Re: Northwestern 2011 Applicants
Has anyone heard any news before their 8 weeks are up? I went complete 1/19 and really do not want to wait until March 16th to hear back...

Dittoooooooooo. Though I did just convince my old boss from NASA to fill out a CPE so I'm stoked on that. He never sent anything originally (GAHHHHH).govorett wrote:Whyy Johann...whyyy. Waiting until May is going to kill me.

Re: Northwestern 2011 Applicants
Sure, the first couple of batches of acceptances came before the 8 weeks were up. (The 8 weeks started at Dec. 1 for everyone who submitted in Oct/Nov--so our 8-wk deadline would've been this Wednesday.)rbarcelo9 wrote:Has anyone heard any news before their 8 weeks are up?

LSN shows some people with later submit/complete dates, and less than 8 weeks between complete and decision. Doesn't look like it was usually good news, though.

In that case, I will gladly wait 8 weeks for good news.rinkrat19 wrote:Sure, the first couple of batches of acceptances came before the 8 weeks were up.

Re: Northwestern 2011 Applicants
They'd probably appreciate this, the admissions office seems to have a good sense of humor based on their blog and holiday cards...atleast it will be a fun essay to writers2004 wrote:i hope someone writes about a character from glee...or modern family.BuckeyeGirl wrote:Agreed. I will be writing all three as well. But...tv character? Well, Northwestern, I have an irrationally emotional relationship with Carla from Scrubs, admire Christina from Grey's Anatomy, am kind of fascinated with 13 from House...and clearly enjoy medical dramas but want to go to law school. Please don't find me flaky...despite my clear flakiness and love of bad television.Aggiegrad2011 wrote:Oh I know, I am with you on the weird topics. I am going to write them, though. They liked me enough to overlook my lower 160s LSAT score (for now) and not ding the crap out of me, or WL me... so I don't think I can hurt myself by writing thoughtful, planned essay responses.BuckeyeGirl wrote:Anyone else horrified by the "hold" essay topics? As my dear friend said, "AdComm liked you...these essays could ruin that."
Sorry for sounding like a panicked crazy person...but I'm kind of a panicked crazy person.
Oh the horror! (And hopefully this brings a little levity...)

Re: Northwestern 2011 Applicants
Am I hallucinating (or getting NU mixed up with other schools), or weren't we supposed to get an admitted students binder in the mail at some point? Have any admits gotten anything?

I'm assuming then if I went complete first week of Jan, I shouldn't expect to hear back from them?

I think it's for a batch, when you're accepted the signed letter comes in digital form with your acceptance e-mail (available in your status checker).Gotti wrote:well...I think he means literally LETTERS...probably for people already admitted, yeah?servo wrote:bring it on johann.
