Is it still possible to get money if I just got accepted today? Kinda forgot I still had this app out, but Chicago would be an easier market for my fiancee to find a job than Ann Arbor

I was in the 4/18 acceptance wave and got my scholly info last night...35k/year. Probably could have gotten a little more if I'd gone through the effort to be classed as independent, but I didn't want to bother with that because even then I don't think I would have gotten what I needed to make it worthwhile for someone that doesn't want big law. So there's money, but I don't know how much and there's always a chance it will go up later in the summer (I know I've seen a couple people on LSN report that they were given unsolicited increases in like June).ckb614 wrote:Is it still possible to get money if I just got accepted today?

Just posted this in the WL thread, but did anybody else on the waitlist get the interview invite?

I did! It seemed like a stock email to all WL candidates? But does anyone have any idea what "written essay campaign" they are referring to? Is it timed and part of the skype interview?patttt wrote:Just posted this in the WL thread, but did anybody else on the waitlist get the interview invite?

I think it is part of the online interview. Cornell uses the same platform for their online interviews and it had a mix of video interview questions and written responses. Northwestern sounds like they are using the same formula.48976 wrote:I did! It seemed like a stock email to all WL candidates?
