** Official Northwestern Class of 2021 Discussion Thread **

Missed my interview opportunity… They only offered a few interviews in my area. Sucks, NU is one of my favorites.

@CuriousBobby and @niclyd95 , I missed it too. The email went to my spam folder. I emailed them and told them about the mishap… They were cool about it and told that it would not affect the decision in any way… :slight_smile:

Did anyone else get the Integrated Science Program (ISP) invite?

@JBStillFlying I did too. Applied for humanities though

Yes

@IvyKid1 my D applied to Weinberg for social sciences, so we were a bit confused. Sounds like it’s a generic e-mail.

I didn’t get the invite…but i applied as a science major for weinberg. what was the invite?

Just an e-mail about ISP (see link below). Those interested in applying have to do so separately from the regular admission process which is probably why they sent this out.

http://www.isp.northwestern.edu

Is it bad that I didn’t receive the email for ISP even though I applied as a science related major @ Weinberg?

@allima you shouldn’t read much into it. My D did NOT apply as a science major and she received it. It might be hit-or-miss (or the e-mail went to your Spam).

Seems like a mass e-mail. I’m a philosophy major and I’ve taken multivariable calc, but I think it’s sent automatically to all Weinberg/STEM applicants.

i didnt get one…?

I actually started thinking about applying for ISP after that e-mail until I realized I missed my chance last Saturday to take the one other subject test I would have needed…

Do you guys think applying to ISP would show additional interest in the school and help with regular Northwestern admission?

Not sure, @collegelessguhl. They say it’s separate admission. It’s a moot point with us anyway because D17 doesn’t have any science subject tests and isn’t about to take them. I was flipping through her application tonight to make sure she didn’t accidentally apply to a science major. Turns out she mentions math throughout her essays! Maybe they read them and tossed her name over to this program. I doubt it increased chances or anything.

@JBStillFlying I DIDNT RECEIVE ANYTHING ABOUT ISP
does that mean I didn’t get into northwestern RD??? :frowning:

same here @allima

@Harryp17 did you apply as a science major too?

@allima I’m pretty sure they haven’t made RD decisions yet.
