<p>Winston Salem is very nice. I'm in Greensboro, if you know where that is.</p>
<p>And only by mail? Oh no! Well, that means I can only really freak out and check once a day from now on, and it's more traditional. But still. That means it's going to be slower. :(</p>
<p>Well the lady also said you will know for sure by december 15th, so maybe that means a little before but no later than, I dont know you should try calling, because I dont want to keep annoying them.</p>
<p>I called today and yesterday</p>
<p>NU's admissions office closes at 5 PM their time right?</p>
<p>I suppose it's entirely possible that they won't release decisions online this year... They don't guarantee an online decision anywhere do they? </p>
<p>I'd so much rather get it online... rather than wait on the mailman...</p>
<p>I called today, too.
The lady sounded a bit irritated...
I bet she's gotten so many calls today xD</p>
<p>From their website:
"
You will be able to track your application's progress online starting two weeks after the application deadline. </p>
<p>Your admission decision will be posted online according to the following schedule:</p>
<pre><code>* Freshman Early Decision - Mid-December
* Freshman Regular Decision - Early April
* Transfer Decisions - Rolling basis after May 1 application deadline "
</code></pre>
<p>That almost does seem like a guarantee for online viewing. Doesn't mean they have to stick to it though.</p>
<p>I think I may have passed a sign while driving in NC? But I can't be sure, unfortunately and I must admit, I'm terrible with directions. The whole no car freshman year won't bother me a bit haha.</p>
<p>Only by mail!? I'm with soundguy, I'd rather know online. Oh well, no complaints Northwestern, it is up to yall. Now I'll be paranoid about the envelope size...</p>
<p>^^ Sam Lee said NU is notorious for not updating their website often, so it could be from last year?</p>
<p>Yeah it kind of sucks you find out if you get in before you open the envelope.. like if i get a small one il be praying to be deferred, this is the first year they're deferring right? Oh and just wondering, which specific colleges did you apply to at NU?</p>
<p>True. That's the only bad thing I wouldn't like about getting my decision through the mail (if speed is not a factor).</p>
<p>Does anyone else like the excitement/anxiety of ripping into an envelope (such as AP scores, since these are not available online)? For that one second, you are just absolutely in suspense. Not sure why, but I love it. :)</p>
<p>And I'm pretty sure NU doesn't defer at all.</p>
<p>I don't think they're deferring ED this year? Are they?</p>
<p>Yeah... Is NU a big-letter school though? I know Dartmouth sends small letters for acceptances, would NU do the same?</p>
<p>I'm giving myself excuses to not freak if I come home to a small envelope. :D</p>
<p>I've heard they'll probably not defer for ED unless it's a rare circumstance. They reserve the right to do it, but with ED it's most likely a yes or no.</p>
<p>I'm a WCAS applicant.</p>
<p>^ They definately defer RD, however.</p>
<p>I was talking strictly ED, sorry. I've never heard of a case where they did defer for ED, so I do believe it's highly unlikely.</p>
<p>I'm also a WCAS applicant.</p>
<p>Oh man, i dont know, i think thats what i understood the representative who came to my shcool to say. But maybe they were talking about RD, someone should call and ask lol
I'm also applying to WCAS</p>
<p>The 15% increase in ED apps wouldn't make them think harder about deferring would it?</p>
<p>I'm a school of comm app</p>
<p>it's crazy that we could know in a week! If they don't do logins and we do have to wait for the mail, then I hope that NW is a small-envelope-for-everyone school! I won't find nearly as much enjoyment "ripping" open the mailbox and having the surprise ruined by envelope size as I will RIPPING open an envelope! </p>
<p>i'm WCAS. and no ink, i'm not the 36/2400 kid. lol.</p>
<p>AHHHH the suspense is killing me.</p>
<p>If all we get is a letter, do you guys think it'll really take all the way till December 15? I CAN'T wait that long.</p>
<p>I applied to Medill, which, as I've just been informed by someone on another thread, is the most difficult to get into of Northwestern's schools...definitely should've applied to WCAS.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
