<p>I think this happened before to another college. They release a small number of decisions to test whether the system is working properly before releasing the massive number the next day.</p>
<p>what if I haven’t gotten an e-mail yet?</p>
<p>I don’t know if this will help any, but I applied ED and never got the email (Outlook), so I ended up just having to wait for the letter in the mail. I hope you all get one, though!</p>

<p>There are a ton of Medill people who haven’t gotten them…</p>
<p>yeah, seriously. anyone with a number to call or an email address should contact them. this is absurd.</p>
<p>I applied for WCAS.</p>
<p>I’m going to e-mail them right now and ask if there’s a problem with the e-mail system. I’ll let you guys know if I get a response back (I doubt I’ll get one tonight).</p>
<p>okay i’ve been lurking long enough, i want to post :)</p>

<p>this is driving me nuts. i only know one person who got the email, and she got rejected.</p>
<p>I can’t think of what to write without sounding like a complete moron… anyone else want to try? here’s the e-mail:</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:ug-admission@northwestern.edu”>ug-admission@northwestern.edu</a></p>
<p>All right. I’m giving up.</p>
<p>I guess I have to wait for the letter in the mail. Ugh.</p>
<p>I don’t like how… I could be waiting all this time, just for a rejection. Haha…</p>

<p>And I was the one to first come up with the theory that maybe spam protection at Yahoo and Comcast automatically blacklisted NU’s mailserver for “spamming.”</p>
<p>I ran this whole thing by #2600 and my theory seems to hold water, Yahoo and Comcast are known for auto-blacklisting huge mass mailers that try to send all their messages at one time, figuring that they are spamming.</p>
<p>Also my stats:
ACT: 32
SAT: 1440
GPA: 4.00UW</p>
<p>Geez, I’ve gotta say, the seeming total lack of regard for its prospective students here is really making me hate NU a bit. :/</p>
<p>futureEE: I use Yahoo but I got mine at 6. I don’t know what it is but it’s not because of Yahoo’s filtering problem.</p>
