    Yay! I’ve heard nothing but good things about NU. Plus, as an officially accepted student, I have to say they are the best now. Haha

    ED at NU is pretty cool too because of the $$$

    @LSATcantwin I see a few last minute admits to NU on Reddit. If you are paying sticker, I think you should reconsider man. You can get $150k by applying ED next cycle.

    What a turn of events. Acceptance days before the start of the school year. Any tips on those short tricky NWSL interview questions?

    Congratulations!!! Your words really motivate me. I am so happy for you! I just doubt if I should give up as I took four times LSAT and my scores were low. Also I just lost my job this Tuesday but I didn't make any mistake at my job and have to find another job to support myself as only me living in USA. English is not my mother language. I have a low GPA too.You have been working 70hours but you achieved 171 score! It's amazing! Going to good law school is my dream thus I should get good LSAT like you then I go to a good law school and then pass the bar. Your story really motivates me! Thank you for sharing! Best of luck for everything!

    I know I'm late to the party on this--things've been crazy--but really, really happy to see this one pop up. I always thought Nwestern would actually be a really great fit for you Glen, and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. You're going to get up there and crush it, and they're going to be like, "we initially WL'd this guy, what's wrong with us?" Hope you're getting settled in up there and feeling ready to roll. Stay in touch!

    Yoooooo dude you’re partially responsible for getting me to where I am at. I’m typing this out after my first day of law school in Chicago in front of my future apartment. Thank you so much for all your advice, and help, and encouragement along the way. I hope everything is going smoothly for you!

    Great job! Mind if I ask why you think you were rejected with such a high LSAT score + 10 years of experience. Does your cGPA matter that much?
