Anyone received a confirmation email

<p>Has anyone received emails from northwestern after sending their early decision app? </p>

<p>@lellywang I have not received an email from Northwestern but received emails from all other schools I applied to. I asked the admissions office an unrelated question a few weeks ago and they mentioned that I should hear about confirmation of application materials in mid-November.</p>

<p>I applied early decision as well and I haven’t heard anything either, all my other EA schools have sent me login information. I guess we will get something eventually!!</p>

<p>You do not get login information. You will receive an email with a link that takes you to another page with the results!</p>

<p>@NorthwesternDad Are you saying that we get our acceptance/declination “letters” via email and not normal mail? Or do we get our emails at the same time they send out physical letters so that we know sooner?</p>

<p>I sure hope it doesn’t go to my spam folder unnoticed like most coincidentally important emails… </p>

<p>The email comes out first with the link for acceptance or otherwise; the letter follows later on. You are better off checking the spam folder as it has happened to land there for quite a few.</p>

<p>@NorthwesternDad‌ So this is the only communication Northwestern gives students? How are we supposed to know if our transcripts ever got to them? Ahhh! Thanks for your reply! :open_mouth: </p>

<p>You can always call the admissions office or email them!</p>

<p>If they use the CA, check on the CA site to see if they downloaded the application materials. Today, finally, my son’s ED choice downloaded his materials. But they have not sent out a confirmation email yet.</p>

<p>Go to “Recommenders and FERPA” in the CA under “My Colleges” and the school to check. If it only says “Submitted” they have not downloaded and printed out materials yet.</p>

<p>I emailed them earlier and they said that I will receive an email telling me which item is missing or that they have… assuming mid November as first post</p>

<p>@NorthwesternDad Neat, thanks for the info! I was hoping they’d come via email because: 1) no waiting for USPS, even though I only live in Wisconsin, and 2) I’d rather find out when I’m not around anyone else since I’m so unsure :/</p>

<p>@Jamesesesess Good luck!</p>

<p>@NorthwesternDad Thank you!! I got my ACT scores last night (second time taking it) and I’m at the same 31 I got the first time, so my mind is really a mess today :frowning: hopefully my essays and teacher recs will compensate since they were all pretty spectacular. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! lol! what schools are you guys applying to? Im applying to the School of Communications pursuing a degree in Communications. Anyone else apply there?</p>

<p>Just got one today!!! </p>

<p>In past years ED applicants have started a general thread to chat after applications have been submitted. Maybe someone wants to start this years’ “Northwestern University ED Thread 2014” so you have a place to meet and commiserate as you await decisions. :)</p>

<p>Here’s an example from a previous year… <a href=“Northwestern University Early Decision thread 2010 - Northwestern University - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/1025436-northwestern-university-early-decision-thread-2010-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Best of luck everyone. Go Cats!</p>

<p>I’ve gotten the confirmation too. If you haven’t, there’s probably a problem.</p>

<p>I got a conformation email last night!!! </p>

<p>@MomCares I started one a couple of days ago! </p>

<p>@acceeptmee23 - The thread I’m suggesting is different – it’s for getting to know each other and general discussion, not for results. Maybe you’ll want to start one of those as well? :)</p>
