Wow. So where's everybody going after they get rejected from NU?

Perididdle

That's a pretty negative and unnecessary way to put it, cclolz. =/

I'll be applying to University of Texas @ Austin, USC, Boston University, maybe Cornell, Penn and/or University of Florida. Depends all on how the cards fall.

cclolzftw

Haha. I'm just praying that the ED rate remains at 35 to 40 percent this year.

After Northwestern, I have a laundry list of safeties: Indiana, Mizzou, Loyola Chicago, and American. I'll probably end up at Loyola or American unless Christopher Watson has anything to do with it.

And how will we be able to access admissions decisions? Is there an online portal? Or via e-mail?

Mizzou! Looking for journalism schools? Ace program, and the town is fabulous. It's very much like Evanston, if just a touch smaller, and without Chicago right there. Really, it might not be as academically outstanding as NU, but Mizzou is a nice school on a lovely campus in an awesome town!

Then again, I'm biased. I love my hometown!

I also have some friends at Loyola who love it there, so that sounds like a good choice, too!

From what I've heard, it will be via some sort of online portal. Not 100% on that, though.

I've visited both schools already. I can't get too excited about Mizzou for some reason. It's probably the size and the overall state school atmosphere. Everything about Loyola appeals to me except the journalism program itself. One of the professors admitted to me that it's "mid-major, like the college basketball teams, you know?"

UChicago(bleh), Notre Dame (eh), NYU ($), UVa (meh), Villanova, Rochester... and other smaller insignificant schools

I would actually HATE going to these schools. I need Northwestern.
Also my semester grades are plummeting, which could hurt my chances if I do get rejected.

Just an update for all NUEDers:

I called the admissions office to check if my supplementary recommendations were received and they told me that they can't provide that information yet because e-mails are going out within the next few weeks with "application status checks."

If not NU then...

Yale, Brown, Williams, Vassar, Wesleyan, Skidmore, Oberlin, maybe Tufts, maybe Middlebury

Northwestern ED acceptance rate has been between 40-44% for last 4 cycles.

I'm also applying to Wash U, Michigan, Illinois, and Duke. I would be very happy going to my second choice, Michigan, where I think my chances are pretty solid.
