Northwestern 2011 Applicants Forum

[Aggiegrad2011]

Nothing for me today. Surprised I didn't get dinged.

[krad]

Is this just a massive batch of holds? Shit.

Edit: no wonder they left early, since this decision probably provokes the most calls.

Blah.

Looks like they are trying to keep to their 8 week decision timeframe yet still give themselves more time to shape their class.

I agree: BLAH!

[Hannibal]

I'm probably just gonna withdraw. I'm not gonna wait past April to start planning, and I wouldn't go to NU at sticker.

[Trustbuster]

No way I can wait. I never understood some of these school's time frames.

[Flips88]

They will notify held people by May? That's a ways away...

And after many schools' first round of deposit due dates.

[xtine]

wow, why did they call this a batch of decisions? seems more like a batch of lack of decision.

[awilson11]

To those just held, how do we feel about waiting until May for them to revisit the apps? I don't know if I can wait that long to make a decision on other schools...

If I get held, then I am going to withdraw. I am already skeptical about living (freezing) in Chicago.

Oh well, SO and I are headed to Chi at the end of Feb so I'll probably see what I can finagle.

[rs2004]

FYI:

Starting September 1, on-campus interviews will be available every weekday except Wednesdays and university holidays through March 4, 2011. Interviews offered after March 4 are for hold candidates only. Candidates on hold may not interview prior to March 4 and interview dates will be posted for candidates on hold in late January.

+1, hopefully accepts are coming out soon? Doubtful, but we can hope, right?

interesting to note in the last tweet that they say "notifications are being sent..."

Thanks Flips. We're headed there regardless in late Feb to visit his fam, so I guess I'll just visit or something and then get the heck back there a few weeks later if I haven't already accepted another school.

[mistermister]

Have there been many RD dings at all yet?

[Gotti]

no email......with all the other reverse splitters who didn't get an email, can't help but think this is a ding.

[Hannibal]

So many schools are getting heavy with the WLs and holds because they want to keep their numbers up with fewer applicants. The spiteful person in me hopes it bites them in the ass big time.

I have been held...and I am so relieved/overwhelmed. AHHH what to do

There was a round of them on Monday, including mine.

Looks like this might be a soft waitlist if they don't actually review until May according to:

They do say they might review before May but this is looking very meh.

I propose the users on TLS pool money and buy U.S. News and World Report so we have the power

[eskimogirl]

held as well. definitely withdrawing my application.

[rs2004]

did the hold notifications need to be downloaded?

[eskimogirl]

did the hold notifications need to be downloaded?

yes. and the lack of decision felt extremely anticlimactic.

[servo]

guess NU wants to retain their power over applicants a little longer

[rs2004]

yes. and the lack of decision felt extremely anticlimactic.

ok thanks. this was just weird.
