Northwestern Waitlist 2025

Any letters and science students?

A friend of my son got off the waitlist few days ago - political science.

Can I ask from what area of the countrY?

Dallas, TX

Any news?? I feel like Iā€™m in eternal purgatory LOL

A friend told me the next two weeks would be the final chanceā€¦Donā€™t know if itā€™s true

Got in off the waitlist today for School of Education and Social Policy, Social Policy major

Very unlikely now

Do you think they are done.

my regional AC told me today in an email that they are not done

Itā€™s not officially done, but soln

Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA are still moving. JHU has not made a move at all neither has it signaled close. Vandy is surveying who is still on their list so they can move. Some T10s have made sufficient moves but not shutting yet e.g., Penn, Duke, Columbia. Northwestern, if you call or write them, has consistently said they will keep the waitlist active at least through June. So, we are still in the midst of NU-relevant last moves.

yes and theyā€™ve historically kept it open into july and august

they also havenā€™t accepted a single student from SoC that we know of, and I think some other schools havenā€™t had any movement either. so iā€™m definitely staying optimistic :slight_smile:

Cali here too. Count down starts for us when Cal Berkeley and UCLA make their moves (1000+).
