I don't know how they would regard it, but if you're concerned, would you be comfortable tying a stylish scarf on? The color will still show, but with it pulled back, and not the focus of your appearance, I think it could show your individuality, but add a professional vibe. I personally might go subtle until I got in the door, and I had glorious plum hair with red & gold highlights last year. I miss it sigh

I haven't thought about this. I will probably tie my hair back as well. I am sure your hair looked glorious! I wonder how many students have unnatural colors in law schools.

I think it depends on the shade of pink, Northwestern actively seeks a mature student body and they MAY interpret hot pink as a unprofessional/immature hair colour. It's not worth risking it, just dye back to pink after your interview?

I thought Northwestern was very liberal comparing to other law schools, but I guess it could be mature and liberal at the same time. I am considering getting those temporary black dye and just shampoo it out afterwards.

Your hair color should not matter so long as your overall appearance is professional and not distracting from what you are saying during your interview. Good luck!

Thanks! This is what I thought how it should be, but law schools also strike me as caring a lot about formalities. I will definitely try looking professional!

Hahahaha what? I had nothing that outlandish with my interview. It was actually all fairly standard.

But here’s another pitch, I love it here at NU! Such a great group of classmates and such a good atmosphere!

Hi there! I am about to do my NU online interview. I am wondering how unnatural hair colors will be perceived at NU? I have pink hair currently, and I don't know if it is frowned upon or not. Based on your experience at NU and laws school applications, do you think I should keep the pink hair or not? Thanks!
