Hi all,
I just got into the JD-PhD program at NU, but I haven't gotten any notifications about this "ASW." When is this? And how did you all learn about it?

Thanks!

It's tomorrow, and notification was via email. What timeframe do you mean by "just"?

Congratulations! What PhD program?

ASW = Admitted Student Weekend. It's tomorrow and Saturday, so they probably didn't mention it since they figured you couldn't plan a trip to Chicago on such short notice anyway.

I was notified march 7th, so there should have been ample time for the email. I'd be surprised if joint degree students aren't invited, so I assume I slipped through the cracks somehow.

I'm in economics. And I've already been in the econ program (and thus living in the Chicago area) for a couple years, so I don't think they would assume I'd be unable to make it.

Any advice about who I should contact to get this cleared up? And where is this shindig, anyway? Is there a website for it, or something?

Lift your hand grasping a fake mug and pretend to clink it together, while saying "Da Bears."

[TripTrip]

Got dat luggage tag in the mail today. So snazzy!

[T20hopeful89]

Guess we can't expect any decisions today because the admissions office will be busy with ASW...

But we should be expecting ASW PICWHORING!!!!!!!! Don't leave us hanging guys!

[liupang]

For the record I'll be wearing jean shorts, sandals, beanie and a tie-dye t-shirt.

at my home 'cause I'm not coming

+1


Pics throughout ASW please....

shorts, sandals, and t-shirt +2

[Clearly]

It's been 2 weeks of trying, and I can't get anyone on the phone in admissions. I haven't heard a busy signal in like 10 years, now I hear it every day!

[Danny Boyo]

At this point, since NU admissions' office must be focused on the ASW events, should we who haven't heard back from the school at all have any hope of getting admitted directly from the application, as opposed to being accepted from the waitlist in the upcoming months? Any thoughts?

[TripTrip]

Sorry guys, the schedule was cram packed!

[Micdiddy]

Yeah, sure, brag about the "packed" bar review. And least post some pix for us schmucks still back home pining away.....

Dean Lee made fun of us for confusing him with a karate master.

Very enjoyable though; I learned a lot. There's some serious support to find housing, too.

I was having the same issue until I discovered an alternate admissions phone number here. Should work.

Johann IS the Miyagi of LS Admissions.

I mean, you guys might have worn Jeggings if it wasn't for him.

[TripTrip]

Jeggings were my first choice...

No problem. Not sure if they'd be open on a Saturday though..?

[Micdiddy]

Seriously we need some ASW picwhoring. Don't be so shy, we'll all meet face-to-face soon anyway.
