<p>Has Northwestern posted any info on an admitted students weekend in April?</p>

<p>Trying to plan another trip to Chicago in April & this info would be helpful so we could make 1 trip instead of two- just in case we hear good news soon.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>From what I remember there are three sessions but they aren’t a “weekend” as in Saturday and Sunday. I know two overlap like Sunday-Monday, Monday-Tuesday and those are usually a week before the third session. </p>

<p>Also, my department advisor asked me if I could be free to talk to prospective students on April 21 and 28, so I’m thinking that is one of the days. I’d venture to say that it will be April 20-21, April 21-22 and April 27-28. </p>

<p>You could try doing a search on the Northwestern page. The admitted students program is called “Preview NU.” Hope that helps and hope you hear good news. Viel Glück!</p>

<p>I’'m going to another school’s overnight program on the 17th-18th. Do you guys think they would let me schedule an overnight on the 19th? This is, of course, pending that I get in. Also, how would you get to Northwestern from Hyde Park using public transportation?</p>

<p>To CNI:</p>

<p>To get from Northwestern from Hyde Park using public transportation is a pain, and will take anywhere from 90 minutes- 2 hours. Depending on where you are in Hyde Park, you can probably take the Red Line and then transfer to Purple Line. There are also bus routes along Lake Shore Drive, but I personally don’t like buses very much.</p>

<p>lol @ “another school” in hyde park … hmm, wonder what school that might be?</p>

<p>I don’t believe you’re quite right on this one. It took me an hour and ten tops from Northwestern to U of C on the red/purple lines.</p>

<p>ha ha ha @ lilybbloom</p>

<p>hmmm…very mysterious.</p>

<p>///mzeasy: meh. I guess it all depends on your luck, when you’re traveling, etc. CTA does tend to be rather unpredictable.</p>

<p>CNI, you’re going to have to find a bus that takes you to a red-line stop, from there, take the red line towards howard, get off at howard and switch to the purple line and take it to foster. Head east about 2-3 blocks, you’ll be right in the middle of campus and welcome to the “nice” part of chicago :p</p>

<p>You can take the #55 on 55th (just across from the athletic building) to the Red line at Garfield. Be prepared to wait as much as 30 minutes for the bus (if you’re unlucky). Usually its a little better during the day though (I always had bad experiences at night and particularly going to U of C.</p>

<p>The name has changed to “Wildcat Days: Preview NU” (not much of a name change, I know, but I figure it’s important to note).</p>

<p>Dates are:
April 21-22
April 22-23
April 28-29</p>

<p>the program sucked when i came two years ago. it was just pointless reminders to tell me to do my financial aid, boring programs that more than half of the people fell asleep, and throwing me to overnight hosts who hosted me just for points and made me sleep on the hallway IN JONES (where its 90% theater/music major).</p>

<p>then last year when the prospees came, they had this awkward dance party where only us nu students dancing and having fun.</p>

<p>just find some friendly looking people on facebook and ask them to host you. you will probably end up having a better time here and save the $$.</p>

<p>i think it is worth going, it actually helped me make my decision last year</p>

</p>

<p>Lol…I slept in a hallway at Jones during my overnight too…not a wildcat day…anyhow, still weird coincidence</p>
