Northwestern Regular Decision Class of 2021 Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to NU (McCormick) RD. I haven’t seen a thread for RD yet, so I thought I’d start one.

Awesome…I applied December 8th! Good luck!

I also applied RD to McCormick for computer engineering.

Anyone else get an email with interview signup instructions?

Can you still submit applications even though the admissions office is closed for holiday break?

Yeah you can. You can submit up until the deadline.

@mintchipmagic

does anyone know if they accept research abstracts?

^They do. I emailed them in November.

^They do. I emailed them in November.

@SGDrive did you just email it to the normal admissions email?

I did not actually have an abstract; they told me I could in a response to an email I had where I asked about supplemental material. I just sent all the material to the normal admissions email and copied the representative who came to my school.

^Wait so you’re positive you can submit abstracts? all you have to do is email the main northwestern admissions office, and cc your rep…that’s it?

That seems really easy haha, I hope they actually take the materials seriously then! @SGDrive

Thank you! Did they ever respond with a confirmation to your email? @SGDrive

Yes they did. They might not right now since it;s the holidays.

should I just email them now with my research abstract and cc my rep?

Yup. Make sure other parts of your application mention the research, or at least explain what it is so its not a complete surprise.

^^did that, thank you!

Can any of you find your local rep? I’ve tried to search online but I can’t find it!

I don’t believe it’s posted online.
