Official Northwestern Class of 2024 Discussion

Can someone chance me, please?
Act: 34
GPA (unweighted): 4.0
APs: 5 (received 5s on all the tests) also took two college courses (both As)
Essays: 7/10, I think they were well written and I tried to be creative, but it might have sounded a bit generic
Recommendations: 10/10, very strong, the teacher knows me well I have had mutiple classes and clubs with him
Extracurriculars: was involved in a variety (music, community service, sports, orchestra), but didn’t have a lot of leadership roles, did however present a project to NASA
I did interview
Northwestern is my top choice and I am really nervous for tomorrow. Thanks!

i just called up Northwestern…they said that they will be releasing an email before they release decisions…i don’t think it is coming out tomorrow.

does anyone not have a fin aid tab in their portal. I applied for aid and I never had one

I think it’s coming out tomorrow…some slight changes were made to my portal today (“Decisions will be available late march” disappeared and “when decisions are available they will be posted here” appeared), indicating that they’re updating and likely getting ready to release.

i don’t think that small of a change indicates anything

Time will tell :).

I would not bank on decisions being released tomorrow or at any date until they have an official announcement. Reading the tea leaves is a fruitless task.

I think decisions are coming out tomorrow as well! In addition to @hancmari’s change, my application checklist disappeared and there is a 2/28 date for my IDOC submissions on my FA checklist (I think it is new… pretty sure I submitted all of my documents in January).

Is there any significance in CC posting an announcement that NU is rumored to release decisions tomorrow?? They did not do the same for the rumored NEU & GWU decision release dates (yesterday), and there was a lot of speculation about that.

@wanglou No, they were wrong about emory :confused:

Also they very well could still be emailing before decisions come out and still release tomorrow. GW sends emails 15 mins before decisions come out

why does everyone think it’ll come out tomorrow? it could come out today too, right? over the past 4 years its come out on wednesdays, thursdays, and fridays, and they removed the checklist from the portal today too…

i am pretty sure it is comin next week

@throwaway0324 CC is saying that it will come out to tomorrow, but I agree it could be tonight, tomorrow, or even next week. Who knows?

My son’s checklist, too, has disappeared. But in his case, his financial aid checklist has disappeared too.

It’s coming out either today or tomorrow. In last year’s thread, someone made the observation that decisions are always released before spring break, which starts on the 21st (according to the website)

My son’s checklist disappeared like others have said but his financial aid checklist is still there with everything checked off as complete. I wonder if that is good or bad that it is still there. I wish everyone could get good news right now but know that is not possible.

@Bezmom I wouldn’t try to read into the tea leaves. Decisions will be released soon anyway, just wait a little longer.

I think I’m going to get denied, would just like to congratulate in advance everyone who gets in!!

My financial aid and standardized tests are still there, but checklist is gone.
