I feel like I’m going to have great grand kids by the time the results come out XD
I’m pretty sure second batch of decisions will come out either Thursday or Friday this week I don’t think there’s any reason why NU wouldn’t release decisions this week.
If anyone could chance me that would be great!
Major: Art History
Currently Attending: UCLA (freshman)
College GPA: 3.448 (got a C in chem) but I was applying during before my second quarter grades came out–so on my transcript I sent to them I have a 3.785. I also got two A+s but I’m not sure if they’ll take that into account. On the college report my professors had to estimate grades and put A+, B/B+ and B-
HS GPA: 3.9 UW, 4.7 W
ACT: 32
APs: 5s on US history, Calc BC, Macroeconomics, and Gov. 4s on Lang, French, and chem
EC: Art (Illinois High School Arts Exhibit Visionary Award, local community college art show), Daily Bruin (newspaper) photographer, Frank Lloyd Wright Robie House tour guide (in HS mostly, but I still give tours when I’m home), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago volunteer (HS mostly, family day volunteering with kids/artists, etc), taught art lessons to kids (HS), Yoga for Flexible Futures (teaches yoga/wellness lessons to kids in LA area), lead news editor and photographer for high school newspaper, ukulele
LORs: I’d say very solid. I got A+s in both classes, but they’re from TAs
Why Transfer: I think pretty good, maybe 8.5-9 out of 10. I talked about wanting to become an art restorer
Northwestern Statement: Pretty good, maybe 8-8.5 and pretty northwestern specific
hope we get decisions today lol
Definitely! Another evening spent staring at my phone is not a happy prospect.
Does the university evaluate applications b4 the release, or on the day of the release? Since it’s a rolling admission, I’d assume that they release decision as soon as they make a final decision.
i dunno but somebody should call the office to see if it’ll be today for the next wave
I really hope we hear back soon. Anxiety is high!! Northwestern is a reach for me so hope is low, but the not knowing is 100% worse than the impending rejection
Did anyone find any record of them releasing decisions on a Thursday?
Usually they wil release the second wave 6-8 days after the first wave.
@gizmodo2 Same here I have no chance at NU xD don’t even know how got into Vandy. But I still want my rejection today so I can focus on my studies
This is my first posting on here, but I am in the same boat everyone else is, as I have also not heard anything regarding my application. I did call the transfer admissions regarding the release of decisions and they said " We cannot give out any specifics, but decisions will be released when they come available and you can expect to hear a decision between now and the end of May". That is unfortunate because most of us need to make decisions by May 1. They are just taking their sweet fucking time.
I’m sure we can expect some decisions to come out today. Or perhaps they were released yesterday but not to anyone on CC :-?
@inordie you may have a good chance if you got into Vandy
I think if no one posts results today or tomorrow we need to assume that they did release this week but just none of us on cc were among those who were given decisions.
perhaps someone could ask whether they released a decision yesterday?
@fairmaid You would think a major university, like NW would have this admissions process down to a science but they seem to not really know whats going on or are just are lazy at their jobs. Maybe I am over analyzing this, but there has to be a faster and more efficient way to evaluate decisions rather than give us a broad time span and release decisions once a week.
@Scotty22 Perhaps it’s because they spend more time evaluating maticulously than other univs do
@inordie under that logic wouldn’t Harvard or Yale be the same way? They’ve already released their decisions.
@Scotty22 I think the admission officers just love watching us being nervous to wait for decisions huh!
