I submitted earlier than you did and my status hasn't changed since either. If they stick to their promise of having us an answer within 8 weeks of December 1st, we will hear within the next couple of weeks (hopefully this is the case). They've sent out a bunch of rejections already, so just be glad you didn't get THAT e-mail!

Complete at the end of October. Have been experiencing a recurring nightmare of getting waitlisted(/denied) on 1/31.
**And by 1/31 I meant 1/26.

I think Jan 26 is the end of the 8 week complete-by-Dec-1-waiting-period (?)! A little over a week, friends, guh!!
E: Just saw the rest of your post, nvm! I'm in the same boat, regardless!

over the weekend i had a dream where a NU admission staff member personally showed up to my office at work, then proceeded to ask me why i was "pretending", rejected my application, and walked out.
I had no idea what he meant by pretending during my dream or now in reality.

I'm glad I'm not the only one dreaming about this stuff. I have dreams every night of being both rejected from and accepted to NU.
$10 says another round of decisions on Friday, right?

I hope it's Thursday because on Friday I'll be in Miami and Puerto Rico for 11 days and I vow not to check my status checkers while I'm there.

If you want to purchase me a plane ticket to Puerto Rico this Friday, I'd be willing to check your email and fly out to give you any news. Let me know.

I'd need to see a pic first. lol just playing I'm actually going for a wedding and since I'm the best man I'm going to be super busy. We hitting Miami on Friday for the Bachelors party which is lot more fun when you don't have to plan it. Then flying to PR I have to coordinate the families and I'm helping out with a lot of the planning. So I'll actually be busy not just relaxing. I just don't think I can survive 11 days without checking my statuses.

went complete 1/10/11, original application included CPE and a PM Essay. Is it appropriate at this point to send a Why NU essay via email to attach to the application?

I went complete months ago and just submitted a Why NU essay last night, if that helps. I figured why the hell not, I haven't heard anything from them yet anyway. That and I have the slimmest of chances of getting in, so I might as well do everything I can.

Glad I could help

I totally missed the part in your OP about vowing not to check. I don't think I could vow that unless my life depended on it!

yeah it was hard but I am getting obsessive, i thought that taking a break from it couldn't help but now I think I'm addicted to checking at least once a day. I think i knew i had a problem when I was checking at midnight, at a red light. Maybe the trip will be like withdrawal?
