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

So by having access to that portal, is it possible that we will be able view our decisions before NU sends out emails?

Evil Laugh

@smb63097 If you look on last year’s thread (Northwestern Class of 2019 thread), they were able to view it an hour or so before an email came!

My friend who got in ED last year said her decision came at exactly 5:30pm (we live in Chicago so it would depend on your location).

@headintheclauds do you think that means we are supposed to find out at 2:30 PST?

I just want to know exactly what time we find out, my buddies applied to Columbia early decision and Columbia sent out an email beforehand letting them know what time and how to access it.

also what is the temporary pin number when trying to log into this: https://ugadmission.northwestern.edu/account/login

Did they send us an email about it?

My dad also said he called admissions last week asking and they told him between 4-5pm on Tuesday December 15, so I’m not sure. I’m assuming around 5:00 but if our accounts get the decision about an hour before, then 4:00? I have no idea. I’m making my brother open it before I get home lol.

@rwerner16 do you live in MA? Like in the Boston area?

@rwerner16 I’m assuming if it’s 5:30 it would be 3:30 your time because Evanston is only two hours ahead of you.

Got it thanks @headintheclauds so we get an email and then go to our portal to find out right?

@headintheclauds the admissions said between 4-5pm which is PST or EST?

@LuckyCollegeGirl Probably CST since Northwestern is in that timezone

@shuab15 yeah, you are right. Thanks!

Also does anyone know the percentage of applicants they usually defer?

I just had an idea, can anyone check the common app ferpa page and see if NU downloaded your ED agreement, It would make sense that they’d only download it if they need it and they only need it if you get in

@tcq1234444 they’ve downloaded my counselor one but not my parent agreement. Now you got me paranoid.

@tcq1234444 I’m sure they would be aware of such a loophole

Otherwise you’re gonna scare me if mine isn’t downloaded

@jason922 same…

well mine isn’t downloaded yet but its very possible this late in the game they would’ve downloaded them for people who got in to make sure they actually signed it
