Advising at NU

I have to choose if I wish to pursue going to NU, as JHU offered me admission on Friday. I have to say straight up that I do still prefer NU more, however, JHU makes a huge deal about their advising, and how almost 92% of students get into the law school of their choice.

Does any one have any figures for the Law/Med school acceptance percentages for NU undergrads? I tried google, but that didn't yield anything.

Appreciate the response.

No statistics, but more information if you want it:

Pre-Law Students, Pre-Professional Studies, Undergraduate Students, WCAS, Northwestern University

Below are some of the law school representation stats:
Harvard Law: Northwestern 20, JHU 3
Yale Law: Northwestern 8, JHU 0
Virginia Law: Northwestern 3, JHU 1
Michigan Law: Northwestern 20-29, JHU 10-19
Georgetown Law: Northwestern 10, JHU 3
UCLA Law: no exact number but Northwestern is listed as one of the top represented schools
USC law: Northwestern 4, JHU 0

I'd give the edge to NU for law school admission. NU also has one of the top law schools and even though there's no stats available, it's safe to assume NU undergrad is the top represented school for NU law.

I appreciate your help Sam Lee. I still stuck with NU.

goblue10nis: JHU is half the size as NU, so it doesn't really account for NU's domination amongst Harvard, Georgetown, USC and Yale.
