Northwestern waitlist 2026

Me either! I haven’t seen any movement on reddit too.

yes but tbf all of the rd threads have dried up so i’m not sure if everyone even would update on there

True but if you search by new and use the keyword “waitlist”, people seem to be posting updates on the general thread. So far, I’ve seen movement posts of NYU and Cornell today.

The students that I know that specifically got off waitlists in years past did not know until June. :-1:

movement on last year’s thread started may 11

my engineering waitlist self started being anxious now :worried:

Ugh, was hoping for this week, but not expecting it. :slight_smile:

someone on last year’s thread said that the second monday of may is when nu typically starts contacting people. cant bother to check the accuracy of it but there’s that, i guess

me too haha; this girl on youtube got accepted off of princeton’s waitlist like may 4th (last year, obviously) so i was hoping the first week of may was the standard or something. but i guess not

OMGG I WATCHED HER VID TOO! But she also got off Columbia’s waitlist May 30th, so you never know what’s going to happen with this sort of thing!

Was it phone call or email?

They emailed him saying they want to have a phone call regarding his status on the waitlist, and then he was told he got off of it.
