<p>Yeah your speculations better be somewhat accurate- waiting til the 28th will be the most painful thing in the world >:L</p>
<p>Not saying it won’t be the 22nd, but that would be the earliest they’ve released in many years. </p>
<p>Maybe it’s smarter to assume it will be the 29th than to be in agony if it’s not the 22nd. :)</p>
<p>Lol but I’m already in agony if I have to wait til the 29th, so I’d rather have hope for the 22nd. Plus even though the 22nd is the earliest, it’s only the earliest by about a day and it fits the general schedule (right before Northwestern’s spring break, etc) of past years.</p>
<p>Announcement on NU admission page states that regular decision information will be released via email no later than Thursday, March 28. </p>
<p>For whatever that’s worth, it’s at least something! ;)</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T769 using CC</p>
<p>Lol my mind flashed to the “it’s something” meme</p>
<p>its been released on the third thursday of march for 4 years consecutively. so i think we might be right to assume its on the 22nd. 23rd for me :(</p>
<p>btw Isnt 3rd thursday on the 21st?</p>
<p>Yes, the third Thursday is the 21st.</p>
<p>Last year RD decisions were released on March 23rd, a Friday, so I’m guessing that they’re going to release our decisions on the 22nd, also a Friday, even though ED was on a Thursday. Also I don’t want to stay up all Thursday night waiting for an email, so I figure its better to assume its going to be Friday, even if it actually will be Thursday.</p>
<p>I check my email thrice each day. :p</p>
<p>So I won’t miss it for sure!! Haha! :D</p>
<p>actually it was released on thursday for people in US. would have been friday for some people out of US. this yr if its going to be released 5pm edt 21st it would be 6am 22nd where i am (china)</p>
<p>Check last year’s RD thread, results came in on the 23rd, a Friday.
It looks like NU sends them out at 5pm Central Time, when the admissions office (probably) closes.</p>

<p>I know we keep debating when it will be, and I just wanted to share what the official word on NU’s admissions site was; maybe (hopefullly?!) they will be out this Friday - but after seeing ‘emailed by Thursday March 28’, DS and I are thinking next week will be when we hear on all remaining schools.</p>
<p>Busymomma, “by the 28th” means that that is the latest possible time. I doubt admission officers want to send them out during Spring Break (Next week) and would rather get them out right before Spring Break (i.e. this Friday). That’s the summary of all the speculation above.</p>
<p>thats what happened for my Michigan EA. it said “by 24 December” but the decision came out on the 15th. totally wasnt expecting it and then BOOM theres an email in my inbox</p>
<p>^ The same happened with me. I doubt we’re going to hear from NU any later than this Friday.</p>
<p>I really hope it is this Friday!!! Does the pattern from previous years seem to be the third Friday in March?</p>
<p>I think the pattern should follow through! I’m so excited. WashU went through with its predicted RD date, which did indeed follow its previous year’s release date, despite the fact that it had a couple thousand additional applicants this year. I’m so nervous :S</p>
<p>^urgh not hopeful much for northwestern now, I was wait listed by washU :(</p>
<p>^I was rejected by WUSTL, Cornell (ED), Colgate (ED II), plus I am an international student asking for financial aid. Even I am not really hopeful either :(</p>
