Northwestern RD Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

I mean considering ED decisions came out at 5:00 CT, it’s most probable they will come out tomorrow.

it doesn’t look like it’s today :frowning: hopefully it’s tomorrow!

my counselor has a call scheduled with them for monday so she doubts that they’re going to release before then.

I’m doubtful now that it’s going to be tomorrow and I’m betting on next thursday

@oPhilippos I don’t think that means anything. I think its reasonable to bet that its tomorrow. Just cause your counselor is calling them on Monday doesn’t mean its going to change to next Thursday lol.

Scheduled counselor calls (coming from the university and not the other way around) usually means that the school wants to either learn more or clarify something about the student before making an admission decision. That’s probably why @oPhilippos feels like decisions won’t be released tomorrow. We’ll see.

Is it likely to come on Saturday, if not tomorrow?

decisions don’t usually come out on Saturdays… so if we don’t get a decision tomorrow, then expect next thurs/fri

My GC told me that she received an email from Northwestern this afternoon informing her that decisions would be released either tonight or tomorrow evening. They obviously didn’t come out tonight, so it looks like we’ll be seeing them tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!!!

@jksdjksd11 Are you sure the email is from Northwestern admissions? Has anybody else received such an email? I called the office yesterday. The person on the phone said they are still reviewing and any announcement this week seems unlikely.

What time would the decision be out?

ED was out 5 PM central, 6 PM eastern

tomorrow?

yup tomorrow^

I really hope it is tomorrow. The wait is the worst part.

What time do they go out usually?

In 2016, my D received notification around 5:00 Central time.

As much as I hope it’d be true, I don’t really think the decisions are coming out today…

Seriously crossing fingers that decisions come out today. Good luck again to everyone.

Same here. There’s been a lot of speculation and now I really want to find out
