<p>No way, I applied to SESP too! cool, cool...</p>
<p>I applied to McCormick for ChE. Here's to hoping they like female engineers.</p>
<p>It would be so nice if we all get in!</p>
<p>sungashick, you mentioned before that you heard fewer people (freshman applicants, of course) applied ED. I'm just curious where you heard this?</p>
<p>Btw, I emailed admissions and they gave me this standard response:</p>
<p>"We send out decisions as we make them. We plan on being finished by early
December. You will receive your decision by mail."</p>
<p>since my mom works at Northwestern and I live around here, I have lots of connections. Less freshman did not apply ED but less freshman chose to attend NW because of the common application. So that may or may not help us out. It probably will because it's all abput space but then it's about space where you are applying.</p>
<p>Hey, could you call NU (847-491-7271) to ask whether at least <em>some</em> transfer decisions are ready to be mailed out soon, as in before Thanksgiving? I believe this lady, Margarita Miranda, is in charge of transfer admissions, but I don't want to keep calling (every time I did so, she wasn't in her office so I had to speak to this person who might start to get annoyed if I keep calling and not getting through. Also, I don't have a cell phone, so I can't leave a message because she won't be able to get back to me).</p>
<p>I would suggest that it would be good to calm down.....the decisions are probably in the mail, and if not, will be shortly. I'm betting that they probably have the pre-froshies calling them as well (who are even bigger spazz attack kids than us). I think this is the point where we just sit back and chill out....or at least chill out about this....I still have midterms to spazz out about.
So good luck to everyone....and just remember to breathe.</p>
<p>I think I'd rather know the exact notification date even if it's in December than know that there's a possibility of hearing early. Everyday, I think "is today gonna be the day?" and it's so distracting.</p>
<p>I called them yesterday and got the same response. They won't tell us anything, and NW admissions is known for being rude on the phone. We just have to wait it out. Thanksgiving is early this year so maybe it's next week we'll hear.</p>
<p>I'm trying my best to keep busy with other things. otherwise, I'll drive myself crazy! I'm not even expecting the letter until December, which is not that far away either.</p>
<p>yeah....it's definitely hard, because if I don't get in (which I have a strong feeling I might not) I need to make sure I have everything lined up for spring semester. So it's like I'm kind of in limbo, and not sure if I can make plans to TA or start working on internships.</p>
<p>i'm in the same position. I don't want to put down money for housing at the other school I was accepted to until I hear from NW and I'm even more upset because other people from other schools have heard. What is their problem?</p>
<p>I finished a 300-page book in one night just trying not to think about the decisions!</p>
<p>Goodness gracious, I WISH I could be able to being doing that....instead I'm stressing over the admission decision while having engineering exams and problem sets being crammed up the wazoo all right before t-giving.
This just means I can't even go out drinking to forget about the decision. Bleh.
It's really hard since Northwestern is the only school I applied to transfer to, so I'd just like to know if I'm going to be in my all-time fave city or still stuck in the ROC.</p>
<p>you know it's bad when you wish you had homework to distract you. I'm taking the semester off so when I get home from work, I obsess.</p>
<p>HAH, you are DEFINITELY right about that. It definitely is sad that I'm grateful that all this studying and problem sets let me think about something else...
Unfortunately, since the whole decision thing is being sent to my house, I'm bugging my parental units all the time, which is not exactly fun for them.</p>
<p>^That's funny.</p>
<p>I really hope we hear before Thanksgiving but if not, we don't have that much long to wait anyway if they stick to the Dec. 1st notification date listed on the Common Data Set.</p>
<p>Hah, I called today, and the guy on the phone was rude. He was like "The more you call, the less time we have to process your application." Pssh. I think he's being inundated with phone calls.</p>
<p>Haha, mind you, I've called about this 3 times total and each separated by like 2-3 weeks. Also, they might not stick to the Dec. 1st date. Maybe they received more apps than usual?</p>
<p>yeah, this is getting kind of ridiculous. Northwestern is the only place I applied to....and my parents are also antsy since they need to know if they have to drive me out there or not, and if I have to possibly apartment search.
But, I suppose if no one else has heard anything, it's better than if a bunch of people have heard?</p>
<p>yeah, I know it's gotten bad because my mom has started calling me at work to see if I've heard. There are WAY behind this year. Honestly since none of us have heard, they aren't out yet. I don't know if they have more transfer apps but it's a whole new admissions team and there also may be more freshman ED applications. </p>
<p>And after hearing how they reacted, I don't want to call. If I don't hear by the end of this week, I'm calling because that is beyond ridiculous. My friend's sister is applying ED to Wash U and if she hears before me, I'll lose it.</p>
