NU Apps '11-'12 - Good Luck Hold Candidates!!!! <3 Forum

[franklyscarlet]

woohoo! I'm planning to be moved to Chicago in July if I end up at NU, so I figure I might buy the Google deal to use over the summer.

I just bought one, it's redeemable from Feb 10th to Aug 7th, so we can use it during ASW too (:

New to the TLS forums but I've been creeping on these threads for a while now. My status for NU changed to "Decision Letter Available within 24 hrs" today and I AM FREAKING OUT.

Don't worry!!! EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY <3 Best of luck, I hope these are acceptances today!!

posted it in NH for other ASW goers

Ham- we're here for you!! Deep breaths.

NU has literally ruined my attempt to read The Sociological Imagination by 3 pm. Guys, anyone read it? Any summary available. THANKS

[southernsuperstar]

of course the one day that I'm not obsessing over NU is when I get "decision posted within 24 hours" AHHHHH bye bye productivity......

sing it, sister.

So it says Decision Letter Available Within 24 Hours, and when I log on to the Retrieval System, it just asks me to confirm my contact info and gives me general admission information. Is this a trick? Is my letter not really up??

Mine says that too.

Wish I could help with this, but I can't remember this ever having happened before...or at least no one's commented on it? I HOPE THAT MEANS YOU'RE IN

So guys, we know we get it on the decision letter retrieval thinger, but is there an email that accompanies the actual decision? Let a sister know. I'm going to be in class from 3-5:20 with a professor who despises technology to talk about a book I have not read. This is going to be a rough day

Yes, typically there is an email that comes along with it. Sometimes the DL shows up before the email, sometimes the email shows up before the DL. Lately the DLs have been showing up first though.

Held!

[avd90]

Held. Not surprised. URM around the median for URM acceptances but no WHY NU, no interview. Might get off hold.

[crumpetsandtea]

Boooooooooo ): I wanted MOAR ACCEPTANCES!!! Hope y'all decide to stay on the hold and end up coming to NU with us <3 <3 <3

Quick Question: People who were ED held and then admitted/dinged/WL, did your status checker ever update again? Mine still has my original held decision date (12/16) and the "letter available in 24 hours" link to the original held letter.

The lack of update makes obsessing over your NU status checker a bit more challenging... lol

When it's a new decision, the date will update.

And, sorry to hear about all of the holds... trust me, I know first hand how much that sucks.

KEEP THE FAITH!

Held Definitely will submit LOCI, but other than that, what to do?

Gotcha. Thanks!!!

[Mr. Somebody]

Held *expletive*

[Samara]

More holds? Lame!

[georgeconstanza]

Held. Is that just another word for waitlist?

[180asBreath]

I don't know why I'm surprised at being held, but I am.

Wait, unfortunately ):

[jhw219]

Looks like another round of holds (same here).
I'm ecstatic though! I was expecting an outright rejection

[fingerscrossedxx]

More holds? Lame!

Indeed! Was hoping for some better news for this group! Welcome to the NU Held pool!
