Depends on what your interest is and what your goal is. Also whether or not you'd want to live in CHicago.
What other schools have you applied to/ been accepted to?
Just wondering, when did your status become "complete" and what's your background?

They follow the timeline of 6-8 weeks as notified in their website. I am a finance lawyer, but not in the capital market. I am working on banking finance now, in particular on project finance.
As far as I know, only BU offers Banking & Financial Law Program.

Congrates!
But if its corporate law (particularly Finance/Securitisation and transactions), you'd might want to consider Columbia and Chicago. Their corporate law program (no specialisation) is much better. Or you can consider UCLA's Finance specialisation. Or UCL in London.
I've spoken to alumni who informed me that Northwestern's LLM courses are not as technically proficient as othe top law schools, but on the plus side the K program is a big plus. If you're interested in MBA courses its a definit plus (UPenn and NYU also provide similar MBA courses for LLM).

I have been turned down by CLS and got in Georgetown. Still waiting for Uppen, HLS, NYU, Chicago and BU.

I'd choose UPenn, NYU and Chicago over Northwestern.

Also Fordham have a Graduate Program in Banking, Corporate and Finance Law.
As per the LLMK program I can say that is one of the best programs of its kind, you have to consider that Kellogg Business School and Northwestern Law School are great schools that can offer to your Résumé a really strong history.
