time, as NW is a pretty big reach for me. Either way though, I'm excited!

Now the waiting begins...

Did anyone else get the "Happy Thanksgiving" email?! Seeing as I have been neither admitted nor denied, I can only assume it is an evil taunt!

I got it, I'm not even an NU applicant???

[Trustbuster]

Gobble gobble gobble gobble....

There are many a Northwestern thread, but none in this area, it seems. NU is my hopeful reach. My numbers yield a "consider" from the law school predictor, and I will have 5 years WE when I enter, so I'm hoping for a waitlist that I'll then work assertively to get off of. Or a straight up acceptance would be nice, too, but I don't expect it. *fingers crossed*!

Good luck, all!

ED?

Too late... I already submitted RD back in September and interviewed off-campus because my husband's residency is not in Chicago. I'm kicking myself a little bit now because it turns out I'm not crazy about the T1 LS in our current city. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

I'm in nearly the same boat, Lwoods, minus the presence of a TLS in our city. My longtime SO is in his surgical residency here in Denver and I also applied RD at NU to have the option of staying nearby. Too bad Colorado isn't a better school NU is my top choice even if it's a major reach, but with w/e at NASA and on the business side of a software company I guess I can always dream...

Best of luck to everyone
