Northwestern RD Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

My son had his interview over the weekend. The interviewer remarked that he had done his research on the school and came well prepared. That being said, it’s hard to gauge what impact having a solid interview will have. It seems to me that it’s one of those things that gets thrown into the mix in considering whether to admit an individual.

@pigeon001 - My daughter has an alumni interview in India this week - so international interviews are happening.

Does anybody know the date of the acceptance decision as well as the date for the financial aid decision? I have Spring Break from March 23rd-April 1st and was wondering if I should plan on either being accepted and visiting only Northwestern or rejected and visiting my back-up schools instead of visiting all of them as I would if I did not yet have a decision.

check the daily northwestern article. it has some pretty terrifying statistics

Any way to track if Northwestern has received all financial aid documents? Its portal only tracks admission related items.

I completely forgot to send my SAT scores until today! am I totally screwed?

@ilovebooks123 I would call them and see what happens. If it’s a technical error they might still take it but I don’t think they will if you forgot.

I have my interview later this week (Thursday) in the Chicago Loop. It’s like a 20-minute train ride from my school.

We haven’t heard about an interview. Do we sign up or get contacted? Only 5 hours away from Chicago

You are supposed to sign up on your portal.

@ambkeegan same here. Perhaps an email went to spam and deleted after 30 days? Is there a way to still sign up? I live about an hour from campus so i find it hard to believe there aren’t alumni in my area. Disappointed.

There’s nothing on the portal to sign up.

According to the FAQ:

We have not been contacted with email. Does that mean there’s no active alumni interviewers in our region? Quite possible. Or the email get lost in transmission?

You’d think a university of this caliber would have a better system for this. I would be astounded if there were no alumni in my region.

i haven’t gotten an email either SconnieBoy . I’m not gonna stress too much, my interview didn’t help with Yale even though it went really well, interviews won’t make or break you unless you’re super rude or something

.

sorry my phone is glitching up didn’t mean to comment

Anyone else get the ISP email?

My daughter did.

My daughter did too. Do you think it was a mass email?

@momofval I think so. It was probably sent to everyone applying for a STEM major judging by the description of the program and the application.
