<p>I have received nothing from Northwestern since its e-mail confirming it received my application. Is that normal?</p>
<p>I received no mail from NU from the “Complete and Under Review” email until my acceptance letter, so yes, it is normal.</p>
<p>When did you get your letter btw? ea or rd? class of 2016, I assume.</p>
<p>I received my letter on December 9th around 5pm, and yeah it was through Early Decision!</p>
<p>D is currently a freshman who was admitted RD last year. </p>
<p>No communication is normal.</p>
<p>I remember being surprised by this when D applied. Every other school sent her MOUNTAINS of mail once they had her application, and some even sicked persistent alum on her. D thought that most communication from schools after she’d applied, but before she was admitted, was superfluous and sometimes even annoying.</p>
<p>The good news is that once you are accepted, we’ve found that NU strikes a perfect balance in communication. We seem to get exactly what we want, precisely when we need it. Not too much, not too little.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>
