<p>I had an interview and a local alumni thankfully lived in my town, it went really well and she said she was going to write a great write up for me to send to the school. Not sure if it actually helps / will mean anything though. I’m sure you all are fine, they can’t knock you if an alum doesn’t live near you!</p>
<p>Amen @NorthernKev </p>
<p>@nopeyverg same I had an really great interview too. But I think interview is just a little tiny portion of our application. </p>
<p>I live about 20 minutes from the school, and when I asked about an interview they told me they weren’t giving interviews for ED applicants in Illinois.</p>
<p>What kind of bullshit is that?</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, there are no Northwestern alumni representatives in Illinois available for ED interviews.”
An admissions counselor, possibly mine!</p>
<p>“I am not sure of the exact reason for not offering interviews for local ED candidates. Interviews are not required, as you probably already know. I don’t think it is something you need to worry about.”
Senior Associate Director of Admissions</p>
<p>So does anybody know what time EST the decisions will be known on Monday?</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm that decisions are coming out tomorrow morning (in the US) as opposed to the usual evening time?</p>
<p>@squid97 Pretty sure they aren’t coming out on a Sunday.</p>
<p>Sorry meant Monday morning</p>
<p>@squid97 Yeah that’s what I wanted to know.</p>
<p>lol still havent done a thing for finals… i guess i am screwed. and i do not know why i always dream of a rejection letter these days… well</p>
<p>@FailedHardAsian You just reminded me that a couple nights ago I had a dream that when I followed the link from the email, there was a huge heading in calligraphy saying YOU’RE REJECTED and underneath in small font it just said, “Because you’re a loser.” And that was it.</p>
<p>@ikadiggit hahaha i thought you were going to say underneath in small font it just said “just kidding bruh you in”</p>
<p>@FailedHardAsian Pfff I hope</p>
<p>@ikadiggit @FailedhardAsian
I dreamt of Mr. Smith from the Matrix as NU admissions. He was sitting on my toilet, and when I walked in he told me I have a hour to write a AP Lit essay on the book Heart of Darkness (which I’m reading right now).</p>
<p>What do you guys think actually happened? Technical issues? If it were technical issues, how can we be certain that they’ve solved it by Monday :(</p>
<p>@alafae cause if they don’t get it by Monday then they are going to get hate mail LOL</p>
<p>@imrllynervous I just made an account so I can put in a word regarding interviews:
At the tour and when the NU regional rep came to my school they basically said interviews are more for the applicants and their questions. Because interviews aren’t mandatory or available to all applicants they can weigh it in to your application, it would’t be fair to the people without interviews. </p>
<p>Also, I had an interview and I noticed that she mostly wanted me driving the conversation and asking questions, so that just kind of confirms that interviews are just another way for applicants to get more info.</p>
<p>Hope this calms some of your nerves!</p>
<p>@Isabae thanks so much! I just don’t think anything could calm my nerves right now lol</p>
<p>I just saw smb posted this on Princeton’s thread. I find this immensely true and the fact that it pulled my heartstrings…please let this sink in.</p>
<p>"Just something I was thinking a lot about today: As long as I have been immersed in the college process, I have looked at College Confidential in a negative light. Maybe there are negative aspects of this website, but in being yet another (mostly) lurker, I have found that this website gives me what I need most in this hellish process: perspective. Camaraderie. I’m sitting here thinking about how I NEED to get into Princeton, or why I deserve it, or how I cant stop thinking about this, and it feels like I’m the only one. I have actually thought to myself (while in the shower or trying to fall asleep or something) that I want it more than anybody else. That’s not true. We’re all going through this together, and we’re all very similar (stressed out 17/18 year olds… there are only so many varieties). I don’t NEED an acceptance, I sure as hell don’t deserve it any more than the rest of you guys, and I’m definitely not the only one who can’t stop thinking about this monday and what will come after it.</p>
<p>Not getting accepted is not a personal statement (pun not intended) about who we are as people. It’s taken me way too long to realize that, and I only did with the help of this somewhat absurd website. So, I guess, thank you everyone here. Now, if only posts like these actually helped me come to terms with this whole process. But I can try."</p>
