<p>Traditionally...NU has accepted ~50% of their EDs</p>
<p>My brother got rejected from Columbia early today (Welsh0913)</p>
<p>How much do you think applying for finanical aid really hurts you? I know they said theyre need blind institutions, but stilll......</p>
<p>a lil bit of stats from my high school</p>
<p>2003: 18 applied, 9 got in, 5 attending
2004: 18 applied, 9 got in, 4 attending</p>
<p>Last year I only knew one girl who got in early to NU</p>
<p>1000 ED applicants..thats not a lot compared to last yr..</p>
<p>i said it was probably nearly 50% this year just because the number of applications was down from last years' (when they accepted 46%) and they are accepting the same number of humans</p>
<p>SATURDAY at 1
im plan on sleeping in till about 12:55 so i won't be writhing in agony at 12
but knowing me its going to be the one saturday i wake up early</p>
<p>Wait, do we get the e-mails at one o'clock eastern time?</p>
<p>Hey, I'm so glad there are fellow cherubs here. I'm so nervous you guys (this is Bonnie, by the way....Blown Sideways). Did you guys read that one about how "most people who are cherubs get in"? I hope so. When do we think the e-mails will be out?</p>
<p>HEY BONNIE!!!!!!</p>
<p>We were doing lifts in my Cabaret class and I had this goofy guy who kind of reminded me of Ryan... and I toooooooootally thought of you two in the Hustle. </p>
<p>I'm up at 5 because it is hailing, there is a giant thunder/lighting storm, and the sky is most assuredly red/orange. Doomsday, anyone?</p>
<p>If it doesn't make you too nervous, reading the thread will give you perspective on when we think the admissions office will actually tell us. It's probably tomorrow at 1pm.</p>
<p>also, current list of cherubs applying ED:
David
Jake
Marisa
Elena
Kate C.
Anya
Kaitlin
me, Phil
you, Bonnie
others?</p>
<p>hi.. i'm new to this CC thing haha... well anyway im a korean living in hong kong.. and i am yet another hopeful, nervous wreck... eagerly waiting for the results that are coming on 1pm saturday eastern time?? which means like sunday for me... :S argh good luck to you all.</p>
<p>wats a cherub</p>
<p>Cherubs are what they call those of us who attend(ed) the National High School Institute (a summer program at Northwestern).</p>
<p>I know this may sound weird, but is anyone going to wait for the snail mail, rather than the e-mails? I just always pictured opening the mail box and either seeing a small envelope or a big one.</p>
<p>deferred.. it's hard to say precisely what a cherub is... but cherubs they ain't.
and skyhigh, i, too, had imagined it that way but 1) i fear my mom would get to the mail before me and 2) there's no way i could make myself stay offline for ~3 days as to not check.</p>
<p>hmmm. exactly when do we get to know? arghh</p>
<p>they're saying saturday at 1 eastern?</p>
<p>Who is saying that?</p>
<p>It better be at 1 EDT tomorrow! Or I'm going to track down whoever said that! :)</p>
<p>lets see...anyone want to start a count down???</p>
<p>We could be starting a countdown that lasts 5 days.....do we really know that we'll find out tomorrow? The anxiety is killing me.........</p>
<p>16 Hours, 19 Minutes</p>
<p>i called at 5 eastern and talked to a very sleepy-sounding admissions lady.</p>
<p>"hi, my name is blahblah. i'm an early decision applicant. i'm wondering if you have a specific date or time when notification emails will be sent."
"excuse me?"
"i'm curious about when i will recieve my decision notification email."
"we start tomorrow."
"ok, thank you very much..."</p>
<p>i'm serious. it was that vague.
how does one "start" to send out a mass email?
and when does one "finish" this excrutiating process?</p>
<p>MY FRIEND GOT INTO BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for him. This vicarious victory over admissions of tonight may weaken the blow of an actual loss to that same beast tomorrow.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK! PROBABLY LESS THAN 24 HOURS!</p>
