IN!!! With $$$$!

Congrats! Numbers and all that? Were you EA or RD?

[lovethelaw88]

I was RD. I was 161/3.08. I'm half South American (idk if you consider that URM). I also had a killer PS and GPA addendum.

decision mailed 1/19 via status checker...

[bceagles182]

In via snail mail on 1/21 with 8.5k/yr. Small, thick envelope
Went complete on 1/4
162; 3.38

My status checker is still stuck on "Complete file" so I nearly died of heart failure when I saw the letter. It's my first decision of this cycle so I'm pleased. Good luck guys.

I went complete on the 4th as well, with a slightly lower LSAT, and a higher GPA....I'm hoping for similar results.

[tarvis79]

In with some money as of 1/16. 3.41/172

[jbarl1]

Northeastern is confusing me...I have been accepted to Penn State and Villanova but I was deferred at Northeastern from EA to regular.

[bski418]

In with some money, 3.17/163......Unemployednusl scares me tho.

[keemos]

In with 8.5K/yr. small envelope. 163/3.42

exactly the same today. in today, small envelope, 8.5k/year. 3.4/165

[GobiasIndustries]

Congrats to the new acceptances! I just withdrew, so I hope someone deferred here takes my spot

[barkingbug]

like many here, i am in with 8.5k plus 3k stipend (letter on 1/14). the real surprise was getting a decision ten days after submitting the app... i have only heard back from two others (in at maine, 25k at vt), but leaning toward nusl so far.

[gabewatch]

northeastern is the stingiest school ever considering their ranking and the cost of their tuition/living in boston, i am withdrawing today.

Suffolk is worse when it comes to that.

[Sean Bateman]

I'm really excited about the co-op program but I also have those reservations about incurring serious debt (even after the 8.5 a year) and the high cost of living in boston.

anyone care to share thoughts on whether or not NUSL is a good investment?

WL today via snail mail. FML

Thanks, it's been a really tough cycle for me so far, and I'm starting to get really disheartened. Oh well.

[lovethelaw88]

I think I might withdraw from Northeastern soon. I got more $$ from Temple which is a lot higher ranked...and I got a TON of money to other, lower ranked Boston schools.

You have quite an impressive undergrad GPA. I hope you get in--perhaps you should seek out one or two people to write letters of rec. that are specific to the school, and reiterate your interest through letters of your own. I am likely going to accept, but have to hear back from a few others. I personally know some biglaw first years from NUSL who have said some good things and some bad things, but clearly the school provides strong opportunities.

[jbarl1]

Has anyone who was deferred from EA heard anything further?

[colleen]

Does anyone know if northeastern mails letters to the current or permanent address?

[Great Satchmo]

Decision letter mailed today, complete on 1/4, it then went to complete 2/8, and it still says complete. Only under mailing did it say "decision mailed 2/10".
