Does anyone know when NU releases decisions?
The website says mid-December. The past two years, decisions were released on December 14. I think it will be December 15 this year just cause it’s a Friday and they’ll wait to the end of the week but you never know since an official date isn’t given
Last year decisions were released on December 14, which was a Wednesday, so I’m hoping decisions come out Wednesday, December 13.
They haven’t released the number of ED applicants for the class of 2022, wonder how many are there…
I suspect NU did not see a boost in the number of ED applicants. Schools like releasing news reports when the number increase or acceptance rate decreases.
Does anyone know what the acceptance rate for ED is? If the number of ED applicants is roughly the same as last year, then the acceptance rate is most likely going to be around the same rate.
Last year, the ED acceptance rate was 26%. Link:

@senioritisls the ED acceptance rate last year was 26%, but the year before it was 38%. you can look at the common data set to see this, but it seems like for the past couple years the ED acceptance rate has been fluctuating between mid 20s to high 30s. hopefully this year will be higher… fingers crossed
Very true-agreed! @Noelanimb
They’ve released the date. We’re looking at December 15th
@swimninja where did they release the date?
do you know at what time? p.m.? a.m.?
Where did you find out the date?
@swimninja how do you know the date?
How did you find the date??? And what time of day will the decisions be released?
I couldn’t find the time but NU updated their apply page with the date http://admissions.northwestern.edu/clave/applying-to-northwestern.html

Let me know what you guys think!
Does anyone know if it’s bad if we didn’t self-report AP scores? The website doesn’t specifically ask for applicants to do so, but I wasn’t sure if it was expected.
Hey guys! Haven’t been on this website in awhile but I hope everyone is as stoked as I am to hear back from NU!
I think you are pretty safe. Should get in ED
