Is it worth sending out an app to them if you don’t have any work experience? At the Law School Forum, I was told that 97% of their applicants have at least one year of work experience. I have a lot of volunteer experience, research experience and internships but no work experience.
Thoughts please
What are your numbers?
3.1/170
They say on their website specifically “post-graduate, full-time work experience,” so unless your numbers warrant you being in the 3% without work experience, probably not.
Okay thank you.
eh, you never know. Worth a shot since apps are down.
Try Duke & Cornell.
OP: Your prior posts indicate that you are an African-American female. If accurate, then apply to every law school among the top 14 which is of interest to you.
This. Also, all signs point to applications being down again for 2012-2013 cycle.
Yes, that would be a game changer.
I know this is anecdotal and I can’t speak to overall percentages, but when I was at the admitted students weekend a couple months ago I met a lot of K-JD admits. They have a new dean and they may not be emphasizing work experience as much as in the past.
I don’t know if they’re still doing this, but previously they have offerred full ride scholarships to some applicants without enough work experience on the condition that they defer a year and work basically anywhere. I would apply just to see what happens.
Northwestern who? Enjoy New Haven!!! 
Yeah, I know they did this last year, and I believe I read that a couple of people got it this year too. OP’s numbers are good enough that it’s worth trying (especially if they give a fee waiver).
they def did it in the 2011-2012 cycle i got one.
Always worth sending out an app- maybe youll get a fee waiver
I would apply to Duke and Cornell, but if you really like NU, then definitely apply. What can you lose from applying, after all?
