** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

I feel like the ED applicants really increased from last year. More people know about Northwestern now, at least in my school. Let’s just wait until The Daily Northwestern announces how many have applied under ED, which should come out in a day or so.

Please everyone remember to post that stat as soon as you get it
I’m pretty anxious to know as I’m sure are many of us

does anyone know if NU looks at first quarter grades for ED admissions?

They don’t really look at first quarter grade, but I still beg my counselor to send them through mail since first quarter grade can not be included in the Common app. But still, first quarter grade doesn’t have a big effect. I sent them so then I feel at ease.

It’s only mid Nov, but every time I think about NU, my heart just pump so hard.

anyone else apply ED to SESP?

Hey anyone knows about the program at Weinberg called ISP

@Zpower99 Yes, that is the Integrated Science Program. It is a very unique and rigorous program. Here is a blurb from the ISP website:

“The Integrated Science Program is a highly selective curriculum of natural sciences and mathematics presented in small classes at an accelerated pace. ISP courses emphasize the common base and relationships of the sciences and stress the importance of mathematics and the development of first principles. This foundation in turn leads to the study of advanced topics at the forefront of science.”

We know a few graduates of the ISP who have gone on to very interesting and successful scientific careers.

Anyone applying from India?

@tennisspieler

Where are you from?
Not many apply from India I think idk
Pm me!

okay hey guys! i applied ED and i got an email around 11/1 saying that my application has been submitted and stuff, and at the end it said this:

Thank you for your interest in Northwestern University. We will notify you at the above e-mail address once your file is complete; we look forward to reviewing your application.

They still havent notified me about my application being complete! Should I call and ask if they have everything?

@jaecha
I would recommend that you contact them.
I submitted my profile and received this mail on 29 October and by 1 November (3 days) got the mail saying that my application was complete and under review.
I suggest you check the status of your application and do anything pending at the earliest.
Best of luck to you!

It’s Nov 15! 30 more days to go!

:(( :(( :((
But I’ll die from nervousness much before that

I’m also a ed applicant.
I wish everyone luck!

ED applications increased to 3736 this year!

@tito17 OMG, do you think this will cause a decrease of ed acceptance rate?

@Zpower99 no doubt, my guess would be about 28%

lol great my already low chances got even lower woohoo!

Oh great, 8% acceptance rate for international students.
