Northwestern Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

All this waiting is KILLING ME. I know Northwestern and Barnard are the next colleges I receive decisions from so every single day I’m refreshing my inbox and stuff and I just want to see an email in there!!

@katnissjul I did Barnard too (I was deferred ED). I think that decisions for Barnard will probably be released next Friday. Good luck!!!

good luck everyone!

Also does anyone have any idea what time decisions come out?

@katnissjul Expect the evening in CST of 3/22 IMO.

Im mostly right with the date, but the timeframe specified above is 100% correct.

I was curious so I checked back in my emails. Last year I got an email from Northwestern informing me that a decision was available in my portal on Wednesday, March 21 at 6:03 pm (Eastern time). So yeah, they probably hit that send button at 5:00 pm Central time, just as the admissions office is closing for the day and they can get out before all hell breaks loose.

@Junior3 Did you get an email a couple days prior informing you of the date?

@katnissjul No, sorry, I can see how that sentence is confusing. I received my email at 6:03 pm on Wednesday, March 21 saying that a decision was available to read on the portal. So, no, no advance notice.

So should we not expect NU to announce in advance when decisions will be out? Is emailing when portals update their general practice?

I think so @drumminggeek87

Northwestern has released at 2:45 CST the past 6 years

Ugh. I’m in so much suspense! Hopefully decisions will come out this week.

Do we think it will come out wednesday, thursday, or friday?? I’ve seen and heard a lot of different things!! Give me your theories!

@umbrella13 Lots of people have seemed to say they think it will be on a Friday, but last year it was Wednesday the 21st, so I’m crossing my fingers that it will be on Wednesday the 20th.

Could be anytime between today and Friday, based on previous release dates:
Wednesday, 3/21/2018
Friday, 3/17/2017
Thursday, 3/17/2016
Monday, 3/23/2015
Thursday, 3/20/2014
Monday, 3/18/2013

HPME decisions can come out on 3/21 or 3/22 or latest 3/23 for sure by Saturday morning

Was anyone else deferred ED or know the stats for deferred applicants?
