** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

@ths17112 yes IL, 40min drive from NU

Nobody should call NU because it states explicitly on the website that Dec 15 is early decision release date. Calling would just demonstrate ignorance and might annoy.

I’m from a private school 50 minutes away from NWU, and 5 students (out of 154 in total) in my class applied ED.

@vlau007 i think I probably know your school, at new Lenox?

@Zpower99 No, in Lombard (western suburb). :stuck_out_tongue:

ONE WEEK Y’ALL

guys i check this thread everyday for updates its like part of my morning routine: brush my teeth, get ready for school, eat breakfast and check the NW thread like i check snapchat lol

@indiaaa7
ME TOO!
i check randomly throughout the day lol
how desperate are we? XD

@Littlebitanxious hahaha i know right? hey you’re from India right? so am I! I mean I live in Mumbai

Are you guys still planning on going to school on 14th or 15th?

Lol honestly depends on how well i take the results and my mood i guess but probably still going cuz finals are coming up soon

lol 4 people in my school got into Cornell ED… making me anxious

I really hope decisions come out on Monday.

Seniors at my school usually wear college shirts on Friday, tomorrow is the last Friday before decision, and most likely my last chance to wear NU shirt. :((

@Zpower99 Nice, you should wear a college shirt! If I get into NU, I won’t brag by wearing a college shirt however lol… probably because I don’t even have one.

@w17mywoes
I can see how you were anxious! Instead of people getting into cornell ED, very smart people with near perfect stats got rejected from cornell at my school! Wish us both the luck for NU.

@Vlau0707
I think decisions will most likely come out on the 15th and on the 14th in the afternoon. I wish you luck!

This may have already been posted, but I believe this is the portal where they first release your application status. Then they send out emails, and later on letters.

Hey y’all I’m an NU Class of 2020 regular applicant turned gap year student (I’ll be with y’all in the class of 2021). Super excited for all of you and just wanted to remind you to relax and just enjoy. What’s done is done. There’s no need to get nervous about what you’ve done and compare yourself to anyone else because you all are unique and are more than just numbers and achievements to admissions, I promise. Have a good night all, and good luck!

Also, Lulu7575 is correct about the way the application status works.

How do you log in using the portal?

What’s the temporary password
