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.

If the time they give you already passed, you should contact them right away!

Im already admitted into the LLMK program, and, let me say that Northwestern faculty staff is great, so you dont have nothing to worry about.

Good luck!

Im pleased to help!

I applied during November, shown completed one week later, and received news about my admission to the LLMK program two weeks a go!

Do not hesitate to contact me for any doubts or queries!

I just got an email from NU announcing my acceptance to the LLM program. So i guess it takes time.

I am still waiting to hear from other uni's.

Are the decisions made on a rolling basis? I seem to recall the LLM deadline to apply was on January 31, 2008. Thanks!

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.

I had applied for their Human Rights program....anyone else got through for the same?

oishika007: Congratuations on your admission! Let me ask something. Did you take the interview? And how long did it take for them to answer you since your application became complete?

nathan11: i did not opt for an interview.....they sent me a mail on January 17th stating that my application file was complete and they sent me my acceptance mail on 9th feb...which prog have u applied for?

Thank you my friend. I applied for general LLM Program. Btw, are you planning to accept the offer, or still waiting for other offers before decision?

well i am actually waiting to hear from them abt the status on my financial aid and i'm also waiting to hear from other uni's

oishika007: Thanks again for response. Hope there is more good news on the way.

Good luck to all applicants who are waiting, including me of course...:)

dear Counsel,
I am an applicant for NU LLMK program.
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.

Take the interview; if you dont 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 dont 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.

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:

Hello Counsel,

Thanks for your advises!
Ive scheduled for the phone interview.
But I cant 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.

I got no response by now.....

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
