Hey everyone. I noticed that there is no official thread for the Northwestern Class of 2024 waitlist! This is my number one school, so fingers crossed! Does anyone know stats, when they release, or any other basic info?
There are WAITLIST stats under prior class posts (2023, 2022). It appears they didn’t notify until early May in past years.
I am curious to know what they are expecting students to send for updates when they are doing distance learning and adhering to social distancing guidelines?
For Northwestern Class of '23, I read they issued over 2,800 waitlist invitations, over 1,800 accepted the invitation, and only 24 were admitted.
I just emailed them today and they said they won’t be pulling anyone off the list until May 1st, and some students may not hear back until the end of June. Good luck to everyone!
I’m wondering if due to coronavirus, some parents of accepted kids will keep their kids home and that might open more spots on the Northwester waitlist. thoughts?
@Deedler maybe! I definitely think that’s a possibility
How many of us are on the waitlist for NU? (I ask because this forum seems quite empty)
My son is on the waitlist. We haven’t heard anything yet.
There are several threads on reddit about the NU 2024 waitlist, looks like they are going to start taking kids off after May 1st.
yah
@nigoloraputyanan can you direct me to the threads? I cannot find any specifically for the NU class of 2024 waitlist. The ones I found are specific questions about the waitlist.
any guesses as to when they will start admitting off of the list?
I’m assuming the earliest would be next week. In the past, they starting calling their students the week after May 1.
Do you know what day? @waitlistgirl123
@fakesnek In the past, it was the Monday or Tuesday following May 1, but that might change as everything seems to be changing this year.
I was thinking… do you guys think that they might not call students this year as all admissions officers are working remotely? Is there a greater chance of being notified by email?
@waitlistgirl123 I feel like both are still fair game. At least for Northwestern, you’re still able to call the admissions office as the phone calls are just being routed to cell phones.
do you think they’ll make any waitlist offers this weekend?
@dinosaurgeek23 probably not 
I was let off the waitlist on Friday (May 1st) for dual degree with Bienen/Weinberg and was called by an admissions officer. I think it was likely because Bienen’s waitlist is different from the university’s waitlist at large (it’s ranked). Hope this is helpful to someone
