** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

Bombed a Spanish test over here :-h
Well at least we’re united lol

@vermouth89 Same day, Same ap chem, same fail

the american college system is so abusive; it unfairly rewards students who work hard for three-four years with anxiety and stress because even if they meet all requirements and did everything they possibly could, there’s a chance of rejection due to factors out of one’s hands :frowning: i wish there was a better alternative

approx 72-73 hours… :-S

Let me post this again…

@Vlau0707 I was just going off the NU website, but I hope it’s sooner than the 15th

@qwertyem564 Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to criticize your post. I just wanted to say that anything can happen TODAY!!

I went to my college guidance counselor and freaked out a little today, and she said that she thinks the results will be released Wednesday (12/14). I don’t know how true that is or how reliable her insight would be, but she did used to work at UChicago admissions and she got her graduate degree from Northwestern, so I’m hoping she knows something the rest of us don’t lol…though it’s highly possible she was just theorizing.

I think it’s most likely that the decisions will be coming on Thursday. I just don’t see NU breaking from the pattern.

Please be today. Anyone?

Honestly I am not ready for today

Okay so I’m new to CC so I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but…

So I guess it’s not today then???

Has anyone looked at their portal?

lol I’ve literally refreshed my portal every hour today, there’s nothing

Not today… Guess it will be Thursday then.

Let’s just hope it’ll be up tomorrow!!

i am so nervous, i can’t function

Honestly chance me is stupid. Nothing against the people who ask to be chanced and I totally get that people are scared and worried about whether they will get in or not, but a bunch of other teens online have no say in your admissions decision. It is up to the admissions counselor to make the call. Like am I the only one who thinks that?
