I’ve seen in the past that they call

are you guys going to reach out to your regional admissions counselor? I emailed mine when i submitted a loci like a month ago but i kinda wanna email again. or is that just going to annoy them?

i literally don’t know. northwestern is 10000% my top choice so i rly wanna maximize my chances. i obviously sent in my loci but im not quite sure whether i should send an email; there’s just so little info re undergrad waitlists online, unfortunately. (it’s all about loci loci loci when that is kind of the “bare minimum” at this point.) bombarding them obviously isnt a good idea but, like, i dont think a few emails r a bad idea?? what r u thinking of sending i guess?

Do you know if there has been any waitlist movement at all this year?

Ya never know! Maybe they lost a lot of liberal arts students to the ivies and other liberal arts institutions… Let’s hope lol

that person up there said something (idk what), then the next person replied with something along the lines of “what’s your major?”, which is why that other person was asking if their original post said that they’d received an offer.

i don’t actually know of anything concrete tho
