<p>mperezrosas, i hadn't freaked out at all -- until tonight. trust me, some sort of panic attack will hit you, and it won't be pleasant.</p>
<p>for me, it's just driving me crazy that NOWHERE on the NU site does it specify the details abt when we find out. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?</p>
<p>I sympathize completely! Then we have to rely on sketchy CC info...</p>

<p>...which seems to change on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Exactly. I'm tired of checking compulsively because they don't put any info on the website.</p>

<p>Early Decision applications have increased about 7 percent from last year, Northwestern administrators said Monday.</p>
<p>The current application count is 1,411, but that number will decrease slightly over the next week as some applications are canceled and incomplete ones are weeded out, said Robert Henkins, senior system manager at University Enrollment.</p>
<p>Based on the average number of applications that have been weeded out in the past, the final number of Early Decision applications this year is expected to be about 1,291, Henkins said.</p>
<p>This number is an increase over past Early Decision application counts of 1,208 for the class of 2010 and 1,079 for the class of 2009, Henkins said.</p>
<p>Associate Provost for University Enrollment Michael Mills said the increase in applications could be attributed to three factors: NU's recent adoption of the Common Application, more high school visits and expanded recruiting efforts in more cities.</p>
<p>NU started using the Common Application for the class of 2011. Prospective students can use the Common Application to apply to almost 300 colleges and universities. </p>
<p>About 47 percent of applicants used the NU online application and about 53 percent used the Common Application, Henkins said.</p>
<p>Visits to high schools and cities this summer and fall also were about double what they have been in the past, Mills said.</p>
<p>NU targeted predominantly low-income or predominantly black and Latino schools in its expanded recruiting efforts, Mills said.</p>
<p>Alan Cubbage, vice president for university relations, said NU has been trying to increase economic diversity on campus through this increased recruiting. </p>
<p>NU will try to translate this increased exposure into increased enrollment of low-income students by offering them better financial aid packages, Cubbage said.</p>
<p>"The hope is that we'll be able - with low income students - to offer financial aid packages that do not include loans but include scholarships," he said.</p>
<p>NU will be able to offer these better financial aid packages because of The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Family Scholarships, which will be funded by a gift from the Ryan family, Cubbage said. NU began replacing loans with scholarships for a limited number of low-income students in the Class of 2010. </p>
<p>The Ryan family gift will help increase the number of affected students, but these scholarships will be offered only to top-performing, low-income students, he said.</p>
<p>At this point, NU doesn't have enough funding to provide scholarships to all low-income students, Cubbage said.

<p>Now I'm even MORE nervous!!! :-) Good luck, everybody!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!!!!!!!! I am freaking out!!!!!</p>
<p>50 minutes.....</p>
<p>LOL! I'm definitely counting down, too.</p>
<p>Good luck from the Vanderbilt board!</p>
<p>I AM GOING TO NORTHWESTERN NEXT YEAR!!!!
Who else got in??????</p>
<p>Wow just when we needed CC it was down. My D was rejected from NU. I am shocked. The worst is now she has all those other apps to do, and a bunch of auditions for musical theater programs. And she insists on being in a production. And now must really keep grades up. Her SATs are great, 770M, 710W, 710R SAT2, 740M2, 700 Lit. and over 3.9 GPA. But for some reason its not the right school for her. Congrats to those who got in!</p>
<p>i dont understand</p>
<p>my bro's friend</p>
<p>unweighted 92 GPA honors/aps competitive high school, 1400 SAT, accepted</p>
<p>accept--the music school is always the hardest, no matter where your D goes.
good luck</p>
<p>It's not just about SAT/ACT scores, GPA, strength of schedule. Admissions officers look at the total picture and are looking for the same "fit" that students seek. </p>
<p>You may well have a student rejected with 2400 SAT and several AP scores of 5, but perhaps the essays were not compelling or maybe the list of extra curriculars was "off" somehow. </p>
<p>A school can be looking for a tuba player and a tuba player applies with a 3.5 gpa and a 1250 SAT and s/he may take precedence over the person with the highest scores, class rank and so forth.</p>
<p>It's a jungle out there, that's for sure.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got accepted ED. Best of luck to those who did not. </p>
<p>Annoying that College Confidential crashed at the moment the decisions were released. Sheesh.</p>
