Northwestern University is a great place to be. As a minority student I
felt that NU really, I mean really tried hard in getting me to come here.
I gave up a full scholarship to another lower tiered school because of
NU's reputation and the sense of camraderie I felt when I came for
admitted students weekend. Now on to real business. Dean Van Zandt's new
law school strategy is to make it more like the Kellogg school's MBA
program in that it is really looking for students that had 2 or more
years of work experience. I didn't do the interview, but I hear that it
is helpful in getting in. The people in the minority affairs dept and
student affairs as a whole were very understanding and they did their
best to get me the financial aid package that I needed in order to attend
here. LSAT scores matter, but they are not everything. NU wants a student
that can do the work, but Dean Van Zandt wants to make the NU graduate a
lawyer that is of a different breed. He wants us to be smart (I can
assure you everyone is), worldly and experienced in the real world. I can
admit, that I enjoy not being in a school full of kids that were
straight out of undergrad.
