"From society for life" - of course I don't. But prestigious law school seats could be filled by those who haven't intentionally ended another's life...

@LegalHypnoticPoodle: who cares aren't you committed elsewhere
Has anyone done the Northwestern JD WL Kira interview this cycle yet? What questions were you asked? two video questions and two written questions. Thank you!
Anyone else still waiting on Nu
15:57
unfortunately
@LegalHypnoticPoodle: I took a look at your profile and noticed that you are (or were) an AmLaw50 paralegal. You've probably been asked this a lot, but I'd appreciate it if you'd answer again, if you wouldn't mind. What is your sense, based on your work as a paralegal at this AmLaw50 law firm, of associate happiness at your firm? Are they all miserable? Is no one miserable? Is it closer to 50/50? And do you have a sense of whether partners/of counsel people tend to be more, less, or about equally as miserable as associates?
And---one last question---to the extent that you do have a sense of associate, partner, etc. happiness, do you have a sense of what tends to be responsible for whatever happiness levels there appear to you to be?
Anyone that applied in late Jan/early Feb not heard back?
