<p>CONGRATULATIONS! I’ll bet you’re all very excited today!!</p>
<p>Here’s an overview of what I remember from last year, in more-or-less chronological order.</p>
<p>1) The big e-mail arrives, pointing you to the even BIGGER on-line decision. Hoorah!
2) You’ll set up an on-line account at CAESAR, NU’s net-hub for students.
3) A decision letter arrives via snail mail. It will be so SMALL you’ll think you’re rejected.
4) You’ll get your FA offer (if relevant) via CAESAR the snail-mail.
5) Send notice to all other schools you applied to, withdrawing decisions.
6) Make a small tuition deposit and a housing deposit.
7) You’ll be contacted by your PA (Peer Advisor), who will be available to answer questions. This was sometime in the summer I think.
8) Fill out Housing Request forms. I think this was in August?
9) Wildcat Welcome is the first week of the year, and that’s when Freshman move in to dorms and register for classes. They help you with everything that week.</p>
<p>A couple quick tips…</p>
<p>A) Find out when Wildcat Welcome and Family Weekend will be, and book hotels ASAP. They don’t call NU the Land of the Over-Prepared for nothing, and those hotels fill up QUICKLY!! ;-D</p>
<p>B) Expect to feel odd and a bit left out while all of your RD friends are busting their humps on applications and stressing while you’re FINISHED. </p>
<p>C) You will want to be finished with HS tomorrow, but you’re not, so keep learning and excelling because you WILL need all those good habits more than ever next year!!</p>
<p>Again, congratulations!!!</p>
