<p>Does anyone know if Northwestern releases admissions decisions any earlier that the December date? Or does everyone find out on Dec. 15?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>There is no way to know. They have a short timeframe to go through a lot of applications and with the CommonApp problems out there, they won’t have much wiggle room. That said, December 15th is a Sunday so there is definitely a possibility that they might get them out on Friday the 13th (unfortunate date!). But, they are pretty good about meeting their dates – it won’t be after that.</p>
<p>Usually the Thursday/Friday of when the quarter ends, which would be the 12th/13th of December, like AnonMom said. Last year it was that Thursday, and it’s similar for RD too (except end of winter quarter, not fall).</p>
<p>Im not sure but i heard ed was extended to Nov 8</p>

<p>Early Decision Deadline Extended</p>
<p>With our November 1 early decision deadline approaching, for applicants and school counselors experiencing difficulties with the Common Application, our submission deadline has been extended until November 8. The new deadline also applies to applicants participating in the QuestBridge Match Program.</p>
<p>TexasTeen didn’t ask for the deadline to apply, she asked for decisions just so you know.</p>
<p>Yes, I can read…
But I imagine that the announcements would be pushed back for a few days if the deadline is pushed back.</p>
<p>Yes i have already applied but thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Not sure what they’ll do this year, but The Daily Northwestern reports that </p>
<p>“Last academic year, NU pushed back its early application deadline from Nov. 1 to Nov. 7 due to Superstorm Sandy. The change did not affect the release of admissions decisions.”</p>
<p>Yeah, last year it was pushed back, and it was still a day or two early, so it won’t really change anything</p>
<p>They will probably catch up with the original announcement schedule. It is not the first time the deadline got extended.</p>
<p>I think they normally have decisions done a decent amount of time before they come out, but they wait because they don’t want to field all the calls. If they do it the last day of the quarter after 5pm central (when most offices here are closed) then they don’t have to deal with kids’ decisions over the break.</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether Northwestern always had a Nov 8 ED deadline or whether its been extended. If extended, has anyone heard why?</p>
<p>It was extended to Nov 8 from Nov 1 due to the issues at CommonApp.</p>
