On SI.com, I recently wrote about [the legal implications of the NLRB's Northwestern ruling on college sports] (http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/08/17/northwestern-football-players-union-nlrb-ruling-analysis).
Here's a link to my other [SI.com stories] (http://www.si.com/author/michael-mccann) and hope you check out what we offer at [UNH Law] (http://law.unh.edu) and [our sports and entertainment law institute] (http://law.unh.edu/sports-entertainment).
I am interested in applying to Northwestern University's (Feinberg School of Medicine) Clinical Psychology MA program this year. However, I haven't found much online regarding students' experiences and views.
Would love to hear from students who have gone through the program or those who are currently enrolled. Does the program provide opportunities for students to become involved in research? What are the class sizes and course-work like? Any additional information about the program would also be appreciated!
Thank you!
Not sure which day I got the A , but just checked the status checker for the time in a week or so and got in!
Stats in flair, just wanted to share as a data point :)
Hey you all,
I am a 30 years old man who will be graduating this spring with his associate of science in biology. I recently applied to the Bachelor's Degree program at Northwestern University School of Professional Studies.
I was wondering what should I expect? How is the SPS? is there any scholarship for working students? how can I get the most financial aid ? is it possible to apply to PA program after I receive a BS from the SPS?
Parking at my undergrad was a nightmare. I never found a parking spot after 7:50 am despite paying $500 for my parking decal each semester. I'm attending Northwestern Law this fall. Is it possible to find a parking space at school? Thank you.

Introduction
What role should LRAP benefits play in your matriculation decisions? I can’t really answer that question. It’s one that depends on many factors, including your expected level of indebtedness, the level of institutional support, your career goals, and any number of other factors.
One rule of thumb is to favor flexibility over all else. Take, for example, Yale's COAP. They do not place any restriction on your career choice. It doesn’t even need to be law related, and you still receive full benefits. It is obviously the best LRAP in the country.
All other schools require you to pursue PI/Gov work to be eligible for LRAP benefits. There are people who will say that planning to depend on LRAPs or PSLF and taking out huge debt on that assumption is a bad bet because no one can know where their career will take them.
I never say never. I believe there are people who are truly PI or bust (I’m one of them). But there’s a nugget of truth in that advice. You don’t know what your post-graduation future holds.
For these reviews, I try to include as many income medians and job arcs as possible. You still need to do your own future-proofing. Which income/LRAP/debt scenario is most likely for you? What scenario is best? Which scenario is possible but would clash with an LRAP policy?
In the end, planning on relying on an LRAP is a gamble. It can be a big bet, but only you know the odds and the size of the wager you are making. Huh, that sounded trite, but I’ve already written it so it’s staying in! On to Fordham!!
Assumptions
I do all of my calculations based on Accesslex’s cost of attendance, tuition, and PAYE/IBR calculations. If there are significant errors there, my analysis will be off.
Additionally, when doing repayment scenarios, I always assume the median PI starting salary of a school with a 5% increase annually.
I have cribbed the format of 7Sage’s LRAP website, but will add additional commentary and information when necessary. I am also going to put a (?) when information is vague/I’m too inexperienced to parse the language of the document.
I’m really not trying to push anyone any one way. I don’t have an agenda beyond trying to spread PI love and joy. This is just information, as factual as can be, to the best of my abilities.
If you know more than me about a particular program, please comment! Share your wealth of information for the incoming class.
