I did! It was super fast once I sent in the documents. They asked like two questions and then granted it the same day. But I think it helped that I had emailed Admissions with a separate question and mentioned my appeal; they replied and CC'd the financial aid folks, which might have moved everything along...
Ok thanks! That is helpful. I also cc'd someone at admissions because the scholarship application was due already and I wanted them to know that I was still waiting for an appeal response. Anyway - hoping I'll hear back really soon.
Can you speak a little more about this? Should I just email admissions directly and ask to appeal?
You actually email their Chicago Office on Financial Aid to submit an appeal, but I'd recommend cc'ing someone from admissions. More info on the dependency appeal can be found here: http://chicagofinancialaid.northwestern ... tatus.html. Basically if you're not 26, you need to have 30 months of salaried employment.

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).

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?

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.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
