****OFFICIAL Northwestern CLASS OF 2020 Discussion Thread****

There is processing time of about two-three weeks before you’ll get a confirmation email ( at least according to past NU threads ).

Just sent my application! I know I probably won’t get in because of my sh*t class rank, recs, GPA, and SAT subject test scores but maybe my essays ecs and SAT score can save me idk probably not lolol. I would seriously be shocked if I managed to get accepted lol

I’m submitting mine in a couple of hours, procrastinating till the last minute.

Does anybody know if we get informed digitally or through snail mail on the 15th?!

Hey @CaliCash , can you confirm that we get a confirmation email that we are in the ED round on Nov. 15th ish?

Also, don’t ask for chances here guys. It’s really hard to tell who can get in and who can’t, just try your best and don’t look back.

@netflicks I agree… no more chancing until decisions come out! There are other threads for that and honestly I’d rather discuss other things on this thread. Good call!

@RamenUniversity I’m in the same boat… I’m kinda hoping (PRAYING) for acceptance but I’m trying to control myself and be ready to bounce back for other applications if I don’t. I can get pretty devastated and start beating myself up for it so I have to be careful. Same goes for everyone else! Don’t beat yourselves up too much!!

Which school did you guys apply to??

Communications for theatre.

Has anyone gotten an email conformation yet? I sent my app in a little over a week ago and still nothing.

I’m applying to Weinberg for Philosophy.

How many of you have taken the SAT subject tests and how did you do? I’m studying for them right now for next saturday and they’re stressing the living hell out of me lol

@netflicks Well, I didn’t apply ED. So I cannot confirm or deny. Sorry!

Weinberg for Economics.

@RamenUniversity I did 2 subject tests Math II (800) & Chemistry (750). I was hesitant to send in my chemistry score because it was around 70th percentile but after much consideration, I realised its a decent score. Don’t worry and just try get over 700s. The weightage on these (unless you’re applying for engineering or something specific) is minimal and unless you do horribly, it won’t hurt your chances.

Communication here too!!

WHERE IS MY MMSS CLASS OF 2020???

Does anyone know how decisions are announced? Via internet portal/email or via snail mail?

So I turned in my application on the common app and sent them a transcript + my SAT scores, but I have not received an email from Northwestern (only a confirmation from commonapp)… is that normal?

Yeah, me too! I submitted my ED application over a week ago and still haven’t received an email from Northwestern. Received from my EA schools though

I just got my “receipt” email from NU! I submitted mine about a week ago

Yup, to confirm, just got a confirmation from NU.

Will they send another email confirming that our application is complete/needs more stuff before the decision date?

I’m just an impatient asshole I guess. I just got the confirmation e-mail.
