Northwestern Waitlist 2028

Are you sure that what they uploaded was your loci? The portal update may just be from the follow up email you sent that day. i doubt they actually forgot to upload the loci

Any other waitlist movement as far as others have heard? Eerily quiet this year (unlike past few)…

I’m on the waitlist, but basically I sent an email to my regional ao and they said they’ll start going through waitlist “in the coming week”.

Most likely tomorrow or next week if I have to guess

Waitlist is moving

Received an email earlier today to set up a call about the waitlist!

Please provide more information such as what your major is, and if you provided an LOCI, new info or anything beyond that. Thank u!!

Thank you
This is my second child. He applied into CAS. Wrote a brief LOCI and had an additional LOR
sent in.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Congrats! Do you mind sharing what region you’re from?

Thank you! Northeast

Has anyone been admitted off the waitlist for Engineering?

Hi everyone,

I was waitlisted for the class of 2027 and, despite writing two LOCI, I was rejected. However, I recently got accepted as a sophomore transfer for Comp Sci!

If Northwestern is your dream school, don’t give up. Maintain a strong GPA, even if you start at another university, and consider reapplying as a transfer. I stayed focused on this goal by connecting with professors and engaging in extracurricular activities during my first year.

I know how challenging being on the waitlist can be.

Best of luck to all of you who are still waiting!

No material movement here, correct? From prior years, first big wave was Apr 29th-May 4th. And 2nd wave during the 2nd and 3rd week of May (ie now). Anyone willing to speculate as to why?

I got off the waitlist yesterday and will be attending—very very very excited. They probably aren’t done. Don’t lose hope :slight_smile:
