Is there any known TLS guide to the NU interview (especially specific to on-campus)?

It exists. If nobody (rink???) posts it, I will when I am on a real computer. Last years App thread has it for sure.

Credit to Regulus for this great post

ETA: The above post was from an off-campus interview, but I imagine they want to gather similar information regardless of where you opt to interview

Anyone applying ED?

Anyone applying ED?

Possibly, depending on my October score. The in-person interview is a sort of inconvenient aspect of the ED process.

Happy application day!

Why the stutter NU?

ETA: wish I had known that they want a work-related LOR

Start emailing schools with the typos you find in their apps.

So I take it NW is not interested in seeing an academic recommendation? They say they require one, and that it must be from someone work-related. LSAC has the option of adding at most 4. Should I still add an academic recommendation alongside my employer's??

Yes. And it's NU, not NW

Anyone else having a problem checking out and not have the application fee waived? I thought I read that it will be waiver if submitted early.

Anyone else having a problem checking out and not have the application fee waived? I thought I read that it will be waiver if submitted early.

There is a link on their website that recently appeared in the form of a purple button labeled "JD fee waiver." Just go to where it says "apply" on NU's website.

After reading my comment above, it could almost sound snarky. That wasn't the intent, as I also completed an application and went to submit expecting the fee to be waived. So, I went searching and found the link.

It's here: http://www.law.northwestern.edu/admissions/applying/

This is my #1 choice. I hope I can get the LSAT score to be here next year..

Has anyone heard back yet from NU after asking for the fee waiver? They said a few business days I think but I'm itching to get this in.

I requested on Monday, no word yet. The email I got said 5-7 business days, though.

Checking in, just applied for the fee waiver as well

Here's the email I got from them yesterday when I inquired:

Dear craigsan,

You’ll receive an email with the application fee waiver code on Wednesday. Thank you and take care.

Sincerely,
Admissions person

I don't know if that holds for others waiting, but looks like soon is the answer regardless.

Just got my fee waiver! Requested 6 business days ago

Fee waiver, interview scheduled. October LSAT, here I come.

[OliveBC]

I got my waiver today as well, but I only applied for it yesterday I think. Looks like they're going to be sending them out once a week or something not necessarily depending on what day you request one

[feralinfant]

the real question is: How many animals have you sacrificed to Johann so far?

If the answer's less than ten you're not trying.

[feralinfant]
