He says "hot" all the time, like Paris Hilton (a tall, fuzzy, be-jorted Paris Hilton). He's not harassing you all, I promise.

No, I'm looking to score and harass...but also, I have to pass character and fitness...so I use ambiguous language.

But, in reality, m2m is right.

It's the coffee. Everyone knows that coffee gives you superpowers.

Okay, I've officially decided on NU and now have what is probably the first of many dumb questions. I paid my tuition deposit online and faxed in that other form. I haven't heard anything from them besides an automatic e-mail confirmation of my payment. Should I have gotten some other type of response from them?

Congrats on the decision. I got a paper receipt in the mail today, about 2 weeks after I deposited. I feel like they should be bombarding us with communications, but I guess they're still busy trying to fill up the class with all those deferrals.

I thought I saw somewhere that we were supposed to send an official transcript by some date, but I can't find it now, so maybe that was another school. Can't shake the feeling that I'm supposed to be doing something important though...

Hey, I paid my $$ too... let's liven' up this thread a little bit. Who's goin' for sure, and where u from/where did you go to UG? I'm grew up in MI, went to UMich UG, and have lived in Metro DC (arlington) for the past two years.

Merrill · Post by **Merrill** » Tue May 13, 2008 4:08 pm

Hey jgarr and myusername--welcome to the "NU is awesome" thread! And congrats on deciding! I've just redecided on NU--I had a short flirtation with the U of C, but I think it's over. I'm originally from Southern CA, jgarr, but I've been in Chicago now for about 10 years.

myusername · Post by **myusername** » Tue May 13, 2008 5:58 pm

Okay, as soon as I finished posting my question, I of course came home to a letter of confirmation from Northwestern. And thanks for the reminder re: the transcripts, brillig. I guess I should do that now.

As for questions: I'm from San Diego, went to undergrad at Beloit College in Wisconsin, and now am getting my master's at UCLA.

Merrill · Post by **Merrill** » Tue May 13, 2008 7:10 pm

I never got anything saying I needed to send transcripts... Where did you hear this, brillig and myusername?

brillig · Post by **brillig** » Tue May 13, 2008 9:03 pm

I didn't hear it. I said that I thought I read it somewhere but didn't know where. Didn't mean to cry wolf. I'm sure they'll let us know when we have to do something, either on the Admitted Students Site--heh, ASS--or by email.

And I'm from all over, went to Northwestern UG, and have been working for a few years.

jgarr · Post by **jgarr** » Tue May 13, 2008 10:19 pm

Yeah I read it somewhere. My UG sends them for free, so I just sent one out.

Argh, I didn't have grades, so my transcript is about 20 pages of narrative evaluations and costs a small fortune to send. My fault for choosing the hippie school!

Hi everyone! I will be joining you all in the Fall, and I am THRILLED about it.

I'm from Chicago, born and raised in the city, graduated from NU ugrad, and now work in the loop. I know: it sounds like i've never left Chi, but I actually love to travel -- I've been to 6 continents, lived in CT for 3 years, traveled overseas for 8 months, etc -- I just always want to return home in the end. Those of you who have never lived here will know what I mean before long.

Anyway, I can't wait to meet everyone in person. In the meantime, I'll be joining you on this thread...

Merrill · Post by **Merrill** » Wed May 14, 2008 12:33 pm

Welcome ArcusProtus! Are you living in Chicago now?

Since you obviously know the area really well -- where are you planning on living? Why? I'm pretty much set on the Streeterville area, but I haven't been to look at places yet, and am always looking for additional insights.

I'm from Seattle, went to the University of Washington, and currently live in Seattle. Needless to say, I need a change and am excited to move to Chicago.

I still haven't received any confirmation of my intent to enroll (other than an automatic e-mail regarding my tuition deposit).

Me either. They never mentioned anything about sending something out. I'm not sweatin' it...

Ah, I found the thing about the transcripts. I didn't see a date, though, so I assume we just need to send them in sometime before the end of summer.
