** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

Hey guys my friend got rejected but in their letter it says the decision was particularly difficult “In light of your family’s ties to the University”

But their family has no known connection to NU whatsoever… Does anyone have an explanation for this? Any suggested action?

@noochilised same thing happened to me, I’m waiting for my counselor to call them

@runnerman1600 congrats to you! amazing! northwestern rejected me … gotta move on!

@cdfreta Alright cool let me know what happens please!

Ahhh I just got in!!!

waitlisted just after WUSTL rejection

@cdfreta My son got the same letter but he is a double legacy. He’s actually a triple legacy at Uchicago and got waitlisted, so for anyone who thinks that stuff matters…it doesn’t:(

rejected from NU and uchicago! having a great night

@jjmama Not to downplay your son’s pain but just because it doesn’t guarantee acceptance, doesn’t mean being a legacy doesn’t matter. It greatly improves admission chances.

has anyone gotten the actual email yet??

I registered on the portal before and still got the email. Rejected and I am not surprised.

rejected i missed my northwestern interview though i thought it was a different date so that might have contributed. prob going to umich next year. go blue!

I just recieved an email about 5 minutes ago @coco1234

Waitlisted. Which actually a good result for me. :slight_smile:

This process is so cruel and brutal on kids…Well I am not stressed anymore. My kid is crushed. She is sooooo qualified, straight A student, Latina, smart, funny, creative. NU it is you loss! She has been accepted to every other college she has applied to, so she will do great somewhere else. Hasta la vista!

How do I find my decision? I never got an email with any info on setting up a portal??? Very worried

Accepted (’:

Rejected from UChicago but accepted at Northwestern!!! I always liked NU better anyway :stuck_out_tongue: GO CATS!!
