Why does Northwestern release decisions so late? I didn't even apply here, but I just looked back through old cycles on LSN and am astounded
Lol just got my acceptance (online decision letter). Will definitely withdraw since NU requires essays to be considered for scholarship money... :roll:
Don't do that! They are 2 500-word essays. I think I did them in less than an hour. Why not try?
I disagree. They were the worst essays I've ever done. Took me 3 weeks. Definitely don't make the effort. (I'm still negotiating so it would leave more money for me)
lol

Hey, did everyone who got a Decision letter receive this email "The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application for Admission. To view your decision, please login to our Status Check Webpage. Your decision letter will be available after 6:00PM CST time today."?

I ask because I was WL'ed on Tuesday and didn't get any emails, but today I received this one. Is it possible that they already dinged/accepted me off the WL or is it just a late email?

There is a lag between the decision letter and the email

Thanks, but is a 4-day lag ok? Or is it possible that I'll be dinged after 6pm CTS? (I'm assuming the worse cause there's no deposit fees in my Status Checker, and I'm just that paranoid, still not really believing my reach school WLed me, instead of just rejecting me outright.. I guess I'm sort of waiting for them to realize they sent me the wrong letter :oops: :cry: )

4 day lag is normal this late in the cycle, they probably upload all of the decisions at once and send individual emails afterwords (my best guess), and they wouldn't have made a decision after wait listing you that quickly... I am a reverse splitter and they were my reach school, I was waitlisted as well. Something about you must have caught their eye, do not assume the worst!!

I don't even have a second complete date. I am starting to believe they lost my app.

I'm officially joining team "The scholarship essays are the WORST"

I think part of it is admissions cycle burnout where I just want to be done and not have to keep doing things to find out where I'm going to be in the fall, like if I had been doing this a couple months ago this would have been easier but honestly I don't know why but writing about why I deserve aid (especially from a merit standpoint) was so difficult.

+1 I'm hoping we'll find out later this week/early next week. It'd be nice to know how big the wave was so we know how many people they have to read through

So I emailed them because I have another deposit deadline coming up soon, and they seemed to indicate that the scholarship committee was meeting mid-late this week and would notify people after that. Though I don't know what their "cutoff" is for what apps are reviewed at that meeting (I sent mine in literally the day after I was admitted, haha). I would guess late this week or early next; but I could be totally wrong.

I'm mostly stressed out about how there's no way to predict what they might give...LSN data seems all over the place.

Has anyone else who was in the recent admit wave submitted an appeal for "NU Independent" status (ie financially independent from parents)? Wondering how long that process takes...

I did! It was super fast once I sent in the documents. They asked like two questions and then granted it the same day. But I think it helped that I had emailed Admissions with a separate question and mentioned my appeal; they replied and CC'd the financial aid folks, which might have moved everything along...

Ok thanks! That is helpful. I also cc'd someone at admissions because the scholarship application was due already and I wanted them to know that I was still waiting for an appeal response. Anyway - hoping I'll hear back really soon.

Can you speak a little more about this? Should I just email admissions directly and ask to appeal?
