<p>dont assume its rejection, because they sent me a waitlist (ugh. more limbo) desicion, and it could be that they have put out only these and acceptances, but not all of them (true now, though, that many of these spots seem to be taken) i still think that there is hope for you guys (hopefully you arent placed into pergatory with me.) good luck!</p>
<p>if you are doing online notification, you need to have a good server, or else stick to packages. If their server was having trouble, they should have made sure decisions were all posted before sending the email out. For a top university, yes, this is very unprofessional anyway you look at it. </p>
<p>And I am not worried my email will affect my decision (I think they already sent letters out anyway) because it was clear to the point, but polite. If they would reject someone for writing a letter in this situation, then it is not a school I would like to be at.</p>
<p>OK...NU is my number 1 choice...but i'm facing the fact that i'm rejected...THERE'S ALWAYS TRANSFER CHANCE OR GRAD SCHOOL!</p>
<p>There's a difference between being upset because they were careless and whining and moaning about how it's the end of the world and NU is the devil.</p>
<p>"Wanted to offer some caution to everyone suggesting "spamming" and writing letters - your admissions decisions have yet to be released... Why make yourself appear obnoxious, impatient or immature to the admissions department?"</p>
<p>no offense, just saying...decisions were already mailed out on the 25th; they can't change them now.</p>
<p>I don't really think anyone was saying Northwestern was the devil and calling it the end of the world. Personally, I'm not really gonna go there either way cause of where I'm already in, but I can totally understand where people are coming from. I know that if this situation was happening with a school that is my number one, like Yale (god I hope this doesn't happen), I would be much more angry. Everyone waits so long, that to get people's hopes up, and then force them to wait even longer, while expecting results "any minute" is really cruel, intentional or not.</p>
<p>so then why did you even send the email?</p>
<p>Kratos, i was amused by your response to my post, and i'll leave it as it stands. Whether you want to interpret that as your victory is your choice - i honestly don't have the time or patience to bother arguing my point with someone like you: i know your pride means far more to you than it does to me. I'll just say that what you said offended me personally, because first of all, never once did i say that a rejection from NWU would be the end of the world for me. I applied as a prospective student interested in attending the school, but i obviously considered other places. I was simply upset at the fact that NWU dealt with the admissions process so unprofessionally in terms of releasing decisions, and i had every right to express my unhappiness. This forum is open to discussion, and it was my bad that i told you to leave, because you have every right to create a new account and stay. Express whatever opinions you have, but i'm not going to waste another second trying to argue.</p>
<p>I wrote an email because despite personally having to step back and tell myself I wasn't really going to go to Northwestern, I got caught up in the process. I also strongly empathize with the people in my situation who have been anticipating this decision much more than I have. I know that if this were my top choice, there would be no way I could stop myself from constantly checking back to see if my results were up. I wanted to help them be heard I guess, and also I was feeling a little ****ed off myself out of principle.</p>
<p>yeah i guess i would be ****ed if i didnt know. oh wait, i dont. dang waitlist.</p>
<p>well...at least you know you don't know....haha..college sucks.</p>
<p>haha. for real. i got waitlisted here, and in at another place, and the exact opposite happened to my best friend. wierd, ay?</p>
<p>well here in NYC it's 1:35, so I'm out. But I hope this all gets cleared up tommorow.</p>

<p>Wow, could you get any more arrogant? Stop talking like you're instantly better than me because I have a different opinion than you.</p>
<p>"I'll just say that what you said offended me personally, because first of all, never once did i say that a rejection from NWU would be the end of the world for me.

<p>And I have every right to express my distaste with how many of you choose to express your unhappiness. Yet somehow your outlash against me is justified, and when I do it, I'm insolent.</p>
<p>"This forum is open to discussion, and it was my bad that i told you to leave, because you have every right to create a new account and stay. Express whatever opinions you have, but i'm not going to waste another second trying to argue."</p>
<p>Please. Don't back out so soon. I'm interested to hear more about how you don't have time or patience to deal with insolent fools such as myself.</p>
<p>Hey guys.. No need to get into arguments about it...
We're all pretty vexed with this whole situation..
Hopefully NU will fix the problem by tomorrow, but if not then I guess we'll all find out our real decisions on Monday....
Oh well...</p>
<p>HAhahah your response is exactly why i'm not going to bother arguing with you Kratos - i really have more worthwhile things to do than to write rebuttals for every sentence of someone's post against me to make myself feel better.</p>
<p>And yes, there's really nothing more we can do but wait. So hopefully their will be a status update sometime soon. Good luck again to everyone.</p>
<p>Yet you KEEP responding to my posts. I quote this from your last post: "but i'm not going to waste another second trying to argue."</p>
<p>And once again, you make an attempt to prove how you're better than me and how I'm doing this for pride and to make myself feel better and blah blah blah. Why don't you grow up, and try to engage in a debate in an adult manner? Or would you just like to keep on with your arrogant ways?</p>
<p>Why don't you two put a sock in it. This forum doesn't need any more tension dumped into it, let alone two guys endlessly running circles around each other, thank you.</p>
<p>I really dont want to bust anyone's bubbles... but I also live in Chicago and was also rejected (chickenlegs or w/e your name is... you aren't the only one). I had a 1470 SAT and a great GPA and rank.. but I didn't write my essays to stand out.. I just wrote them. My teacher recs definitely weren't the best.. but I'm not heartbroken.</p>
<p>My letter came this morning... but my decision is not posted online. As lame as it may sound... I think that only the accepted people got any response. I'm holding out hope for those of you without a message that want in, but I think it's likely that I'm right. Mine is only one case, but it seems plausible.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Alright, i'm sorry that i began arguing and i'll stop, whatever it takes to make amends and reshift the focus back to this thread. I was being immature and i apologize for wasting everyone's patience and time. Sorry Kratos, it's just not a good day for college decisions.</p>
