<p>omg.. my brother just brought the mail in, and there was big envelope from northwestern that said congratulations on the front!!! inside was a folder with the blahs blahs.. ^_^ </p>
<p>snail mail >> online posting ... wow..</p>
<p>wow, congrats!</p>
<p>Congrats!!!!!!</p>
<p>You do live in Chicago...I mean, that Fed-ex must have taken, I dont know, 25 minutes to deliver? Haha...congrats again!</p>
<p>Would you mind posting your stats and which school/major you applied to? (Or a link to a thread with this information?)</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats! :)</p>
<p>Obviously, being from NYC, I didn't get anything =)</p>
<p>We live in Chicago. Nothing from Northwestern in today's mail.</p>
<p>where do you live?</p>
<p>It says Chicago in her profile.</p>
<p>i actually live in the suburbs, but my town's post office is amazing. i don't think i've ever lost a letter in the mail.. i can't say the same about my school's post office (which loses everything i send out, including transcrpits) </p>
<p>my stats are not amazing or anything, but i'm a really down-to-earth person, so i think my interview went really well. </p>
<hr>
<p>SAT I: 1460 (pefect math, but i'm really weak with verbal, im bilingual)</p>
<p>ACT: 32 (perfect math again)</p>
<p>SAT II: 780 math 2c, 690 bio, 670 writing (really weak SAT IIs, i should have studied)</p>
<p>GPA: n/a at my school (imsa); i've had 2 b+ in high school .. all classes at my high school are considered honors </p>
<p>cheerleading and soccer.. researched in the neuroscience department at Northwestern University.. HSSP.. miss teen of il 1st runner up.. miss teen il usa 2005 interview award.. and some other ecs.. </p>
<p>i have a pretty unique background.. born in vietnam, left when i was baby, lived in a refugee camp for 2 years before coming to america... and some pretty good essays... good recs.. </p>
<hr>
<p>hopefully u guys will be receiving a big envelope soon. =)</p>
<p>^ Wow! You have really overcome a lot of obstacles in your life (Not to mention as an asian, you had the guts to enter pageants). Your application must have shined! Congratulations.</p>
<p>I also got my letter.... and I live in Chicago also... not in. It's kind of lame because it breaks my perfect acceptance record :) but I'll live, it wasn't really one of my top choices any way. Congrats to all accepted!
Edit:
My stats were 1470... 3.9 GPA (top 5%.... came up short on a few grades.. maybe too many Bs.. who knows)
My essays probably weren't that great... Northwestern was not my admissions focus... but again CONGRATS TO ALL ACCEPTED!</p>
<p>^ It's okay. You will live, definitely.</p>
<p>Since you are from Chicago did you apply for the UIC GPPA program ?</p>
<p>yea i did, but i didn't get the second interview.. there were like 18 people from my school who were with me at the first interview, and i think 6-7 of them got in (i'm assuming since they got the second interview).. my first interview didn't go so well.. i think i may have offended one of my interviewers.. and my essay was not good..</p>
<p>congrats! when was the letter postmarked?</p>
<p>congraaats!</p>
<p>thanks ^_^ . </p>
<p>yesterday, March 25.</p>
<p>^ This is the time someone said an admissions representative told him (or her) that they were sending out letters on this date as well.</p>
<p>It might have been me. He said that they'd probably send them out during the last week of March, and I guessed that it would be yesterday or today.</p>
<p>yeah, i got my letter in the mail. rejected. :-( i posted my stats in the Official Decisions Roster thread.</p>
<p>This is when living in rural south Texas becomes a distinct disadvantage. :(</p>
