Hey guys, need some advice on if I have a realistic chance at Northwestern before I spend the $100. I'm leaning towards likely not, but also wondering how much weight the interview has?? I have 2 years WE out of school, but I also worked throughout college at different law firms pretty much full-time. Thoughts? Thanks.

I hate to say this, but it's pretty unlikely. If your work experience was truly extraordinary or something like that I would say go for it. But otherwise it's probably a very long shot. That said, $100 isn't very much in the grand scheme of law school. If you're willing to shell out $150K to go to Northwestern, it's probably worth the risk of $100. Just my thoughts on the subject.

+1. I'm 3.37 / 168 and am planning on applying to NW, along with an ED to UVA and a few other reaches. Unless you're on a very limited budget, I'd definitely say apply to all the reaches you have weak consider chance on lsp.
