<p>all responses are appreciated.</p>
<p>if you're still waiting, i believe they are supposed to send you a letter stating that they have finished review of all the students and that they regret to inform you that they were unable to admit you off the waitlist.</p>
<p>wow seriously? i honestly hope that isnt the case....</p>
<p>(i just sent in a letter last wed on may 23rd reaffirming Northwestern as my no.1 choice....i honestly thought that i had a good chance of getting in there)</p>
<p>i mean that if they dont send you an acceptance they shoudl still send you a letter, not "if you havent gotten a reply" you havent gotten either so you still have a chance =)</p>
<p>i just heard back last thursday so you still have a chance. good luck :-) maybe try calling the admissions office and asking for a status update.</p>
<p>well now it's Tuesday May 29,2007 and i still havent heard back. I wrote a letter last wednesday reaffirming my deep interest in NW</p>
<p>im not sure what to say now. hope-ful or hope-less</p>
<p>I've been checking my letter everyday since 06 April 2007. I feel your pain. ;)</p>
<p>i just rejected my admissions last week...so i guess there is still a chance for the waitlisters</p>
<p>According to an article in the Chicago Sun Times yesterday, so far NU has admitted 400 students from their waitlist this year, almost double the amount they admitted last year.</p>
<p>wow, our yield must have been pretty bad...</p>
<p>NU just didn't "divine" the numbers correctly in these crazy admissions years.</p>
<p>Last year, NU was slightly overenrolled when they saw an app increase of ~12% and kept their admissions at the 30% mark.</p>
<p>This year they saw an app increase of 19%, but dropped their admissions rate to under 25%, and are finding that the 19% increase was a false reflection of interest, as many predicted. </p>
<p>Still, it is better to use the WL and build a class of desired size than to grapple with overenrollment for 4 years. As NU stated, they WL'ed a number of students this year that would have easily been admitted in previous years.</p>
<p>yeah well so i called up northwestern AGAIN today but didnt give my name.
i asked about the waitlist status and they said they are still pulling people off the waitlist</p>
<p>i'm not sure how much longer it'll take before i can expect to get denied</p>
<p>I can relate... I'm still waiting for my letter. Although, since so many people have received spots from the waitlist, I've kind of given up hope.</p>
<p>I know of two people from my school who got off the waitlist.. both are now attending.</p>
<p>One person at my school got of the waitlist and is attending as well. She said she was notified this past Friday.</p>
<p>Northwestern wrote to say that they are still considering my application and hope to get back to me with a response in two weeks. Keeping all fingers crossed. :)</p>
<p>wow really?</p>
<p>I never received any such email but have wrote and expressed my deep interest in attending Northwestern. I dont know how much of a chance I have left....</p>
<p>hope is waning....</p>
<p>ok so im looking at June 1st on my calendar here and still no response from northwestern about being waitlisted...</p>
<p>my question: give up or keep my fingers crossed?</p>
<p>Fingers crossed! (No point in being pessimistic.) But ready Plan B.</p>
