Admitted Student Reception

Hello, I am scheduled to attend an admitted student reception soon, and I was wondering what the dress code usually is for these type of events. Do people dress semi-formally, or do they dress casual/with merch? I appreciate any insight!

Howard Full Ride vs Northwestern 40k

I’m majoring in chemistry and either sociology or legal studies pre-law. Planning to get a phd postgrad and then work in patent law. Maybe a combined PhD/JD program or get law school paid by a firm.

I’ve been offered admission into Northwestern for base financial aid of somewhere around 40k and Howard University with the presidential scholarship. My family has around 50k in college savings/funds and my parents are willing to contribute some to tuition if necessary.

Which of these would be more worth it considering long term goals in postgraduate acceptance rates and work opportunities?

Northwestern Law School Acceptance

Im currently planning to pursue law school, have an associates at a community college and will be transferring to a uni in the fall for a bachelors in poli sci. Nortgwesteen Law School is my dream school and my current GPA is a 3.6, I saw that if i got a good LSAT score i would be competitive. Has anyone got in with a similar or below GPA? i see reports online but not sure if they’re true. I’m not sure what I should do to strengthen my application in 2 years, I’m looking for a paralegal job however that’s tough since they all require experience .
