northwestern


I am wondering whether Northwestern llm would give admission to those who have a gpa below 3. However, my toefl is above 105, and with entrepreneurship, and some intern experience in prestigious firms.
I am really worried about my application, since my complete date is 1/5, but i have not receive any decisions yet. Does that mean they kinda reject my application??
NWU has always been my dream school.......

That is not necessarily a problem. It takes up to 30 business days for a decision.

Hi guys! I read that last year people heard back from NU by early feb.

You guys shouldn't worry. I was accepted at NU with a TOEFL below 105 and even after rejecting the interview (because I had previously been accepted at Duke and Cornell).

They need at least 20 days before they are able to consider your application.
I submitted my application on late september, and I had an answer in mid-january...

Has anyone got an offer so far?

I applied on December 7th and my application still shows "under review". It's strange because there is a disclaimer showing "Please allow 6-8 weeks (from December 1) for a decision".

Mine status shows "application complete" ..... and my complete date is 1/6...
I think that means they have not started to review my papers .....At first, I thought I would receive a decision at the end of Jan. However, now I think I ill have to wait until mid Feb to receive a decision.
It's been a tough time waiting for a decision, fingers cross!!

I applied a few days before the deadline and was admitted to Northwestern. Does anybody know how to apply for a scholarship?

I guess it depends on when you were interviewed or when your documents were approved and not when you sent your application...

I applied on an extended deadline (they emailed me) this month and I got the acceptance letter last week. I don't know their criteria but application timing isn't one of them! Best of luck to everyone, I am also still waiting for other universities.

Did your current status change? I mean from complete to under review
Or it is always application complete
What I've heard is that the current status system is more like an indicator to applicants.

Hi guys!
Those of you who already heard back from NU: What program did you apply for?
Anyone got accepted in the IHR?

I didn't check my status from when I applied to when I got accepted since it was only a week interval, but now it says Status: Decision rendered. I think I just got lucky.
I applied to Corporate Law, anyone else?

I got in. Although my English score did not satisfy the requirement, I received an unconditional offer. I applied in January and did not take the interview.

Hi everyone,

Is "Graduate Program in Law and Business (LLM/Kellogg) progam" still open for us (beginning 2017)? I applied both general LLM & LLM/Kellogg program, and I got acceptance letter from NW recently. But the letter did not mention about LLM/Kellogg program at all. According to the website below, it says "In the Fall of 2016, the LLM/Kellogg program was indefinitely suspended." and it sounds to me that the program does not exist anymore. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks for your help!
