Its surprising that only 50% of admitted students enroll</p>
<p>^Agreed. I wish I had the chance to apply in 07-08. They accepted 343/942! Crazy!</p>
<p>Those numbers are depressing.</p>
<p>just sent in my app!! had to rewrite my essay to include chicago, which i had no idea was so close to northwestern… x.x</p>
<p>btw, i was wondering, since decisions go out on a rolling basis, when should i expect mine??</p>
<p>They begin sending decisions out after May 1st. I believe most applicants receive their decisions in June.</p>
<p>Is it true that they won’t consider an application complete, or send out a final decision, until after they receive 2nd semester grades?</p>
<p>If so, does this put students with late finals (meaning no final grades til mid may, or even people w/ finals in late may) at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>^Well I’m on the quarter system and won’t be receiving spring quarter grades until mid-late June so I’m not sure how that will work out for me.</p>
<p>^Same here. Let’s hope that’s not the case.</p>
<p>I was told to send my final transcript as soon as it becomes available. I have since emailed the transfer specialist about my situation and am awaiting a response.</p>
<p>Hey guys,
I was just wondering if someone could tell me how many letters of recs they sent in. I know the website says one but I sent all my stuff in and I guess paranoia has set in now -.-</p>
<p>I sent in 2 professor recs and 1 rec from an alum.</p>
<p>I sent in 3 recs, two from professors and one from the Honors Program director.</p>
<p>Will Northwestern contact you if your app is incomplete? I sent it in weeks ago and haven’t had any communication with them since.</p>
<p>^I emailed them to confirm NU received the required materials. I’d do the same if you’re unsure.</p>
<p>Have we determined what impacts our decision date? Is it dependent on submitting our Common App or submitting our spring grades? Or neither and is 100% random O.o</p>
<p>^I wish I knew although it wouldn’t be fair for those on the quarter system if our chances were hindered because our spring quarter doesn’t end until mid-June.</p>
<p>I just realized that I called the quarter system the “trimester system” at least twice in one of my essays.</p>
<p>Is this as bad as I think it is? Is there anything I can do at this point?</p>
<p>^not a big deal to be honest.</p>
<p>On another note, did anyone get an email from NU today about their application being complete and under review?</p>
<p>I just got the email about my application being complete and under review today. I mailed in all my stuff early Feb.</p>
<p>^Likewise.</p>
