Northwestern Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

@Hawkrunner2000 Did I really promise? If so, I’m sorry. Genuinely. I was basing it off historical release dates. I shouldnt have used such a strong word, I get it, but I corrected myself later based on the latest data.

If you’re referring to my rudeness in my previous comment on this thread, I’d really suggest users (I’m not referring to you here) first read what I was saying and in what context I was saying it before jumping to accusations of spreading misinformation.

That information is totally valid in its own accord as its not made up, and is totally a valid response from a credible source (which wasnt me, andI’ve mentioned the source in my previous message here).

It’s really pointless going about accusations when you can clearly choose to ignore opinions, and consider validity of the facts/statements. That’s something that annoys me.

Note: The disparity in sources and data they’re releasing is clearly evident if you read previous posts. Hence, I was siding with the latest and seemingly most valid source and/or data.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:

See my earlier note on the thread. No one outside of admissions can “promise” anything. Users are welcome to report what they hear/suspect, and others are welcome to disregard.

But the snarky responses because a decision was not released at the “promised” time is unwarranted, and that needs to end.

Thanks @reallycuriousmom , this is the most credible information I’ve seen. For the benefit and stress level for all followers of this forum, I hope your alumni committee is correct! Again, good luck to all and remember - be kind to each other.

I just really don’t think they will release next week, over spring break. The admissions office is closed next week. Today is the last day of finals. I don’t have any inside information, just my opinion.

Thank you so much @reallycuriousmom !

I’d place my bet on today, though trends may certainly change in the midst of this cheating scandal.

For at least the past 3 years they notified RD applicants shortly before their Spring Breaks:

Notified on Wed. 3/21/18 - Break started Sat. 3/24/18.

Notified on Fri 3/17/17 - Break started Sat. 3/18/17
Notified on Thurs 3/17/16 - Break started on Sat. 3/19/16

I’m curious if anyone knows of any year in which they notified AFTER their Spring Break started?

@LuvsLabs Makes a fair point. IMO, none of the years had the notification after spring break.

But this confuses me even more. Some say it’ll be today (conclusively) while some say they were notified with the ‘end of march’/‘apr 1’ time frame.

So, I’d say idk at this point.

@skieurope I am sorry, I understand he is not an official and that him saying it did not ensure anything. I was just upset that he was criticizing others for what he had done. Sorry for creating more chaos and drama.

Anybody else sign up for the Informed Delivery that USPS offers so they can see if their letter is coming in the mail that day? ?

I am a parent who has a child also waiting for decision, by following this thread for the past weeks, I honestly feel my anxiety level has been increased everyday. If I see my child constantly checking his portal and throwing so much time on this, I would be very worried, because it is very distracting. You guys are all very talented, and no matter where you are going, I believe you all going to do well, so for those seniors still in schools, please stay focused on what you really need to focus, when the time comes, you will know the results.

I am signed up for Informed Delivery and other mails coming in but not from NW.

What time do they usually release decisions?

Is there any reason why people would think it wouldn’t come out today? Today counts as “before the end of march.” I think it’s just a policy they have of not revealing the exact date besides “late march.”

Do they come out at 5:45- 6:00PM?

Decisions are coming out today or tomorrow! My friend’s mom is a piano teacher at Bienan, and she got an email earlier this week saying admissions decisions will be sent out by the end of this week! We can all just hope that it’s today. Only a little more waiting guys:) Good Luck!

It’s today then because they won’t come out on a Saturday for RD

Both ED this year and RD last year came out at 4:45 CT (5:45 ET). Source, looked in CC threads for first announcements.

Heard from a very reliable source that it’s today… not sure what time, but the wait is almost over! Good Luck to All!!

Wow this thread has gotten salty ?
For my part I appreciate y’all trying to help figure out when the release date is, even if it’s just speculation. Love all you guys and appreciate this mini-support group we have going on. Good luck to everyone; we’re in this together.

y’all chill, we were in this boat last year and anxiety is real. I am a parent of current NU Weinberg freshman.
Spring break is officially starting this weekend. Feel free to ask or PM me questions and try to address them with my best knowledge. Good luck to everyone.
