@polkmn They have a portal I believe, but they don’t let you know about it until decisions are posted. I think this is what happened last year.
There is no portal for applicants right now. Perhaps this comes later IF you are accepted?
@TytoAlba no actually I already set mine up. Google search Northwestern admissions portal. Obviously you weren’t given a password yet so click forgot password and enter your email that you put on your application. It will send you a temporary pin. Nothing displays yet–it is quite literally only for application status–no received material list or anything else like that. Then it’s just a waiting game 
@TytoAlba - I googled that and it takes you to Adm. Where in there is the login that you are talking about? Thanks, in advance.
I checked my DD’s email and see there IS a portal, she got a link to back in December.
The portal has nothing on it at the moment. I cannot share the link because it is individualized.
When you open it, it says:
Application Status for STUDENT NAME
If you need to contact us regarding your application, provide your name and this reference number: ########
*** THIS IS WHAT I GOT BACK IN DEC *** NO PORTAL???

Same as @yalebound2020
no portal for me either
@yalebound2020 @VaishS I received no portal either-just that email about my application being complete and under review.
@TytoAlba - Do you care to elaborate on your portal e-mail? Thanks
I got the email about the portal the day I got in. They sent me an email saying that the admissions decisions were out and it led you to a website that allowed you to make a portal.
No portal.
guys

@yalebound2020 I didn’t get a link in the email I just decided to create one before the day they come out…
@sodapop027 - are you able to accomplish anything more by creating this login? Are you able to view your application status?
@shivaya no, they haven’t posted decisions yet.
I just made a portal and it literally has nothing on it
I went back to all the emails I’ve received from the school and I don’t have a portal either.
Is there a specific pattern that Northwestern likes to follow when releasing RD decisions? (ie always releasing on a Friday)
@sodapop027 - Thanks, really!
@sodapop027 - Thanks
no problem hopefully we will be able to access our decisions before everyone else goes and crashes the site lol
lol @sodapop027
