****OFFICIAL Northwestern CLASS OF 2020 Discussion Thread****

@mzr1998

Holy sh*t dude congrats!!!

@RamenUniversity Thank you! Could not believe it when I found out, I guess dreams do come true.

Congratulations! Does anyone know if we’ll hear back this week or next week?

hey everyone! super excited to get the results! hoping i don’t die of a heart attack when i see the email lol @-)

Wow that’s amazing! #jealous

@mzr1998 how did you already hear back? do the questbridge scholarship results come back earlier than the results for us peasants?

@jg2020 judging by last year, we will find out on Tuesday, December 15th, 5:30 central time 3:30 pacific time, etc. I live in California, so I would find out when I am taking a final! #blessed

@acx820 QuestBridge decisions were released on December 1st. Notifications were sent through QuestBridge application portal.

@jg2020 Thanks! And I believe ED results come out on December 15.

Wow congrats @mzr1998 !!

Hey guys. Can you chance me?

Sex: Male

Race: Nigerian

GPA: 3.8

SAT: 690M 700 CR 730W

SAT II: 640 Math II (RETOOK TODAY) Bio-M (CONSIDERING RETAKING BUT NOT SURE)

Extra-curriculars:
Math Club
NHS, SHS
Fundraiser of Multicultural Club
Relay for Life (raised $450 for American Cancer Society)
Church Youth Group Leader
Cross Country Varsity (no special awards, just a varsity letter :()
Track (nothing special)
Volunteer at Hospital (130 Hours)
Executive in student non-profit organization for Autism Awareness
Executive in a start-up business

Now, I know I didn’t do anything that special. I certainly didn’t specialize in any specific area. But I really want to get into this school RD. (It’s fine if I don’t). What do you think? Also should I retake Bio in January?

ECs are great! (not amazing, but definitely above average) As far as GPA and test scores, they look ok if not slightly low (but idk about the rigor of your HS or the types of classes you took) (also SAT scores will probably go up). Good luck! @jefchuk

@jefchuk is that 3.8 weighted or unweighted? if it’s unweighted then you’re fine, but weighted would not be great. your SAT score is low for Northwestern. If your math II score doesn’t go up, don’t submit it because a 640 won’t help you. You’re on the lower end, but you are Nigerian which will help u a bit. No matter who you are it’s hard to get in RD, but it’s worth a shot. Good luck

@muynoches international student here~

State: International student but study in California
School: Weinberg and Bienen dual degree
Major: history at weinberg and piano performance at Bienen

Does anyone here also apply for Bienen dual degree ED?

Anyone have any idea when they are going to release results? Ive heard he 12th is a possibility, but also last friday and that they might just wait until the 15th.

I applied RD so I have a looooong time to wait but I’m from Wisconsin and I applied to Medill for Journalism. NU is my reach school so I’m not expecting an acceptance but who knows! Good luck to everyone who applied ED!

Does the fact that Questbridge results came out mean that ED results are completed as well and just need to be sent out/double checked?

@nicesocksdude nobody knows :wink:

lets be patient and distract ourselves. anyone here watch football?

@petercsauer it’s either the 11th or 15th. I’m hoping the 11th so I know whether or not I have to study for finals

How do we find out? Is it an email sent out right then? I posted that same question herehttp://talk.collegeconfidential.com/northwestern-university/1838425-early-decision-questions.html?new=1
