if you dont want to live in the streeterville places there are still lots of other options.

what're you looking for?

don't be afraid to be pretty blunt about what you're writing. and def submit the 2nd round of scholly reconsideration too. They really just want to be sure you're putting the effort in so that you're actually interested in coming here. Also, HMU with any questions - Current Student. Finally accepte...

Worth noting - If you wanna be in NYC/DC, WUSTL might not have the reach you're looking for. All schools are regional to an extent so landing the east coast from the midwest should be an important consideration.

anyone have an idea when winter courses release grades?

i miss y'all

Don't hesitate on sending continued interest emails/resume updates occasionally too. especially if you're a candidate who might be on the cusp.

current 2l - Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! What was your secret to getting accepted? lol Joking aside, my wife and I are originally from Iowa and would like to make it back there after law school. Job prospects aside, would it be feasible to try and arrange a summer associate pos...

even more criminal that they made the exact same post on the old site.

180 stranger!

It would widen the opportunities for you in some sense, but would require you to undertake a lot of networking on your own behalf as the school/alumni network wont be as useful in those areas. Additionally, the regions outside of NJ will probably be confused as to why you went to NJ in the first pla...

could you elaborate on the type of clerkships you're looking for?

Additionally, regional schools mostly place within their immediate area. Not being from new jersey, would you want to spend the rest of your life in New Jersey?

I'm not from Texas, no. but the reason that I asked about these schools specifically is because I'm deciding between both of their early decision options. Geography is not as much of a concern to me (if at all) in comparison to salary/chances of big law. We can probably just stop replying because h...

Op - if you want biglaw, NU is pretty reasonable at that price point. If you want texas, I can tell you that pretty much everyone at NU that expressed serious interest in getting Texas, got Texas.

Hydro, if you want to factor self selection into the matter, then also factor in that 10% of NU class is JBMBA and therefore may not even pursue a a JD job. Additionally, it isn't exactly helpful to call out Zuck for unsubstantiated claims when the best you're providing seems to be vague and ancedot...

what would you say the culture is like at northwestern? starting in a few weeks and worried about the competitiveness pretty relaxed, i've never had an issue getting notes or just discussing things with classmates. You can tell who the gunners are but everyone is quite professional so it is rarely ...

who gives a shit about your shoes? the real deal is what pencil do you bring to the interview?

NU just sent out an email about 2 (free) summer programs in August: Northwestern Law’s Summer Law Preparatory Program and 2018 JumpStart Preview and Preparation Program. Did anyone do either of these? Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards not, but also have FOMO. didn't do them, can't think of anyone i...

Kadens can be very intimidating but she also cares a lot for her students and is an amazing resource to have as a 1l. That's really good to know! Re- scary- I'm mostly kidding because of course I don't know her at all but she just seems a bit... stern. oh you aren't wrong, it can be rough just hear...

Shoot for a high lsat (+170), write and addenda/personal statement highlighting it if you can, and try to keep your GPA as high as possible. I managed to snag a decent t14 scholly with a low 170s/3.2x combo so it can certainly done. Work experience is always a good idea and everyone on this board wi...
