<p>you'll be a competitive applicant....
you got yer app already...i sent out mine like two weeks ago too, and i haven't heard from northwestern at ALLLLL....does that mean that I got rejected?</p>
<p>Tofu-no news is good news?</p>
<p>Tofu - don't worry, I'm pretty sure they tell you if they're not going to send you an app....Mine took about a week and a half, I think, and I physically sent it in (by snail mail:) )</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>
<p>i haven't gotten my application yet and i'm worried! i have a 2380 on the sat and 780, 760 on math and chem. should i email them or something?</p>
<p>same here...i've been waiting for three weeks.
ughh</p>
<p>hey i got a 640 in Math IIC does that put me out of the applicant range</p>
<p>and 700 in chem and 730 in bio M</p>
<p>no you migh tbe okay</p>
<p>So, does anybody know an approx percentage of the people who receive an application if they request one by the Dec. 1 deadline? 25%? 50% 75%?</p>
<p>I dunno about when they send it, but I believe overall: ~1000 ppl request app and ~900 receive it</p>
<p>call them!!! It's been too long, i think, at least for you, Tofu. They would have sent you a rejection letter by now, so they probably lost it or something. Make sure you tell them that you sent the card in before Dec. 1</p>
<p>yeah...i called em today...they told me that they never got it even though i mailed it out like nov 22nd i think, so they allowed me to fax it over...i'm sure that they've got it now....lol</p>
<p>thebillsfan: i think the breakdown is something like this...</p>
<p>Cut 50% by request card
out of remaining 50%, they cut 75% by application
out of remaining 12.5%, they cut another 50% by interview...</p>
<p>dunno if it works exactly like that, but maybe because that leaves us with
6.25% acceptance, in which about 62-63 get accepted outta a 1000.</p>
<p>Guys, did anyone send in the HPME application yet? Want to tell me how to go about getting all the required stuff in? Such as...do we send a separate SSR and teacher rec?</p>
<p>As I recall, the breakdown (which is posted elsewhere on this thread; I'm simply too tired to go look for it) is pretty close to this:</p>
<p>1000 send in the application request card
900 receive an application
100 receive interviews
50 are accepted</p>
<p>I'm positive there was an admissions rate of 5% into the program, though that might significantly reduce because I've heard that they're trying to cut down the program in terms of people in it.</p>
<p>damn it
lol...that's not good</p>
<p>joannerz, i sent all of my materials in one 9x12 envelope, including teacher recs, ssr and the rest of the stuff</p>
<p>cutting it down? ugh.</p>
<p>sorry to sound dumb, but what is this ssr that you speak of?</p>
<p>secondary school report?</p>
<p>oh ok, thanks</p>
