Northwestern RD Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

omg same
but i have some diff stats but im also an international student who applied for financial aid

Very unlikely. Sorry

At this point, I don’t think NU is the right school for me but I don’t want to get rejected. I wish they would never let me know what happened.

Is there any chance that decisions will be out on the 17th? It’s a Saturday though, so idk

I think we can expect decisions late next week.

My “Why Northwestern” essay was really terrible. does that mean im rejected? :frowning: i didnt know NW placed so much emphasis on essays

@piranhavator - you can withdraw your application. Then your really won’t ever know. You can send an email or call your AO. Not sure if you can do it online.

Is there an admissions student portal? If so, can someone put the link in here?

A Saturday doesn’t mean they won’t post. Last week when my D hadn’t heard from some other schools by Friday night, we figured there’d be no new news until at least Monday. And then one of her schools (Macalester) notified her of her acceptance on Sunday afternoon. So don’t rule the weekend out!

Should we wait for an email? I’ve read conflicting things in this forum about whether or not Northwestern sends out an email to notify applicants of admissions decisions. Do we get an email or do we just have to manually check the applicant portal?

@piranhavator I hear you. My D probably won’t choose NU at this point because after she submitted apps she decided she really wants to be at a women’s school - but she would still like to know she got accepted. If she was accepted though, she could change her mind if she visits again.

Where is the applicant portal?

Anyone mind reading over my “why northwestern statement”?

@jflan I will! Lol Im too nervous to read my own again

@jflan For sure! PM me if you want.

Admitted Student Portal

How do you activate the NetID?

For the Northwestern statement, we didn’t need to upload it AGAIN on the portal where it says upload additional documents, correct? If we had already submitted the NW statement through the common app that means that they will see it?

Yeah, you only need to do it through commonapp

are decisions coming out today?
