Chances at Northwestern
Hey I know that Northwestern is big on WE and since it would be nice to stay in Chicago I was wondering if it would be worth paying the $100 to apply. I'm working now as a legal assistant (not sure if that will count as WE for Northwestern) and have worked previously as a undergrad TA, language tutor, and core curriculum tutor (still don't know if that counts as WE). LSAT/GPA: 169/3.68. Just below medians on both. Any responses appreciated.

Re: Chances at Northwestern
yeah you don't have a great shot, but i still think it is always worth it to apply if you want to go to that school.

Ask for a fee waiver. I got one without soliciting it from them and my LSAT was 4 points lower than yours

I certainly will but am not counting on it. Does anyone think my WE would count for anything anywhere?Flips88 wrote:Ask for a fee waiver. I got one without soliciting it from them and my LSAT was 4 points lower than yours

Re: Chances at Northwestern
no other school emphasizes WE more than northwestern so it doesn't really matter especially since your WE is subpar to mediocre.

Re: Chances at Northwestern
Your WE is probably fine, if you're full-time and self-supporting. Not everyone (i.e. hardly anyone) at NU has ten years of corporate VP experience.
Your numbers are pretty iffy, but I'd say it's worth a shot if you'd really like to go there.

Re: Chances at Northwestern
It's a reach school in the market where you want to practice. Of course you should apply.
BTW, I got in off of the wait list, so that's a possibility too.

A very different scenario than OP imo.Z3RO wrote: Really? Why is my 3.46/175+ ass sitting on the wait list?
Edit: I applied in late November.
