This isn’t very reliable, but over a month ago my brother that goes to NU heard that decisions would be released the Thursday finals ended, which is today.
Is there a specific online portal for NU? I have one but it’s really weird
Yes - I never received information to log into a portal? When/how did you guys get yours and can you link the portal URL here?
Exactly. The portal is of no use. NU will send email (as I understand)
My friend who got in early said that they send u an email with a link to the portal. Then they tell u to check ur status on the portal.
ED came out at around 3 pst so just fyi everyone
I low key hope it’s not this week
Anybody else get into UChicago yesterday?
My friend just called Northwestern and they said that the Twitter page (which announced that decisions would be announced this week) “is not managed by them,” (even though it’s the official Northwestern twitter page???) and that “they aren’t making a decision date public,” but decisions will ultimately be out by the end of March.
directions for getting a portal are here:

please scroll through the thread to look for answers before asking questions.
@amoore001 that is one of the most amazing stories I’ve heard. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that they won’t look past your test scores. I think you have a good chance. Keep us posted and best of luck.
Does anyone know if they send out the physical acceptance letters through UPS? (Maybe 2 day air or something) Or is it through the regular mail?
Gonna try the WashU trick??
@TytoAlba what’s the WashU trick?
^^ I’ve been using that UPS service and obsessively checking it everyday lol
@freakingout12345 WashU sent all of their acceptances via priority UPS mail. Everyone went and signed up for a my UPS profile. You could see in the portal for UPS when the admissions office had registered your package with UPS for delivery. So in essence you got a heads up before it actually arrived. As I recall it gave everyone who was accepted 24 hour advance notice before the email went out that the portal was updated.
@TytoAlba UPS or USPS?
@TytoAlba thanks!
Still really upset at my UChicago rejection. Not feeling so hot about Northwestern. 
@NICE8x UPS. the brown trucks.
