<p>On tuesday when I checked my desision online I found that I was rejected. :( but in the mail today I got a letter saying that I was waitlisted...is the letter the right one because it's "official"?</p>
<p>sounds like another great job by northwestern</p>
<p>^sounds like another bitter reject?</p>
<p>good job Northwestern. lol.
Just call them. I think the letter is the official one. Congrats on the waitlist!</p>
<p>well, to be fair zdub, northwestern really should have its **** together enough to at least provide consistent admissions decision to its applicants. </p>
<p>to give students the wrong admissions decision is unacceptable. northwestern is a multibillion dollar institution at the absolute forefront of academia, and its admissions office should represent it accordingly.</p>
<p>lol watch me really get a duke acceptance package instead of hte waitlist i got in the email. that would be the best surprise ever</p>
<p>Guess What?! The Northwestern Admissions office just called to tell me that I was indeed wasitlisted...and the online decision was wrong. They apologized and said that one or two of these "incidents" occur every year!!! Oh well...just happy to receive the good news!</p>
<p>Smooth year Northwestern is having with the 'net, eh?</p>
<p>^lol</p>
<p>(10char)</p>
<p>So we will not be sure until received the mailed package. Hope that is not the case for anyone admitted online and then either waitlisted or rejected by the US Mail.</p>
<p>Maybe you were one of those students whose file is so controversial, the Committee kept moving it from one decision pile to another (this happens a lot with highly selective admissions), and they just forgot to update the web with the very final decision. Nonetheless, that's still unacceptable.</p>
