@MMSS2020 thx for the reply. I already have done a ton of research on the program and I will definitely apply if I get into northwestern ed. I wrote about the program in my why nw essay. I’m interested in knowing more about how you became interested or acquainted with the program(i.e. Did you write about it in your essay, your academic background etc). Thx again for the help! And Morty seems like a great prez to have.
How is the weather up there? I like the cold, but I know Chicago’s winters are pretty nasty.
@Chicagodreams9 Fantastic!!! Looks like you have a great start!
I have a very unconventional story in that I found out about and applied to MMSS two months after the deadline for applying passed and the decisions had already come out. I applied to the waitlist, and was admitted two weeks after I submitted my application.
I don’t want to give away a lot about me…so let’s just say I’m an Econ/MMSS major…that’s not a dead giveaway. I didn’t write about MMSS in my essay, and I just wrote about econ. But, your MMSS essay is where your passion for MMSS really matters! I think that’s the reason why they took me so quickly and so unconventionally.
Test scores-wise, you need to have impeccable scores for MMSS I think. Three kids out of thirty in my class got perfect scores on BC Calc yikes… As for me, I had the usual 5 on BC, 36 composite 143 total ACT, 800 Math II…it seems to be a similar story with many of my classmates
also I love Morty
@MMSS2020 thanks for the help:)
@Chicagodreams9 Anytime, hope to see you here and maybe even at MMSS lounge!
@WJShipp as a lifetime Chicago resident, not fun. But winters are bearable enough that I’m willing to stay here the next 4 years. Thursday we are supposed to have a high of 4 degrees 
Does anyone know if the emails are going to have our decisions in them or if we will have to log into the portal to see? I’m a bit worried to create an account before I’m given one and mess something up… Ik i am being paranoid but I just want everything to go right!
Thanks @futurecat
sighs and sips some “I applied Regular Decision” tea
But seriously, good luck to all of the ED applicants! 
this is so stressful, its like a massacre at my school with all the kids who so far haven’t got in to their top schools and its only going to become worse(or maybe better who knows) on thursday
Most probably you should have to log in the portal. The emails we get will tell us a decision has been posted on the portal, good luck! Hang in there buddy the wait is almost over!
two of my best friends who are insanely qualified (i’m not exaggerating) and like five other also really qualified kids i know just got rejected from columbia and i’m shaking tbh
i was on the phone with them while they checked their portals
i don’t think i can do this lmao
I’m freaking out guys I’ve been checking this so obsessively all day. I applied ED theatre as you can tell by this dumb username I made in August. I never thought I’d actually post anything but now I can’t resist. I try not to go on this website because it stresses me out but this thread is comforting because you guys can relate to how stressed I am. I think we should keep chance me posts and test scores off this thread, because that will just stress everyone out! Any other theatre applicants?
I really hope it comes out tomorrow. I don’t think I can wait any longer… My grades are going to suffer because this is all I can think about
@musicperson I feel you! I really hope it comes out tomorrow because I have at least three tests on Wednesday, and I really need to review!!
@musicperson welcome! I applied for comm studies not theatre but I’m a total theatre nerd!! where are you from?
LOL I feel like if it comes out before all my tests this week I’ll be either so ecstatic or so bummed that I wouldn’t be able to study at ALL 
I did!!
Hahaha I feel you guys so hard on the whole 3 tests thing… I really need to get an A on my physics and Gov finals but I haven’t studied at all because I’m too busy reading college confidential. I think I am actually going insane. I’ve watched the same “Reaction to Harvard Acceptance” video about 5 times tonight because it is giving me a weird sense of security. And every time I even think of the word Northwestern I feel the need to knock on wood. But there isn’t always wood around so I carry around this wooden christmas ornament to knock on. I’ve never been superstitious before but I figure I should do everything I can! (I promise I’m not crazy guys, I’m just extremely stressed.) But anyway I’m from Springfield IL! It’s weird to actually talk in here instead of just silently reading…
Okay but I encourage everyone who’s just reading and not responding to start responding! It’s strangely therapeutic.
Our counselor contacted our regional rep and told me that the results will be released on Wednesday…Wednesday cannot come soon enough.
