http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496 en Northwestern Decision - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Fri, 01 Feb 2008 06:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#39496 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 ? Thanks for your advice in advance.

I’m already admitted into the LLMK program, and, let me say that Northwestern faculty staff is great, so you don’t have nothing to worry about. Good luck!

I am still waiting to hear from other uni's. Mon, 04 Feb 2008 20:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#39656 Are the decisions made on a rolling basis? I seem to recall the LLM deadline to apply was on January 31, 2008. Thanks! Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#39664 i think the deadline is 2/1 for LLM only and 1/14 for LLM/Kellogg program. Has anyone done the interview before being admitted? it is optional and I applied for an off-campus interview but never heard from them yet.

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. Thu, 14 Feb 2008 03:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40259 Take the interview; if you don’t take it, they will for sure reject you, since you received a direct invitation. 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. Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40315 Hey, good luck anwait and all the others! fingers crossed. I just added a group on lawyrs.net for past and future students of Northwestern law school, have a look: https://www.lawyrs.net/llmguide/55 yours, Setareh Fri, 15 Feb 2008 04:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40345 Hello Counsel, 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. Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40353 I got no response by now..... Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40450 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. 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 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40453 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! Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40525 Just got an adimssion email from NU. I applied to the general llm preogram on december 26th. Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40578 Me too!! I just got accepted to NU and also to GULC, but I think I´ll go to NU still waiting NYU, Berkeley and Stanfords. Congratulations to those accepted! JL Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40627 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? Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40654 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. Regards, JL Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#40916 Hi everybody. Can anybody say something about the content of the phone interview for the admission to NU? What kind of questions do they ask? Many thanks! Best. Mon, 25 Feb 2008 17:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39496/last#41021 Just got an adimssion email from NU.
