No, Northwestern RD release date will be next Friday.

I believe they were referring to Northeastern not Northwestern

Oh, NU generally means Northwestern. If you click on NU, you will be directed to Northwestern page.

Sorry, my bad.

In Boston NU means Northeastern regardless of what CC links to.

And to clarify further, @foodlovr437 must have applied EA at NU.

True. A lot people also use NEU for Northeastern. I wonder why NEU does not link back to Northeastern on CC?

Yes thank you all for clarifying! I meant Northeastern, and I did apply EA.

Ok so here is my thought, i doubt they will wait until the 27th because they never release it the day they say. I don’t remember them ever releasing on a saturday too so my guess is sometime between wednesday and friday.

I’ve read that last year RD came out on March 21, which was a Saturday.

Yeah but Saturday is also Passover so I don’t think they will release it then, they aren’t religious necessarily but they are sensitive to religious holidays. A lot of people expected decisions to be released on 1st day of Hanukkah for ED1 but they just did portal maintenance that day and tricked everyone. Idk I could be wrong.

BU sent an email a while ago - “Admission decisions will be posted on MyBU on March 27, 2021. You will receive an email when your decision is available.”

But the ED decision date had not been announced in advance. An email from BU said they would be released on the 27th.

And Passover starts at sundown on Saturday, whereas BU normally releases around 9am EST. I’m Jewish, not an issue…

I’m not saying it would be an issue I’m just sharing my hopeful thoughts

I’d love it to be sooner, but when a school says “it will be released on…” that is very different than “it will released by…”

In other words, if they pick a date, they usually hit that date.

Yeah ur probably right but I just really want to know now and waiting until Saturday is torture. I applied early September and the wait is killing me. Idk how I can wait until April 6th for ivy day haha

I like how NEU did it, it was really just out of nowhere, I didn’t believe it

That is how Northeastern always does it. BU did it the same way until a couple years ago.

For ED1, they released on a Friday right around 5 pm. With Saturday being the beginning of Passover maybe Friday again around the same time. You’ll definitely know by Sunday.
