I am assuming nothing came out Friday due to the long weekend. All speculation, of course. Truthfully, I am just holding onto to any little piece of hope. Not the best strategy, but NU is my dream school.
Am I the only one who feels like news from NU has been slow and drawn out? Weâre approaching June and itâs not looking too good based on past trends⊠still holding out hope, though. Applied as an econ major and have not seen any get off.
@starkindustries I feel that too. There was one wave early May but has been silent since then. In the past, NU closed their waitlist the first week of June, but considering few people have heard news after their first wave, I am speculating that it will take longer for their class to fill, likely around the end of June. I applied as a global health major and have not seen anyone get off for that either.
I am also still holding out hope really just because there hasnât been much news or recent waitlist activity. This makes me think there might be another wave soon. I think the problem this year is that many schools are very uncertain with international student status, so that could be why they are waiting longer.
Has anyone been/known of anyone who has been formally rejected off the waitlist? Or does NU not take people off until the very very end?
@LBlaz24 From what I have seen from threads in previous years, it is one large formal rejection at the very end. They do not make rejections along the way.
When do we think the next wave of acceptances will be?
@starkindustries
Also applied as an Econ major and waiting to hear any news. Hearing that you donât know any other Econ majors that got off the waitlist so far gives me a smidge of hope ahhh
Did anyone hear anything this week?
I saw that Duke extended the decision deadline for international students to May 31. Itâs highly likely that other schools like Northwestern also did this. That being said, itâs likely that there will be a wave sometime next week after international numbers are figured out. If the number is high, there might be no waitlist movement and instead we will receive the notification that their class is filled.
I got in! Just received an email asking me to call a number and the AO told me I got acceptedâŠ
CONGRATS! Thatâs GREAT news! What college did you get accepted into?
@Jenniflower Congratulations! Was there any indication that they are planning to offer more waitlist spots in the coming days?
@Jenniflower Congrats! How long did they give you to decide?
Thank you all! I got into Weinberg. There werenât any indications to offer more spots, so I guess the offers donât come in big waves. I only got 24 hours to decide.
@Jenniflower thank you for the info! What was your major?
Any news recently?
Got an email from NU today. Waitlist will remain open for the next few weeks.
@starkindustries Got the same email. I hope we all get answers soon!
did you have to reconfirm interest?
what did the email say?
