Financial aid is not supposed to have any weight whatsoever. My friend goes there and needs a ton of financial aid.
It does. Northwestern is not a need-blind school. I didn’t say that nobody gets financial aid, I said that people who don’t need financial aid have a better chance of getting admitted.
NU is most definitely a need blind school. It says so on their website and multiple other sources. @hanzee94
Hmm. Seems like I was mistaken, apologies.
Admissions are only not need-blind if you’re applying as an international student.
When do we usually hear back?
@Finalsarefun12 According to last year’s thread, most decisions are released in mid-May.
@jquery So if we have gotten into our second choice should I accept than a deposit just in case?
Apply to Chemistry in Weinberg from UCSD
Has anyone received a confirmation email yet? I haven’t heard anything since I submit my application…
Yeah I got an email saying they are pleased I applied and will let me know when their review is finished.
I got a confirmation email too. But there should be one more email saying that our file is complete. I asked the admission office and they said it’s still on process… I’m ready for a long wait…
@Finalsarefun12 I think when you accept their offer and pay the deposit you are not supposed to change your mind? But decision release dates for transferring can be so different…
@SylviaCai Got an email titled “Northwestern Application - Receipt Confirmation”
@jquery You can but you lose the money in the deposit
After “Northwestern Application - Receipt Confirmation” no more feedback received, even if the email of completing.
I emailed AO to ask whether it’s complete around Feb 25th and they told me mine was complete (submitted Feb 12th)
Just updated Winter 2015 grades (quarter system) wonder they would offer me acceptance! Good luck to everyone!
@rvyuan they accepted you?
Also, I still haven’t received confirmation email, but I submitted app march 15th.
@kiekers I hope they do!
Also applying as rising Junior. Submitted my application before deadline, but haven’t receive any confirmation on my supporting materials… Am I the only one?
