congrats!! How many LOCI’s did you send/did you email your AO or upload it to the portal? Or I guess how do you think you got off?
@waitlistgirl123 congrats!! I have seen your posts for the past couple months and am so happy for you! I think we have the same AO-how often were you in contact with her/is there anything you did that you think sealed the deal?
To those that got in off the waitlist, have you received a follow up email regarding the deposit and other information?
Hey guys, I just declined my admission offer to Northwestern to stay at UPenn. I hope this will help out one of you guys.
Has anyone who is still on the WL heard anything?
@dinosaurgeek23 nope, I think they are taking time to review who has or has not accepted the offer from Friday. Hopefully there is another wave soon.
Also, NU recently released their plans for opening the fall and they said most classes will be remote, so that may prompt more people to stay home.
@singlenigolor Thank you so much! I sent in two LOCI’s, a few other updates about my application and awards I received from school, and a couple extra recs. All of this was updated via my portal. I also emailed my AO a couple times.
@daIndian13 I have not received an email yet regarding extra information. My AO said it should come some time during the week.
For those of you still waiting, the official deadline to request a gap year is July 1. So based on that and whoever declined the waitlist offers from Friday, there might still be space. Obviously do not quote me on this because I do not have any official information, but I’m rooting for you guys. Good luck!
Thank you! I’m hoping for some news this week, let’s see!
Anyone venture a guess on whether the school prioritizes the freshman waitlist over the transfer waitlist?
@Obviouszoo I’m not sure, but I believe NU will have to reach into both the transfer and freshman waitlists as more people select to take gap years or decline their offers.
does anyone know when they are closing the waitlist?
No one heard back yesterday because it was a university holiday, so I’m thinking they might give us news early next week.
First, congrats to those getting admits to NU. My son is on waitlist. Might anyone know if a student is on NU 2024 waitlist and gets a call from AO, would that typically be for notice that an applicant is coming off waitlist to admit, or could it also be a call to tell student that they were not admitted and are off waitlist? Thank you.
@SLP1968 In years past, Northwestern has sent out a final rejection email to those who were not admitted, so I am assuming they will do the same this year. However, with the current international student situation and the amount of students that requested gap years I do not think the waitlist will close until that final yield is taken into consideration. Best of luck to your son!
My son got off the waitlist today-has 24 hours to respond. Got an email yesterday to confirm phone number-phone call came this morning-McCormick School of Engineering.
just got off the waitlist!!
