<p>Good luck fellow waitlisters :-)</p>

<p>@jackson61 They probably admitted about 5500 students to fill a class of about 2000 because not everybody that they admit is going to come</p>

<p>(Can’t find the format so I’ll just kinda improvise)
Accepted (McCormick)</p>

<p>ACT: 33
SAT: 2040 (didn’t submit. My essay killed my score)

<p>Good EC’s, I volunteer with my church often. Two sport varsity athlete. </p>

<p>National Hispanic Scholar, AP Scholar with Distinction among other academic awards
I take the heaviest course load my high school allows me to take
Good Essays and I believe my rec’s were probably very good.</p>

<p>Hooks: Minority (I’m actually a permanent resident, born in Mexico) </p>

<p>Still waiting to hear back from Stanford, but I’m not banking on that. Beyond excited for this opportunity.</p>

<p>Congrats to all other admits and don’t stress if you didn’t get in. In the end it comes down to how hard you work while in college and after college, not so much which college you go to. </p>

<p>Still haven’t gotten my email yet (McCormick)… I’m freaking out.</p>

<p>waitlisted McCormick
sigh</p>

<p>@cdezzy check the junk folder of your email</p>

<p>Waitlisted for engineering…my why NU essay was pretty pathetic since I visited the school and did not enjoy the visit, so I’m sure my essay was rather unenthusiastic. I don’t know why I even applied to be honest, so I definitely won’t be accepting a spot on the waitlist. I got waitlisted at WashU too, so I don’t really know what to think of my application. Ah well, on to the next decision!</p>

<p>still waiting for an email…nothing in my junk or spam… :frowning: </p>

<p>@roxy481 I checked my junk email folder and it wasn’t there, but it WAS in my Spam folder. I got in!!</p>

<p>Accepted to McCormick! :'D</p>

<p>ACT 35
SAT 2230
SAT Math II 790, Chemistry 720</p>

<p>In the IB program, lots of leadership through music and Girl Scouts.</p>

<p>My essay was very strong, probably one of the best I wrote of all of my essays, and my recommendations were probably pretty good.</p>

<p>Darn… I was rejected :(</p>

<p>2320 SAT / 3.88 UW GPA
Weinberg CAS for Bio</p>

<p>I’m pretty disappointed, but that’s the way things go, I guess. I received my email at 4:21pm but I didn’t check until now. I’m on the west coach and it was in the main folder of my gmail inbox. Hope this helps, and good luck!</p>

<p>i got waitlisted ): can someone tell me how the whole WL process works cause NU is a school i would definitely love to attend. In the email it says we know by June 30, but wouldn’t we already have to SIR on the 1st of May? And can some one tell me the odds of getting off the WL…</p>

<p>WL is just as good as being rejected. Sorry!</p>

<p>ACCEPTED to Weinberg and Bienen School of Music! I wish to do the dual degree program. So fortunate. :slight_smile: Everyone will end up where they are meant to be.</p>

<p>I know Wash U is notorious for waitlisting applicants who do not seem particularly interested in the school(or who the adcom’s don’t believe will attend), is Northwestern also known to do this?
Congrats to all those accepted, I don’t think I will be accepting my spot on the waitlist.</p>

<p>For what instrument? I’m still waiting for a decision from Bienen, but I applied for their grad program. </p>

<p>even now…still waiting for an email…nothing in my junk or spam!!! freaking out</p>

<p>I was accepted for vocal performance @pianoleg Good luck!</p>

<p>@danielarodriguez what time did you hear?</p>

<p>I had to search in my message center on Google Chrome, which is where all of my junk mail is automatically filtered. After four password changes and verifications, I was accepted into Medill!
