Northwestern University School of Law (NU Law) is one of the most desired law schools among LSAT students. It's also one of the most hip law schools on the block. Among its list of celebrity alumni, you will find names like Nikki Lee (Korean pop star) and Divya Narendra (founder of ConnectU - better known for it's clashing battle against Facebook). On that list you will also find distinguished leaders in law, politics, and business - US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, Harold Washington, and J.B. Pritzker.

So what LSAT score do you need to get into this awesome school?

GPA 25th percentile: 3.38
GPA 75th percentile: 3.84
GPA middle 50% distribution: 3.56 - 3.85
Location | Chicago, IL
NU Law is smack in the center of downtown Chicago, a happening city that boasts both amazing culture and beautiful landscape to boot. My only big gripe is that there is no good Korean BBQ (you have to drive way up north of the city to get something good) near the campus.
The law school building occupies prime real estate, which borders along Northwestern University Hospital, on the one end, and looks outwards towards lake Michigan, on the other end.
My buddies (and former students) at NU law are able to enjoy all that a major city has to offer while studying the law. The same can't be said for many top law schools out there. Thus, in terms of location rating - I personally give NU law a 5 out of 5 stars.
What Sets It Apart
It's no mystery that NU law is special. But what makes it especially unique is its clear focus on recruiting mature and more professionally experienced student body.
