<p>6pm cst is the same as 7pm est right??</p>
<p>@encouragingmom wow, didnt know they accepted 350+ from nj…that’s crazy. thanks!</p>
<p>Yes @potatoo but we think it will be 5 PM CST if released today (or any day, actually) which is 6 EST.</p>
<p>Awesome thanks! Best of luck erryone!</p>
<p>Less than 30 minutes until the first speculated release time!!</p>
<p>Agh so nervous. Good luck everyone! At least this anxiety will be over soon either way…unless they decide to keep torturing us. -_- Come on NU!</p>
<p>@ironchariot Are you from New England?? (based on your use of “wicked” 
I’m very interested in regional American dialects…)</p>
<p>18 minutes (hopefully)!!!</p>
<p>guys, not to be a party pooper, but according to this article RD decisions came out Friday last year? if the article posted may 26th (Wednesday) then Friday would have been the 22nd, which would correspond to tomorrow.</p>
<p><a href=“Class of 2017 Acceptance Letters Sent Out - Northwestern Now”>Class of 2017 Acceptance Letters Sent Out - Northwestern Now;
<p>@sherrybear Emails started coming out on the 21st last year. </p>
<p>@tetrisdeity ah okay, i see 
good luck everyone!</p>
<p>So is there a chance some of will see it at 6:00 p.m. and some of us won’t?</p>
<p>Yes. </p>
<p>@bobdylansmith123, yes, unfortunately. Because NW uses an email notification system and has 30000 emails to send, they come out in waves - which means even though they start sending at 5 the day they’re released, you could still have to wait for a little bit.</p>
<p>oh wonderful</p>
<p>I think that’s actually what I’m most terrified of…being one of those poor kids who has to wait 2 hours for her email while everyone on CC rejoices/laments/accepts their results.</p>
<p>I’m alternating between refreshing this page and refreshing my email like a manic. </p>
<p>I just would rather get rejected now. The worst part is knowing they have my decision (rejection?) and just have to send it.</p>
<p>@ilovelacey Same! Having a heart attack…3 minutes (possibly)…I just want to this to be over, whether I’m accepted or rejected.</p>
<p>gah supposedly 3 more minutes left…i really wish they told us what day they were going to send it</p>
