To anyone’s knowledge…for RD are some majors less selective than the overall averages to get into NWU? My kid wants to major in theatre and is on the low end of competitive for the school (high GPA, lower SAT than NWU average).
I’m sure certain majors are more difficult to get into than others because of the number of applicants and number of “slots” in the major, but I can’t speak directly to Theatre.
Anyone know when ED comes out? I’ve heard either 12/12 or 12/15
Last year it was Thursday, 12/13. Is it next Thursday, 12/12? Or next Friday, 12/13? We’ll soon find out!
What time do they usually release the decisions? I’m trying to plan out where I’ll be when I open it!
Last years came out dec. 13 while the previous 4~ years came out dec. 14 so it’s really anybody’s guess if its the 12, 13, 14, or 15
In last year’s post, people were posting “they are released” at around 6 pm.
has anyone else received an email with the tax form mentioned by
NewJeffCT?
I didn’t receive this email. Feeling very discouraged now and I don’t think I got in.
I didn’t receive the email either. Perhaps we have submitted all our materials and the office doesn’t need more information to decide what our aid will be from NU. I’m trying to stay optimistic!
We did not apply for financial aid at all - we waived any need-based FA
Does Northwestern send out any sort of notification saying “we’re going to announce ED results on Friday, December 13” or December 12/14/15 or anything like that? If so, when do those notifications typically get released.
I saw something on their website that said Dec. 15. https://admissions.northwestern.edu/clave/applying-to-northwestern.html
I’m guessing this is why they had to ask you for you SSN for the tax forms, those of us who submitted the financial aid requests would have given this information already. Being redirected to an “accepted student” page is definitely a good sign, but if you didn’t get that email I wouldn’t take it as a sign that you didn’t get in.
I’m thinking that maybe her application got mixed up with the Que
Thanks, but that seems like the standard wording on the website. I think they normally list December 15 as the notification date, but then adjust it a day or two as it gets closer.
We did not apply for financial aid but we did get an email asking us to supply some more financial information. Hoping that’s a good sign. During an Instagram live session they said “no later than the 15th, we promise” but considering they are closed on the weekend, my guess is Thursday or Friday (12th or 13th). Good luck to everyone!
Hey, I’m a freshman at Northwestern and I applied Regular Decision. They do not send out an email on when they will be announcing decisions. They just email you when the decisions are available, so it’s a shocker.
Good luck guys, it’s a wonderful school.
@nw2024 Decisions usually are released around 5pm cst.
Looking at previous years release dates, my guess is it will be either Thurs Dec 12th or Fri Dec 13th this year.
Thanks for the info! Can we find out which day it will be before the decisions are released, or do they not share that?
Thank you - so, she’ll just randomly get disappointed instead of having several days to prepare for it
