<p>How many people they will send acceptance and waiting ?</p>
<p>Is GTech ( :-* ) a better engineering school or NW? </p>
<p>Till then why don’t we discuss our college apps till now (acceptances, rejections and WLs)</p>
<p>GT has better ranking. .</p>
<p>How many are accepted and wait listed from 33,200 applications ?</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! I wonder how important is demonstrated interest?</p>
<p>I mean the stats very every year… check out last year’s for an estimate.</p>
<p>I think last year the acceptance rate was 13.9% but it lowers every year. </p>
<p>hope i get in</p>
<p>:-& :-& :-& </p>
<p>@ivyleaguefan, I think it’s an open secret that demonstrated interest is very important for NU, more so than for its peer institutions. It asked on commonapp for dates and visits to info sessions, the university, and its different schools. I applied for HPME, so interest was even more important for me to show lest I maximized the chance of getting waitlisted. </p>
<p>That being said, most top tier schools these days don’t care about demonstrated interest. For sure most of the ivies (except Brown), Stanford, MIT, Vandy, and Duke don’t care about it…</p>
<p>@bobdylansmith123 - so basically, non Illinois residents are hopeless applicants? duh</p>
<p>Well no, I didn’t say it was required, I just meant that it goes a long way for NU. Of course people have gotten in without it. </p>
<p>Attending a nearby info sesh or having an alumnus/a interview are also ways to show interest. </p>
<p>My daughter applied to 16 schools in total… with 2 acceptances in-hand + she was wait-listed by UChicago and Rejected by Yale EA. 12 more decisions to come, with NU being the likely next to announce. 16 total applications sounded excessive, but after reviewing numerous threads here on CC, it seems like the safe and prudent course of action. It is super-competitive in today’s environment…</p>
<p>Good Luck to all NU applicants this year.</p>
<p>I applied to 10. Till date - accepted in clemson and purdue, waitlisted in UIUC and Georgia Tech, So no rejections till now :-D. Looking forward to NU now. </p>
<p>I applied to 17, but a girl I know who applied 2 years ago went for 23. These were top-tier schools too, such as NYU, NU, Vanderbilt, Harvard… ended up going to Cornell. Imagine the essays - her mom told me she took over their dining room as home base for college app operations, and all the walls were covered in sheets and sheets of paper…</p>
<p>can some1 email UG office and ask for exact date?</p>
<p>I applied to 17 (I’ve gotten into UNC, UVA, and WashU so far, rejected at UChicago). Supposedly a kid at my school applied to 27 last year…the girl who told me is pretty reliable and close to him. I would believe it, too - he was dead set on going to an elite school, and I think he applied to pretty much everything top 20. I know he applied to all of the Ivies, but he only got into Dartmouth, where he goes now (he also got into Williams, but not an Ivy). Personally, I can’t imagine it; 17 was enough and I think at a certain point you have to start making decisions on whether you would actually like going to the school if you got in. </p>
<p>@PettyOfficer we could just call NU Admissions, but since they already said it would be this week, there’s not really much of a point. It will get here when it gets here.</p>
<p>What decisions remain? My D’s are: Northwestern, Brown, Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth, Columbia, USC, Vanderbilt, UVa, UMiami, Stanford, Duke.</p>
