Official Northwestern class of 2017 RD thread

<p>@ergalassi … Hey!! :)</p>

<p>Well don’t worry, admissions to top universities is a pretty weird thing - you get into some & you don’t get into some!! </p>

<p>But I’m not too hopeful of an acceptance either!</p>

<p>Anyway, what’s your prospective major?? Interests??</p>

<p>And hopefully more people join in this time around!!</p>

<p>Hi everybody- I applied RD to the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Really not sure as to whether or not I’ll get in, but anxious for the spring decisions anyway. I also did not interview, so hopefully that doesn’t work against me too much.</p>

<p>In the ED thread, plenty of people said they didn’t think they’d get in, and they did. Not saying it’s guaranteed, obviously, but I think everyone doesn’t think they’ll get in. Just the general way of admissions for great schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>@MidwestGirl - Interviews are not required so it shouldn’t hurt you! :slight_smile:
I too didn’t interview!!</p>

<p>@Crimsonstained - Well even I don’t think I’ll get in!! But that’s mostly due to the Intn’l financial aid factor in my case!! I’ve received like 3 mails stating 10 times that I should look for alternate funding sources or something & change my status from aid required to aid not required as or else my chances of admission are very bleak!! :/</p>

<p>Now even though I’m guessing they are generic mails, the third one certainly had a more personal touch to it & did feel like a un-likely letter of sorts!! :p</p>

<p>Yeah, I guess there’s no good reason to be pessimistic about this- especially because the decision is completely out of my hands. We’ll just have to see what happens in April!</p>

<p>April 1st to be precise!!! :)</p>

<p>Are you sure it is April 1st?</p>

<p>Pretty sure because the CSS profile says aid notification is on April 2nd. And usually that is a day or two after the decision date!!</p>

<p>And since March 31st is a Sunday, April 1st seems a good bet for now!! :D</p>

<p>It will be before April 1st.
The Ivies will send out decisions on March 28th and they are always after Northwestern.</p>

<p>That is correct, 212Dad. However, admission to the special programs such as ISP and others will be known around April 1st week.</p>

<p>Ohh better still!! :D</p>

<p>Then March 27th maybe??</p>

<p>Still over a month to go! And I need to submit my finaid documents by today! :/</p>

<p>Anybody know what happens if the CSS Profile is submitted before the deadline but the supporting tax forms/income statements don’t reach them till a day or two later??</p>

<p>^I submitted my CSS PROFILE the day i had sent in my SAT scores. That was in January. I had sent in my tax forms about a week ago. So, I guess it should be okay. </p>

<p>Btw, I too received the emails from northwestern saying: find other sources, we got no money for you. Guess that makes the two of us expecting a rejection on this thread :p</p>

<p>@lolface - Nice to see you here! :)</p>

<p>Well, okay then - I’ll be submitting my tax documents only next week!! </p>

<p>And how much aid do you need? A full ride?</p>

<p>I hear Northwestern is very stingy with its International Financial Aid!! So chances are at most only one of us will get in!! :/</p>

<p>Stingy? !</p>

<p>My friend who had applied got an email a few days back saying: if your financial condition improves in the next 6 to 18 months, then please inform us, we will re open your file. Till then, we cannot offer you a place in Northwestern University.</p>

<p>^Dont ask me how he got the email waaaay before they release their decisions. And, play it safe man, send in the Tax forms today itself. Dont want to mess with their deadlines.</p>

<p>And, i will be needing a near full ride, say around 70%.</p>

<p>Rishav, lets screw all this, prepare for IIT only :p</p>

<p>And I did, Lolface849…after graduating from IIT, still came over here ;-)</p>

<p>@lolface849 - Are you kidding me? i doubt your friend told you the truth!! </p>

<p>But if you’re certain, then we have a better chance?? Haha!! :D</p>

<p>And at the rate I’m studying - I said bye bye to IITs last August!! :stuck_out_tongue:
The only viable choices in India seem to be BITS, VIT, Manipal!!</p>

<p>@Northwesterndad - I’d have no regrets if I could emulate you!! :p</p>

<p>@Northwesterndad: at least you went to IIT, for all i know, i might not even go to college this year! :p</p>

<p>@lolface - Drexel?? :p</p>

<p>I’m starting to think that I’ll have to consider Drexel seriously come April!! :/</p>

<p>I have no doubts, you folks will shine wherever that may be.</p>
