<p>What should I be on the lookout for? What should I be asking? Does anyone know what the typical schedule is?</p>
<p>For admitted students or just a visit?</p>
<p>I believe its for admitted students.</p>
<p>It's just a visit. I am a junior in high school right now.</p>
<p>Northwestern students are back in school in April, so any time in April is nice. May I suggest one of the tours provided by the school? They take you around and show you some nice things. </p>
<p>One thing to note though is to stay away from Wildcat Days (Sneak preview for Admitted Students). This generally is roughly the end of April.</p>
<p>The April event is for newly-admitted students. I attended the April event years ago when I was accepted.</p>
<p>when are the wildcat days?</p>
<p>Yeah, does anyone know when in April the admitted student days would be?</p>
<p>Call and ask, but I believe they may have 3 weekends for it. I'd aim for the first week in May for a visit, you want to avoid wildcat days.</p>
<p>What is wrong with wildcat days? I just wanna know?</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with Wildcat Days. Although as a prospective student, you're gonna want to stay away from those days due to the massive influx of admitted students coming in to visit. I don't believe tours are given on those days, but I could be wrong. Not to mention parking can be hassling on those busy days.</p>
<p>Just book a local hotel in the area (Best Western, Hilton, Hotel Orrington) and walk over to the campus on admitted days. It's really not that big of a hassle. Make sure you make a reservation now.</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for my decision, along with a bajillion other people, I think. However, I'm making plans to visit Chicago in April, and I was wondering about the Wildcat days. Does anyone know what kind of schedule there is for that? Is it on a Saturday? That would seem odd considering the typical admissions workweek, but would be ideal for me. It's looking like right now we'll be flying in Wednesday night, but I am completely booked Thursday and Friday. I'll need to head back home Saturday night at the latest.</p>
