Any one already received decision for the LLM or LLMK Program?

Does anyone knows about decision timing for UPENN, UMICH, UCLA, BERKELEY, VIRGINIA, HARVARD, STANFORD, and NORTHWESTERN?

No news from Northwestern yet.

As for the admission's decisions they stated in my application status webpage that I should expect a decision 6-8 weeks after my application went complete, what happened in Oct 26. So, I'm looking forward to hear from them soon.

Good luck to you!

Who is your main contact in Northwestern? Any experiences you want to tell us about?

Any luck with other universities?

No real contacts really.

After I submitted my application I received a completeness e-mail from a person named Heather McKinney (hmckinney@law.northwestern.edu), who instructed me about the application status webpage and gave me a password to access it.

It took them about 6 days to send me the e-mail, after they had my documents.

Does Northwestern respect the time for a decision of 6 to 8 weeks once you application is complete?

That's exactly what I am wondering about Counsel.

If they stick to this timeline (6-8weeks) I should receive my decision between December 12th to 26th, since my application wnet complete on October 26th. I have not heard from them yet though. I'm afraid they may enter into end-of-year recess and strecht out their deadlines.

GPPINHEIRO,

I don’t know if we should send an e-mail to our contact in Northwester regarding the decision.

I’m exactly in the same position you are.

What do you think about that?

I guess we should wait a little longer since deadline has not passed and they may still send decisions until December 26th. However, I'm itching to contact them.... Let me know in case you have any news.

Got the e-mail, I'm in!

First, there is an e-mail with a link to the admissions letter. Later the e-mail containing the admission letter itself. As I was also admitted to CLS tonight I have to reconsider my plans...

I did not take the interview but I've known some people who have. I think they state that it is not necessary although it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask for one.
