Rej by CAS Physics

Were you guys notified via email or letter in the mail? & when did you guys apply? @BigBigger @2Brown4MyOwnGood @neoscarecrue @resonanx

Rejected engineering

Rejected CAS. But I emailed them asking if I could appeal their decision given that my midterm report was received/sent today. :frowning:

I also got rejected from Engineering today. I was wondering if Northwestern allows students to appeal. I received a lousy 3.43 last semester but am currently on track for a 4.0. (I will have my final grades late April early May.) Does anyone know how I would go about appealing a decision from Northwestern? Thanks!

@Jimboboy @BatWonder77 When did you both apply? & were you notified via mail or email?

@IBProspect123 I applied on the day of the deadline (March 15th I think) and I got an email today around 6pm of my decision

Rejected Political Science. First school to get back to me too.

Really was not expecting to hear back so soon.

@IBProspect123 I sent my application in the day of the deadline so I don’t know why I received my decision so early. They might be just weeding out applicants with low grades in the beginning. I received my decision via email.

@Jimboboy , doubt it. My GPA is 3.85 :frowning:

@BatWonder77 @Jimboboy Perhaps its alphabetical? Thanks for getting back to me.

Did you guys receive an email?

I applied on march 15 too and highly doubt it was based on GPA alone since I’ve received only one non A grade (B+ in Calc 2). Maybe they hated my SAT I/II or ACT scores?

I received an email indicating I could check the status of my application by following a link
