Northwestern Decision
It's been more than 8 weeks since my application status turned to complete on Nov. 13 and I haven't got the decision from Northwestern. I had a phone interview on Dec. 20. Does it slow down the application process ? I asked the interview conductor during our discussion when the final decision would be made after the interview and got informed that it typically took two weeks after the interview. It's been almost a month after the interview and the waiting is really killing me. Should I contact them and ask about my application status ?Fri Feb 01, 2008 04:54 AM Thanks for your advice in advance. |

Are the decisions made on a rolling basis? I seem to recall the LLM deadline to apply was on January 31, 2008. Thanks!

dear Counsel,Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:18 AM I am an applicant for NU LLMK program. And I've just got a phone interview invitation yesterday. I am wondering should I or should I not accept it. Would the interview be an advantage of my application while NU reviewing my application? Besides, can you give me some hints on how to prepare for the phone interview? Thank you for your advises and time. |

Take the interview; if you don’t take it, they will for sure reject you, since you received a direct invitation.Thu Feb 14, 2008 01:47 AM The interview is a chance to sell your self to the admissions committee: they are great and the main purpose of the interview is to let them know you better. You don’t have to worry about anything, be your self and you will be fine, be honest, and show confidence. With whom you will have the interview? When is the interview? Tell me about your background.

Hello Counsel,Fri Feb 15, 2008 02:40 AM Thanks for your advises! I’ve scheduled for the phone interview. But I can’t tell who will be interviewing me from the website. As for my background I got LL.B. and LL.M. degrees in my home country. I am now an associate attorney in a major law firm in my home country. And I was a law clerk of the Supreme Court for two years. |

I got in at the KLLM, I have applied to other top 10 schools, this program is a must for the ones oriented to business, I will not hesitate and take the acceptance. Sun Feb 17, 2008 01:52 PM The extra value of the Kellog certificate is really a push for jobs opportunities. And i have heard that the community at NU is one of the finest of the states. For the ones waiting the letter: I have applied just on the deadline january 3th, I got the email last monday 11... hope it helps |

Hi, guys. I was admitted to the LLM (not LLM/K) program. I applied in mid October, and completed at the end of Oct. I had an off-cumpus interview in my home country in mid-Nov. I also heard that the NU community is great. Good luck with applications of you all!Sun Feb 17, 2008 03:24 PM |

Hi JL! It seems you are in the absolutely same situation as mine! I am also admitted to NU and GULC, waiting for Berkeley and Stanford. For me, it is very difficult to choose between NU and GULC. Could you share your reason why you prefer NU to GULC?

Hi jdshin!, basically the most important reason for choosing NU over GT it is that for me NU has a better business law approach than GT which is the field I am most interested in.Wed Feb 20, 2008 03:57 PM Regards, JL |
