Northwestern 2011 Applicants Forum

[homestyle28]

hah just crept back ITT, way to get weird homes!

If this is the weirdest thing I say on these forums between now and graduation, that'd be something.

"I do that too, but then I do the math on how much monthly payments would be, and cry a little inside.



Just kidding, I cry a lot on the outside as well.

Just ball yourself up into a corner and chant IBR and LRAP will save me, that's what I do

I thought the email today they sent was pretty awesome. More because the subject line was, "Holiday Greetings from Northwestern Law - Not a Decision." I lold at the "Not a Decision" line.

I have to say, their admissions office seems like a pretty chill place.

I didn't get the joke.

I don't mean to be a pedant, but that post deserves it: consider changing your username to 'flustercuck' or 'fustercluck' so that, you know, it makes sense.

Are you trying to be wry?

You gotta admit, the extra L just helps it roll off the tongue better, plus fluster > fuster and cluck > cuck....

No matter what I swear in my head every time I read it.

quick question, I checked off "no interview" when I submitted my application because I didn't want to travel in the middle of the semester (no Alumni location near me), does it basically mean I have 0 chance at Northwestern?

If you included an addendum about how you would had loved to interview, but couldn't because it was logistically impossible, then your chance might not had been dramatically affected. It also depends on your numbers. What I have noticed on LSN is that splitters or applicants with lower numbers that were admitted were folks that went all out i.e. wrote all the supplemental essays and interviewed.

This thread is dead...time for a revival...acceptances soon, eh? (per graphs of last year)

[MillerTime]

I've been checking their twitter. No updates on when the next batch is going out

[Gotti]

oh forgot to mention...2nd complete date 12/28 (from 12/6) but i doubt it means anything

oh, I didn't realize the date updated on their status checker. Darn. In that case, mine is still stuck on 12/13 when it went complete

I was complete 12/01, so I have 8 weeks... 4 gone, so 4 left. Sometime this month, or early next month, I'll know. Please not another WL. :>

I didn't think it updated either.. Mine is stuck on 12/7

Gah I got so excited for .0398409 seconds when I saw TT pop up...

4 weeks down here as well. Thx for keeping an eye on twitter, too evandm!

[Gotti]

Oh shit did no one else get theirs updated? Hope that's not a bad sign for me

Or a good one.. or none at all. We ALL read WAY too much into minute changes in our status checker. My Cardozo checker still says I'm under review, despite having been accepted via phone today. No sense... no sense. They're almost worthless tbh.

You said you interviewed 12/9...so maybe they updated your file with the interview report?
