<p>It swings more than the mood of a pmsing woman. It can go from 30 percent of the waistlist to extremely low.</p>
<p>EDIT: I read this on some data sheet on NU’s own website so I assume its accurate. They report the number of waitlisted students and the number who are admitted through it for the past few years.</p>
<p>So do you guys think this may be the week that some people start getting phone calls?</p>
<p>So Northwestern calls? That’s awesomee. Yeah, I think it’ll be this week. <em>fingers crossed</em> :)</p>
<p>I loathe this article:</p>
<p>[Higher</a> minority enrollment predicted for class of 2014 » North by Northwestern](<a href=“http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/2010/05/80640/higher-minority-enrollment-predicted-for-class-of-2014/]Higher”>http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/2010/05/80640/higher-minority-enrollment-predicted-for-class-of-2014/)</p>
<p>NU received a lot of deposits and even if we remove the 5% melt…it is still around 2100 and that is BAD NEWS for all of us!!!</p>
<p>I so want to go to Northwestern!!! :</p>
<p>^ That’s really, really depressing.</p>
<p>did anyone receive a call today? if not, i can’t believe they haven’t started yet! other prestigious schools have already started calling their waitlistees. i can’t wait any longer!</p>
<p>It doesn’t appear WashU is going to their waitlist this year. </p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/922240-accepted-off-waitlist-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/922240-accepted-off-waitlist-2.html</a></p>
<p>NU may not be going to the waitlist this year. They have received 2211 deposits and I remember hearing that their target number for the class was 2125.</p>
<p>^ That better not be true!!!</p>
<p>does any1 know how they’ll let us know? phone? mail? email? also, does any1 know if they are using the waitlist at all?</p>
<p>evilsquirrel2112- i think they will call you, but from what Akshat and Objective789 said above, i think there is little hope any of us waitlistees will be receiving calls this year. I think either they won’t go to the waitlist at all, or if they do, it will be more like mid June after they start getting that “melt” mentioned above. I would call the ug admissions office and just come out and ask them directly, but i’m too afraid to hear what they might say.</p>
<p>I do hope you get a favorable call! Keep up the faith. D was accepted to NU, but ultimately chose another university. She’s enduring the waitlist purgatory too just at other schools. Anyway, Northwestern is great. (I would have loved to have gone there.) I hope they start making calls. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Okay, has anyone heard ANYTHING yet?</p>
<p>It’s kinda sad that we haven’t even gotten a “we’re full” email yet. :S</p>
<p>Okay, so I emailed them 2 days ago, and this is the reply that I got back.</p>
<p>Hello ________,</p>
<p>Thank you for your message. We have made no moves regarding the wait list yet. We do not know if we will make any offers of admission to students like you who have remained on the wait list.
When we do know, we will communicate the decisions we have reached. Thank you very much for your patience!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>F. Sheppard Shanley
Senior Associate Director of Admission
Northwestern University</p>
<p>From what I can tell. I believe that they overaccepted and now, they’re overenrolled. So, this will be the first year in like, 10 years that they won’t be using their waitlist. kinda sad that it has to be this year --;; . Oh well, this was my top choice school, but best of luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Please post if anyone receives any other response…</p>
<p>^ Thanks for emailing. At least they haven’t made a final decision yet.</p>
<p>^^ IF that ends up to be true, that is also apparently what happened to WashU this year.</p>
<p>What are these schools going to do? With their “overenrolled” numbers? Wouldn’t housing and stuff become huge problems? :S</p>
<p>e-mail from Northwestern…</p>
<p>…At this time, we have finalized our waitlist decisions, and the incoming class for this fall has been filled…</p>
<p>I wonder if they took anyone from the waitlist this year??</p>
<p>Understand that they received 2211 deposits and are looking for a class of 2125. The usual “summer melt” should bring them down to that number.</p>
<p>What’s with the “we’ll keep your application for a year incase you apply as a transfer…usually students who were wait-listed have a high admission chance if they reapply as a transfer?”</p>
