Northwestern University Early Decision thread 2010

<p>wow really? that soon? the aid is crucial for me. hahaha i am looking for a job today (walmart probably haha). Aid would sure make things perfect. </p>

<p>and @momcares haha ya i didnt really want to graduate a year early, things just sort of happend! I’ll take my time smelling the roses (my parents never let that drop. They tell me to STOP studying!)</p>

<p>@Destroyer – STOP STUDYING and celebrate today… you’ve earned it!! (it takes a village ;-). And I’m glad to hear those NU roses won’t go unsmelled!</p>

<p>Everyone who has been deferred, you should be so INCREDIBLY proud of the turn-around you’ve accomplished and know that NU sees it and is no doubt rooting for your success! They will be lucky to have you, since lessons learned through experience stick like no others.</p>

<p>@plantsvs thanks for the reassurance about the FA packages coming soon. DD is totally committed to NU, and DH and I will do everything possible to support her, but it’s scary to let go of other possibilities until we are positive this can work since we have a younger son and can’t totally ruin his future options. ;-)</p>

<p>I’m going to wait for the letter in the mail lol</p>

<p>who all got into medill?</p>

<p>For all those who got accepted, I’m pretty sure we get priority housing. Does anyone know which dorms are the best?</p>

<p>SEPTEMBER 20 IS SO FAR AWAY, I CAN’T WAIT!!</p>

<p>Oh and is anyone who got accepted from the St. Louis area???</p>

<p>^ oh ya dang we have to find that out!</p>

<p>Sorry, guys, you do NOT get priority housing. The housing stuff goes out late spring.</p>

<p>So yeah, lets get all the CC kids into one dorm. Maybe some of you can find roommates here or something :stuck_out_tongue: (just kidding)</p>

<p>^ Thanks plantsvs for that link.
^^ Thanks momof3sons for crushing my dreams :)</p>

<p>Really? Dang… oh well. I’m pretty sure I want to live on North Campus, but other than that… I have no idea.</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got in! I’m really sorry to those who didn’t…
I know I asked this already but to those who got accepted/rejected/defered could you post your stats? It would be a great help! (ACT/SAT, GPA and school applied to).
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>^We started a thread for that</p>

<p>I thought it would come in the mail on December 11 or 13, but I got an email with a link, so I found out last night.
I know this is all too easy for me to say, but I’m sorry to whoever got a rejection letter, and good luck.</p>

<p>Dear ______</p>

<p>Congratulations and welcome to the Class of 2015 at Northwestern University! On behalf of the Northwestern faculty, students, and alumni, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted to the <name of=“” college=“” you=“” applied=“” to=“”></name></p>

<p>The admission committee evaluates tens of thousands of applications each year, and your considerable academic achievements, extra-curricular accomplishments, and impressive character stood out as truly exceptional. You will be joining a community that includes engaged faculty, students with diverse talents and backgrounds, and spirited alumni.</p>

<p>Enclosures</p>

<p>What’s enclosed is a little packet and a piece of paper (which essentially repeat each other) about setting up a NetID and getting tuition payments underway.</p>

<p>I’m sorry to whoever didn’t get in. It’s a roll of the dice to whoever gets in, even if you’re #1 in your class. I know that there are much more qualified people than me who didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Rejected last night… I know that I am not valdeldictorian or perfect 2400 sats or anything, but my essays were very very good. I had been in contact with my northwestern admissions officer through email, and I sent them two articles that I have written supplementally and two activites sheets. I showed a lot of passion through my application, even though I had less than stellar grades (those were explained in my recommendations from Guidance Counselor and teacher). I am also a minority (African American). I thought I may have had somewhat of a chance, and the rejection email did shake me up a bit. But life goes on. I just hope I get into my other colleges. Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Uchicago, Wellesley, BU, DePaul, Smith. My parents seem convinced I will not get in ANYWHERE.</p>

<p>I read this thread while I was waiting! I got into Medill yesterday!!! </p>

<p>Someone should make a facebook group and post the link to it on here so we can connect with classmates!</p>

<p>Disregard the link here before, here is the official link for the Northwestern Class of 2015</p>
