<p>@Kxtreme16 I believe the Why Northwestern/your specific program was a 250 recommendation (or maybe limit). But if it wasn’t too far over they probably won’t care that much. (Especially if it was a great essay!)</p>
<p>Haha yeah mine was 550, but i found out after i applied.</p>
<p>Anyone want to call admissions and ask when they’ll be released?</p>
<p>How about letting the person who proposed this idea call the office? :p</p>
<p>Orrrr we could just sit and literally lose sleep over it like me</p>
<p>(don’t actually do that)</p>
<p>(I’m pretty sure I’ve developed an ulcer in the past 36 hours)</p>
<p>I’ll call on Monday if no one else volunteers.</p>
<p>i already called (more than once…hahaha i’m so anxious!!). they didn’t say a specific date any of the times that i called. they said “mid-december” each time. but i haven’t called since last week, so if you want to call @TVDLover you should do it!</p>
<p>also @uppersanddowners i also think they’ll come out on the 13th</p>
<p>Someone should call! They probably won’t give a date though.
And my essay was around 500 words…there was no way I could make it 250. I emailed the admission office, and they told me there was no word limit.</p>
<p>Oh my god, its amazing how fast a year has passed! Last December, I was waiting for my ED at northwestern and it just feels like last night!</p>
<p>Just wanted to say best of luck guys, and if you don’t get in, there’s probably a school out there thats an even better fit for you 
All falls into place eventually, Good luck class of 2018 :D</p>
<p>@Picklebump thank you! how did you know what day you were going to get your ED notification last year? apparently Northwestern doesn’t send an email telling us the day they will be released, so are we just supposed to check our email every day to see if we’ve received something from them?</p>
<p>I wish Northwestern had a portal and a set release date like other schools. If only.</p>
<p>Caltech also said they would release results mid-Dec, but …it was yesterday! So everything is possible guys !</p>
<p>So (eventually) we are supposed to get the results through email, correct?</p>
<p>yeah we get them through email. they send us an email with a link that we click. the link will take us to a page with our decision!</p>
<p>Does anybody know what rej/defer/admit letters look like?</p>
<p>Rejections look something like:</p>
<p>The admission committee has concluded its evaluation of Early Decision applicants to Northwestern University. I am sorry we are unable to offer you a place in the freshman class. Since Northwestern was your first choice, I understand this news is very disappointing. This was a particularly difficult decision for the admission committee in light of your family’s ties to the University.</p>
<p>If the first letter of my decision is c I’m gonna keep reading, if not…lol</p>
<p>I’ll be at school from like 7 to 9 on Wednesday and Thursday so it’ll suck to get rejected in front of everyone…</p>
<p>Randomly looking at the 2016 ED thread. They got the decision on Dec.9th, lucky</p>
