<p>i applied b/c of Medill. The biggest pros for me are the proximity to Chicago, Medill, the reputation, and the overall positive vibe 
Number one big huge con: the weather…i’m really scared</p>
<p>There goes 5 P.M. in Evanston.</p>
<p>Bah.</p>
<p>yeah I almost applied for Medill but chose McCormick instead. (i know a stark contrast). I chose NU because its close to my hometown of Waukegan and I didnt really like moving from it. Also talking to the associate dean of McCormick pretty much cemented NU as my #1 choice. Plus really want to mark up the rock. ;)</p>
<p>Plumsnow, I heard it from your sister’s friend’s COUSIN’S babysitter’s MAILMAN’S neighbor’s brother’s wife’s colleague, who is an admissions officer. Except I heard 7:45, not 7:43. Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>It could be later because Davidson posted theirs around 9:00 eastern time…</p>
<p>i’m gonna kill something if it’s not out by the time i’m done watching the office and 30 rock.</p>
<p>and I mean PM not AM</p>
<p>Oh, and to answer the discussion question, NU is the only school I’ve been decided on since sophomore year when we had to do college portfolios. I chose it because of its academic reputation and journalism rankings, though I actually have ended up more interested in the communications studies program. The size of the undergrad population is decent, and I made a commitment early on to stay in the midwest. Northwestern’s not my top choice - because I don’t have a top choice, which just means if everywhere offers the same sort of financial aid as I’ve been offered other places (CRAPPY.), then I’ll have a very tough decision ahead of me.</p>
<p>Edit: I also just though of something though - seems talking about why we all want to go to NU just makes the pressure worse. I propose alternate discussion topics - What homework are you avoiding right now? What are your plans for the weekend?</p>
<p>b. I’m avoiding taking notes for history. I am so over that class at this point. And chem. Not good.
c. I’m hosting a (sort of) classic Disney movie marathon. We will start with Lion King, and probably end up watching Phantom of the Opera. I know that isn’t Disney, but who will stop us? Then on Saturday, I have a voice lesson because (oh no!) regional solo competition is in just over a week.</p>
<p>I only found out about NU after looking at UChicago and realizing that it wasn’t for me (and that there was another great university not too far away…)</p>
<p>Mainly the strength of undergraduate engineering and potential research opportunities are what drew me.</p>
<p>it just took about 2 minutes for my email to refresh so i got all excited that it was new mail, but it wasnt anything</p>
<p>its official my email is taunting me</p>
<p>what rhymes with green?
mean lean keen</p>
<p>clearly im bored and it is a very good thing it is second semester or we would all be failing our classes spending all our time on this particular thread</p>
<p>so yeah about senioritis has everyone been infected yet??</p>
<p>^ hellllllllllllz yeah.</p>
<p>im dying</p>
<p>yes definitly…!!!</p>
<p>ugh i was just rejected by both duke and uva. what if i don’t get in anywhere? what am i going to do??!?!?</p>
<p>Man, I just got rejected by Duke too. My first rejection, so it hurt doubly -_-</p>
<p>Of the people who have mentioned UVA recently, are you guys Virginia residents or OOS applicants?</p>
<p>^ I was looking through the Duke forum… yikes. No worries, though, I’m sure both of you will end up at great schools. </p>
<p>So what is the current consensus on the decision time?</p>
<p>there is no current consensus but i’m going to go officially insane if it’s not tonight</p>
<p>rejected from Berkeley…come on NU, help me out</p>
<p>atleast im not gonna die over Nu for the next few hours thanks to Berkeley :)</p>
