For those that check DLS, do you have two complete dates, or do you have received/complete?
Will my 8-10 week timeline start from Jan, or from when I went complete 2/15. The latter would suck since I have a long way to go even though I applied almost two months ago.
Sry if I sound paranoid, NU is a top choice.
I had two complete dates. Did you do an online interview or did you interview with someone? It took me a little while to go complete after interviewing but I interviewed with an actual person on skype.
Damn it, didn't want to hear that. Why did my app go complete on 2/15 when I completed my interview on 1/16? Uh, so frustrating, and time is so important now.
So to make sure I'm understanding correctly, on DLS you had "app received," complete date 1, and complete date 2? In case I wasn't clear I have 2 dates also, but one of them is "received."
And brinicolec, you own this board lol, thanks for always answering everyone's questions. Are you 4sure attending NU?

For everybody here:

You will have two complete dates, one when you send in your app and one when your app is finalized. It will take about a month between the two. Kinda sucks but, that's northwestern for you

The dates won't be displayed at the same time. The date will jus change, basically like it does for UR dates.

And lol, I try to answer what I can! I'm probably like 90% sure about attending NU. I'm waiting to see about money and vibes I get from Boston when I visit there but have also been online apartment shopping in neighborhoods near NU Law sooooo... lol. I'm just hoping they won make me pay sticker because while I think it's doable to pay off that much debt, it's not something I want to do lol. I'm excited to check Chicago out for Diversity Day and ASW. I'm going a couple days early since I've never been to Chicago before and a current student I contacted to ask some questions offered to suggest some places to check out to get a feel of chicago.

When would one submit info about other scholarships to Northwestern? Before or after the March 20-28th release of offers? I wasn't sure if that was something that they want as additional info as they make their initial decision, or if it's that's solely for negotiation after the initial offer.

I just got my decision. Waitlisted. I just don't... I'm about to cry. 5th waitlist in a row, still not a single acceptance.

Why, Northwestern?

Same here, waitlisted. It sucks. At least they start reevaluating waitlisted applicants mid April, which isn't too far out.

Once your application status is complete, please allow eight to ten weeks to receive a decision. If your application is complete before December, this timeframe will begin on December 1.
Today officially marks the end of week 12. :?

Waitlisted. It was a top choice for a long long time.!! Lowest point in this cycle. Hoping things would only get better from here on in.

The admissions office said scholarship decisions will be issued in the "next week or two."

Complete 1/4 (post-Dec. score) and still waiting. Already have six-figure offers at higher ranked schools, so even if I get in, not sure if I feel like writing their scholarship essay...
