I've really been putting this off. I've gotten all the financial info submitted but just can't seem to bring myself to write another essay about myself at the moment lolBush v.

Does application complete mean I’ll hear anything soon? I submitted app around 11/8 and did interview within a week. Status website just says application complete and I’m so confused. I don’t check this one everyday but I feel like this is weird.

My understanding is this means you are under review!alexeats wrote:Does application complete mean I’ll hear anything soon? I submitted app around 11/8 and did interview within a week.

Edit: You should see a message at the top of your status checker above the demographics block that says something along the lines of "Your application is now complete and is being reviewed"

2013-2014 cycle: first post-holiday decision waves were 1/15 and 1/22
2014-2015 cycle: first post-holiday decision waves were 1/6 and 1/14
2015-2016 cycle: first post-holiday decision waves were 1/13 and 1/19
2016-2017 cycle: first post-holiday decision waves were 1/19 and 1/31
Fingers crossed!

Re: Northwestern c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018 cycle)
I interviewed in December and my status is still "incomplete." Should I email admissions and ask about this? I feel a little dumb for not catching it earlier (today was my first time logging into the status checker).

I'm in!!! Anybody know the usual turnaround for scholarship info? If their offer is competitive they'll probably be my top choice!

It took a month for me to go complete after my interview. They have a backlog at this point.hermanberk wrote:I interviewed in December and my status is still "incomplete."
