I remember watching a decision reactions video (can’t remember which one or for which college) but they showed their portal and talked about how everything disappeared until they were left with the status update. Who knows, maybe Northwestern will do the same thing?
So it can go either way. It mostly means a normal thing that they do, but it could mean what everyone’s saying here.
The proof leans to the former conclusion. So not all hope’s lost yet.
Thanks for the share.
Will it hurt my chances if NU hasn’t accepted anyone from my school in years, if ever? I attend a small, out-of-state private school, and most students go on to IU or Purdue, not T15s or anything. I have good stats, but my school is rather unrecognizable.
@Mahavidya Nope.
That doesnt matter. They dont look at that while deciding on a student.
They only look at the app. This depends on your citizenship. If you’re international, then yeah, being intl, and having that clause works against you. Otherwise there’s nothing to worry about.
@Mahavidya Just because people haven’t been accepted in the past doesn’t mean you won’t, and NU isn’t evaluating you based on that fact. There are definitely “feeder schools” to top colleges, but IMO, being a competitive applicant from an unknown school might give you an edge. Don’t worry about it, and look forward to decision day (:
Thanks. I think I’m just stressing because we’re so close to the decision dates for the top schools.
I agree with @dairyqueen
Scores stayed for DS: ACT 35/36SS, 7 AP’s, 4.3GPA
Scores gone for DS: SAT 1570, 17 AP’s, 4.3 unweighted GPA, URM
just catching up on postings… so if scores are gone, is that a negative? my scores are gone from the screen
@bearden Refer to my post on the same page.
Short answer: no
I don’t know if that is the right conclusion. No one knows for sure. I don’t know if more data will bear anything out. Until there are results on admission…
@Blessed3times true, but its mostly what happens anyways/happens to some regardless of their decisions as pointed out in a post on the previous page.
My score is still there; 35 ACT (35 E, 35 M, 32 R, 36 S), 95 UW GPA.
Count me wrong or right on this, but I am thinking that decisions are being released on March 20th. I really hope it’s not on March 21st like last year because that’s my birthday and I would rather not have my day spoiled if I’m rejectd
Anyone who didn’t get an alumni interview, did you send something in to allow the adcom learn more about you? I sent a creative narrative from another app that talked a lot about myself. I also sent an update on things I’ve done, so I hope I don’t look like I’m trying too hard. I’m wondering if you guys did anything
My scores are still there…
So odd… when my son just checked again, the scores are back. Gone before and there now. lol. Just saying… probably means nothing.
My scores are back lol
@peacelove123 I did the same thing
