For the Northwestern application they have a section that asks, "What are your career interest(s) immediately after law school?" and "What are your long-term career goals?"

I have my interests, but I have no concrete ideas about what exactly I'll be doing after graduation. There is an option to leave this section blank. Will not having an answer put me at a disadvantage? Or at least be looked down upon?

    Also wondering about this: Can I have the same answer for both short term and long term?

    If you don't have anything compelling, I'd think better to leave it blank. Notice though that it's only asking about "interests" and "goals." These don't at all have to be concrete.
