** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

other people have gotten emails about the specific day/time their results will come out but I think the only email we’ll receive is the one telling us our results are up on the portal

@ths17112 By other people do you mean people who ED’d to different schools?

@chipotleeveryday I don’t think it matters at all NU is pretty chill about most things. I highly doubt they care. especially in terms of second semester attendance, grades, and disciplinary action, they really could care less (coming from experience from my brother - NU class of 2019)

@tylerperez12 yes people who ED’d to other schools

Here’s a tip: when you run out of college acceptance/denial videos to watch, watch dorm move-in videos. They’re just as stressful and exciting :slight_smile:

@cisobelm hahahaha that’s actually very helpful

@ths17112 there is a NU portal??

Does anyone know how we find out the ED decisions? Is it an email or do we need to login somewhere?

@eflomen they’ll send the decision via email

@eflomen You will get an email that says your decision has been posted on your portal, along with your temporary password to your portal. Then you log in to see your result.

@nikhil99 I think there is a NU portal, because your decision will be posted online.

I am already getting excited!
@Chicagodreams9
Probably a lot. There are a lot more ppl who are applying for the fun of it than you think. Anywhere between 50-100 is my guess, but remember a lot of them are not qualified at all so in terms of competitive applicants, probably around 1-2 per school and there are a lot of schools in washington so…

Decisions came out on a Monday for the last 2 years, so I’m really hoping for today. Crazy to think it’s possible that in the next few hours some of us will know where we’re spending the next 4 years of our lives!

@Chicagodreams9
Or think of it like this, there are about 3700 applicants total, about 600 of them are international, that leaves 3100 for 50 states. Divide that by 50 leaves about 60 applicants per state. So I guess my estimate was reasonable after all! Good Luck to you and me! Bellevue might have a few more cats than intended!

I’m so scared for it to come out during class, and don’t want to be discouraged during a physics test after school :frowning:

The rumored date of release is the 15th and @chipotleeveryday unless it was like all at once I really doubt it matters

I just applied RD. How long does it take usually for NU to send someone their Portal details?

@nikhil99 They only send it to you when your letter has been posted, so on the day when decisions come out.

ED applicant here, does anyone know what time of day decisions usually come out? I’m super scared to get the letter during class lol

@awats19 Around 6-6:30 EST.

What’re the chances that ED comes out tonight?
