Re: Northwestern Law c/o 2018 Applicants

I've decided to apply for the hell of it-yet to be rejected from anywhere
This is my only t14 app but i've already gotten into 2 top 20's.
My numbers are slightly below 25th lsat and above 75th gpa. 2 years of work experience with good softs.
Have a fee waiver so the worst that can happen is that they say no.
It does look like i am sort of screwed for the interview though.
We shall see!

I sent in everything early January but obviously missed all the Skype sign ups since December. I remember admissions emailing out about releasing some future Skype interviews mid-January. Anyone have suggestions for the best way to keep up to date with sign-ups or the best methods to ensure I get one?

Also, how much are admissions chances lowered without an interview?

Thanks!

Admissions says no more Skype interview slots will be added. A few people have reported a slot or two being added sporadically as people cancel their interviews, but I personally haven't lucked out and gotten one. What I recommend doing is emailing admissions with the suggested "what I would have said in an interview" supplement and asking them to mark your app complete, and checking periodically to see if slots have been added (though I will, of course, fight you for them if they were :twisted: ). Should you manage to snag one, you can just email them and ask them to change it again.

You're so invested in this thread, at this point I don't know if I'd be more excited to hear you got in or I did.

Also for the poll - does a status change post-interview count?

This poll is making me feel worse about mine. Sitting on (almost) lonely date change island over here.

I'd say no - you're not complete until after you interview, right? I'm not sure, I wasn't able to do one.
Oh yes you are correct! nevermind then :)

My NU status checker was updated today and now reads "Decision Letter Available within 24 hrs". How mysterious.

Applied early November. In-person interview late November with an alumnus.
