Northwestern Waitlist Class of 2024

@singlenigolor congrats!! What was your major?

weinberg-undecided probably science related

@singlenigolor woah that’s amazing! did you receive a phone call or email?

congrats to everyone that has gotten in recently! Are you guys out of state? Was wondering if NU might be taking that into account more seriously since there has been a surge in cases in certain states/might be more difficult for those students to leave their states.

We are in Texas and my son accepted yesterday! They said they will have a dorm for him most likely single dorms.

My kid was accepted a call and text follow up. :smiley: nothing was said about tuition.

What is the process when a kid says yes, Any leverage for waitlist accepted kids this year?

Anyone receive an offer of admission where tuition costs were mentioned

@justadad1 Was this on friday? Congrats!!

Phone call
had about 48 hours to respond and accepted. I remember seeing this thread and I would be happy for people who got in but would get increasingly anxious about the number of spots left and if there was anything else I could do. My advice: I think all of the counselors have a list of students that they would like to admit off the waitlist and further emails/phone calls won’t help. I have a feeling more students will be accepted before the month is over-don’t give up hope!!

@DJKJDdd Congratulations! We’re you accepted on Friday, or today?

@dinosaurgeek23 Friday

Yes, Friday.

Got accepted to Northwestern yesterday as an international student majoring in Econ. Received an email and then a phone call.

Congrats! Can I ask your nationality?

Congrats!!
Did you send any LOCIs or additional letters of recommendation?
May I ask what country you are from

I am from China but went to a high school in the US. I sent 2 LOCIs to give updates over the past four months. No additional letter of recommendation but I did ask my counselor to send the final transcript to NU.

Well congrats again!! Best of luck with Northwestern, and hope my son does get an offer as it is his dream school


any movement?

I got in off the waitlist on Friday! I received a phone call at around 11 am and had 48 hours to decide. Likely a physics or engineering major. From the east coast. Good luck to everyone else!

My son got off the waitlist yesterday.

Congrats! Can I ask what time your son was accepted and if it was via phone call/email?
