Chicagos finest school if you ask me

These numbers are correct if not understated. This school is tough to get into but well worth the effort. I got in by the skin of my teeth and I had almost a 4.0 gpa, qualified in every way and even went above and beyond in school to boost my portfolio. With this kind of competition to get into a school, trust me, when you mention you graduated from Northwest, you will beat out other applicants who graduated from other schools that were easier to get into. if your still in high school and concidering Northwest law school I implore you to keep your nose clean, join clubs, (that pertain to things like law) and build your portfolio now and in college- it will matter!
