did anyone who applied in October not hear anything back today?

I was held after ED in December and it seems like not hearing something today is kinda bad news.

I don't think any ED holds heard back today. Last year they didn't hear for another week. I'd expect to hear sometime next week for us.

[ZVBXRPL]

Is there a compilation of possible online interview questions? I guess ill just look through this thread if not! Best of luck to everyone.

Check Johann's latest tweet on ED hold files. Looks like we can expect one more wave soon for those

[Harry Ass Truman]

What should I expect if I didn't get in today, applied in October, and felt like I killed the interview? Will there be another wave soon or is it looking bleak? Kinda bummed

[mudiverse]

Johann:

BTW- not done reviewing ED Hold files. More to come...

This is pure speculation, but I would think the most competitive applicants would come first with some loose correlation to date submitted. As time goes by they start rifling through the bottom of the barrel to see if anything shiny catches their eye. For sure there are more acceptances to come, but particularly for my ED crew, I think this wave (tomorrow?) is do or die.

If everyone at NU Law is like you, we would actually have a collegial environment which every LS administrator keeps claiming they have. Well done. Thanks.

Haha thanks! I did notice that there weren't really any duplicate questions. Only exception that I've seen was "why NU"? This probably confirms that they have a huge question bank and that you probably won't get many questions off this list.

I got the following

1. When was the last time you were frustrated and how did you handle?

2 describe a conversation with someone who had a radically different viewpoint from you. How did you feel after it?

3. Why nu

4. In a group situation do you generally like speaking or listening? Give an example of both situations.

5. What have you believe for long but have stopped believing now.?

6. If you had an important deadline coming up, how do you plan it? What's your typical day like in such case.

4 questions from the bank you created and 2 similar.

Yes, why NU is common for all. I had a bad network with the last question and the question repeated several times as the answer won't be saved. Always Johann. Same question.

[lawandorder1234]

Went complete/did alumni interview late October. We thinking that's a ding if I didn't hear back yesterday? Or is johann sending some more waves soon?
