Does anyone know about financial aid???
Rejected… I shouldn’t be surprised, but it’s still disappointing.
2370 SAT, 4.0 uw GPA, 1/400 of class, great recommendations.
Haha, lesson learned. Don’t neglect to write your why northwestern essay until a month after the deadline, and don’t procrastinate!
@CaliCash you’re being somewhat hypocritical in your response. You give off a fairly strong hint of arrogance and entitlement in your comment too. Congratulations on your acceptance! But let’s still not try to be rude 
Congrats to all those who are accepted! I am so excited to meet you guys (of the ones deciding to go there) next quarter. For all those wait listed, keep on swimming. For all those rejected, there are plenty of other fish in the sea
Rejected. 2370, IB 42, subject tests 800s…
I’m pretty bummed because I love Northwestern. But everything has a way of working out in the end.
congrats to all those accepted. And to waitlists/rejects, let’s not lose hope! We have worked so hard, so I’m sure we’ll have good options and a wonderful college life in the end.
@ikadiggit Someone hung up the phone on me. That’s entirely different than someone say ignoring an email.
@Hawkace Obviously I’m not talking to you. I admire your ability to acknowledge that you may have been rejected for different reasons. But I was talking to the person who was saying that Northwestern waitlisted them because they were too good. I’m not speaking about everyone. Just that person 
@reecie569 Didn’t mean to come across that way. I apologize. It just seemed like that person was sour grapes.
@ClassicalCollege Thank you for the words of encouragement. Congratulations on those great schools!
@CaliCash Congrats on the acceptance, but there are plenty of healthier alternatives to cannabis tea.
Yeah I guess so. If that’s what makes this less painful, then so be it.
@supersoaker101 I prefer Red Zinger or Earl Grey actually 
in NY and still no email… anyone else?
@CaliCash Wait listing is super weird in my opinion. I got accepted into NU and was wait listed at U of Mich (EA). I got in ED to NU (so don’t know what U of M would have been because I withdrew my app)
@CaliCash “sips tea”? That is just rude. Don’t act so entitled just because you’ve gotten in. People are upset and worried, and they’re trying to comfort themselves. Even if you were to suggest they’re wrong, don’t take such a disparaging tone. We’ve all worked hard here, we don’t deserve your disrespect.
@booapush The decisions prove that standardized testing and grades are not they key to getting in.
My best friend for rejected by her dream college. My advice to her: If this rejections hurts that bad, go out, and stick it to them. Fight to be the best you can be and when you become the most successful person in your field and are making a speech at a convention or event, make sure to start off by saying “Before I begin, I would like to thank _________ for rejecting me…”
Anyone here apply to HPME?
@CollegeIsAMaybe You have to create your account w/ NU to see that data (info will be mailed to you I believe). Then there is a financial aid part that is supposed to tell you how much you qualify for
No email yet - Texas
@CaliCash I know a student at my school who was accepted over another student. Between those two students, the one that was accepted had significantly lower statistics (4 point difference on ACT) and a significantly lower GPA. Stop attacking other people who are just trying to feel better about their rejections/waitlists. Congratulations on your acceptance.
