Northwestern 两年JD项目 大家觉得有价值吗？

我是考GMAT的，但是收到这么个邮件：

Northwestern Law’s Accelerated JD program, now in its second year, allows students to obtain a full JD degree in just two calendar years and provides them with the flexibility to pursue future careers that combine positions in the legal and business industries.  As a core initiative in our recently announced strategic plan update, this innovative program is designed for highly motivated and forward-thinking students who see the value of resuming their careers a year sooner than in a traditional three-year program and who realize the benefits of combining a traditional legal education with additional training in areas such as quantitative methods, negotiations, business strategy, organizational behavior, business communication, and teamwork.  When applying, candidates may take either the GMAT or the LSAT as their required entrance exam and both receive equal consideration in the admissions process.  To apply or for further information and a copy of the Accelerated JD program brochure, please visit us at: http://www.law.northwestern.edu/academics/ajd/

大家觉得，2年读出来的JD市场接受度如何？

还有，他们是5月份入学的，5月份毕业。这个毕业时间会不会对找工作不利啊？

而且，一般的JD是不是第三年有很多的时间找工作？要是那样，这两年的JD课程量一点不少，可怎么有时间找工作啊？

大家帮忙分析一下呗

上这个2-YEAR JD, 工作比上3-YEAR JD的难多了. 雇主也很聪明, 有那么多3-YEAR JD都找不到工作, 何必考虑2-YEAR的呢?

此外, 2-YEAR JD:
1. 没机会实习
2. 不能参加JOURNAL或MOOT COURT
3. 没有奖学金
4. 学费还高

我也收到了，很久以前考的GMAT。成绩一般

Although this e-mail does not serve as an indication of your chances for admission, we invite you to apply to the Accelerated JD program at Northwestern Law for the 2010-2011 academic year and will waive your application fee to do so.

我关心的是，这个项目奖学金多少，学费多少

2年能读完，应该能省下很多钱

我查过这个学校，学费是很难节省的，因为2年的学费是比照3年来收的，所以一共要付12万8，和3年的学费综合是一样的。

这个项目完全没有奖学金, 是全自费.

西北这个两年JD项目前年入学LSAT平均分158，去年161。而且只要有个160+LSAT成绩，其他条件不太差，基本都能接到AD。的确少有奖学金和参与西北法学院的就业服务，圈钱像十足。

楼上说的两年项目和lz收到的accelerated JD program完全两码事。
