<p>I believe they will. Considering that fact that many schools said April 1. Many schools have released decisions three weeks earlier than they said they would. Hopefully we hear back from NU this weeks or next week on March 27. Hopefully not in April(too long). I think NU wants that element of surprise. Like we all are here talking about the the date. What if NU did something slick like sent them in the middle of the night. We all get up for school and its in our inbox, that would be so awesome and a great surprise. LOL, I wish!</p>
<p>No, not awesome. It would induce a heart attack or two. Imagine... you're in your pj's, eatting you rice krispies, you decide on a whim t check your email/facebook/twiiter and BAM! the email that will decide you fate for the next four years is suddenly, inexplicably, there, right there!</p>
<p>unless you die from the heart attack...BAM!</p>
<p>that was my exact experience during the ED results. Nobody knew for sure when they would come out. So in the morning at like 6 am i was eating breakfast before a debate tournament. It was a saturday and i decided to randomly check and BAM! HEART ATTACK!!! there it was. I was shaking as I opened it. I was deferred. It was a horrible feeling. Words cannot describe it. All that waiting just to find out you have to wait even longer. hahha</p>
<p>I understand that feeling. Even if you're prepared for it, the letter still smacks you and says, "BAM! You just got myocardial infarctioned!"</p>
<p>i have a feeling it will be next saturday... it's just a hunch.</p>
<p>I would love that.</p>
<p>Well if evidence says that they like the element of surprise - so sometime next week would be a more fitting judgment. I think the morning is the most interesting time of day to get a decision because you're kind of sleeping and half awake. That's when I checked my SAT scores in January. It sucks, because if you fall back asleep and wake up and you're rejected, then you're going to be like, wow... I just had a nightmare, and it really wasn't. Ok I am looking too much into this. I kind of like not knowing because at least now you can still be hopeful enough to expect something - but then your curiosity is satiated and if it's a no, then it's a hopeful desire ended, then, right then, and that's the end of your prospects in Evanston.</p>
<p>Yeah, like aturof said, NU is completely random about when they send out decisions. 6 am on a Saturday was pretty unusual.</p>
<p>Why do I feel like I am on the WashU discussion board after reading all these posts? lol</p>
<p>@ maak : true..i also feel the same</p>
<p>why does collegeboard say "by April 15"? >_> if they do that I might have to killl myself.</p>
<p>April 15th is the latest possible date.</p>
<p>My year it was at 12:30 EDT the Saturday after Ivy Notifcation Thursday (aka The Day of Crushed Dreams)</p>
<p>My email:
Dear Adcom officers,</p>
<p>I'd just like to ask if there is a set date for the release of the Autumn '09 freshman admissions? Also, would we be notified of the decisions via email?</p>
<p>Hope to receive the news soon :)</p>
<p>Sincerely,
arekanderina</p>

<p>augh! looks like we're in for an uncertain wait ;_________;</p>
<p>Haha, did you really think it would be that easy arekanderina?</p>
<p>Well, didn't hurt to try :3</p>
<p>At least now we know that we won't be getting a specific date anytime soon.</p>
<p>(hey, my nickname in school is goldfish!)</p>
<p>I can personally say that I received my Northwestern decision roughly a week before April 1st, about 5-6 days before all the Ivies came out with their decisions. It'll be unexpected, but just keep checking around these boards. People here are quick at finding out when decisions have come out. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>i emailed them too....haha :D</p>
<p>let's hope it's out by 27th</p>
