[ebon drift]

[primal forge]

[zealous matrix]

#1135696459510071337 message

Poll!

[white pendant]

86 rejected reactions LMAOOOO

[celest atlas]

this is also the highest concentration of high school sweats

[remote turtle]

No, not double 😭 7x2 ≠ 11.9

[dull field]

Is there a discord for accepted s tudents?

[still hare]

i think northwestern rd is especially bad cause they pull so heavily from ed

[remote turtle]

True

[still hare]

isn't the ed acceptance rate above 20 or smth

[long knot]

Ed rate 25% moment

[white pendant]

Yeah didn't uchicago do the same?

[remote turtle]

Same happened with UChi

[dull field]

I think its like 3.5% cause ED is so high

[white pendant]

honestly I hate ED 😭

[still hare]

i mean if you really love northwestern, its rlly good

[trail marten]

are decisions out

[glacial sapphire]

yes

[remote turtle]

RD for NWU last year was 5.6% or so I think

So I guess this is better than I thought tbh

[white pendant]

Jesus

[astral loom]

Woke my parents up for the decision to get rejected

[short citrus]

FR FR (i got rejected)

[white pendant]

This is shit because I need to do schoolwork rn (I'm three credits behind in my courses) and I'm too shaky to not do anything but sit around 😭

[remote turtle]

For Co2027

[trail marten]

you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy
when skies are gray

[violet temple]

northwesternk

[astral loom]

No worries I shall sleep now and accept my fate, wasn't expecting an acceptance anyways

[white pendant]

good god

[wide slate]

[hard totem]

Accepted

[astral loom]

Sameee :/

[remote turtle]

So realistically for this year RD is probably <5% overall

[half oyster]

all the good ones are

[astral loom]

Congrats!!

[remote turtle]

Since in 99% of cases acceptance rates drop year to year

[hard totem]

[solar mural]

Same here

[sage raptor]

[white pendant]

25 acceptances and only 1 rejection is insane holy cow 😭

[unkempt depot]

I hope there was this thing called donating acceptances

[mighty crater]

Fck northwestern

[barren nimbus]

aww :(

[bitter edge]

Rejected

[alpine lion]

😔

[humble pond]

I can’t even check rn this is scary

[verbal stag]

[zealous matrix]

[hybrid lion]

guys they want me but they dont wtf

[frank crag]

Int’l from ice

[tropic tulip]

so disappointed

[frank crag]

Aus

[tawny ether]

6th rejection in a row, so disappointing

[unkempt depot]

Does the admissions office check senior second semester grades for waitlisted students

[abstract plover]

5th waitlist

[dim creek]

no

[abstract plover]

0 rejections

bruh

2 acceptances

what is this

[unkempt depot]

Wait fr?

[vivid garden]

Usually yes

[dim creek]

They dont?

[humble pond]

How delulu should I be

[still hare]

they do?

[unkempt depot]

Cuz i have no chance if they do check

[dim creek]

waitlists are released in may, ss grades arent till june

[shut viper]

how’s the waitlist chances looking like

[vivid garden]

Colleges will check regardless

[still hare]

some schools have extended waitlists

[vivid garden]

Ur accepted one that u commit to will too

[still hare]

like stanfords extended waitlist goes till september or something stupid

[sturdy atlas]

Is this out

[dim creek]

So ig depends on school

and some waitlists are unranked

[abstract plover]

dawg i think my application doesnt have its shit together

[soft monolith]

Deferred and rejected

[unkempt depot]

I know like i mean i have zero chance cuz i have like 3 bs i dont mean that i have ds or stuff i hope they dont compare second semester grades among waitlisted students

[still hare]

i think most are

[abstract plover]

yea

at least from my experience

[vivid garden]

Ah gotcha

[abstract plover]

most top schools are unranked

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[vivid garden]

B’s won’t kill u

[uncut moss]

"This year, just over 50,000 students applied for 2,100 places in the first-year
class." 4% acceptance rate is crazy

[white pendant]

That's insane ikr

[dim creek]

yield

[still hare]

i think waitlist works by replacing someone similar with someone else similar i think? thats my personal guess

[abstract plover]

interesting

[vivid garden]

Correct; usually geographic too

[analog thunder]

not how it works

[still hare]

they try to maintain the same diversity in the class

[abstract plover]

i am very generic so maybe i have a chance

🙏

[vivid garden]

But usually multiple people with 1 it’s not a one to one ratio

[dim creek]

not really replacing but filling holes in majors and stuff

[lethal pelican]

i think my 2 B+ sophomore year killed me 😭 i guess 3rd place at ISEF meant nothing 😭

[still hare]

💀 wat

[tawny ether]

I had a C in my transcript

[lethal pelican]

yes i literally haven’t gotten in anywhere 😭

[analog thunder]

whats isef?

[still hare]

i think there r other reasons

[uncut moss]

is 2100 the number of people that go on to attend?

[sick crown]

rice northwestern back to back rejection 💪

yield protection is going too hard rn 🙄

[analog thunder]

yes, the number that they accept is larger

[tawny ether]

This is my 6th rejection

[still hare]

i doubt its ur grades. theres teacher reccs, essays, ecs. i mean awards r only a small part of the app

[lethal pelican]

i know like essays and stuff but there’s def an emphasis on grades too 😭

[still hare]

i swear 2 Bs wont kill you

[lethal pelican]

the other stuff have gotten me mit waitlist

so idk man 😭 and it was 3 Bs tbf

[uncut moss]

how do they know the number of people that commit already

[vivid garden]

I had 3 B’s and still got Cornell

[dim creek]

Grades are the number 1 thing on an app, but two Bs wont get you flat out rejected anywhere

[still hare]

ok 3 Bs can be iffy

[unkempt depot]

I should have just applied northwestern ed2 like i saw most seniors were going for the top of the top so fuck

[vivid garden]

Could be other stuff or just them being dumb

[analog thunder]

its an estimate

[karmic crest]

Waitlisted AHHH

[still hare]

i think it depends a lot of ur schools context too (and how much grade inflation there is)

like any Bs aat my school is bad cause we have so much grade inflation

[lethal pelican]

HELP maybe there’s hope yall

[humble pond]

Grades are super school specific

[lethal pelican]

like help

[pastel wharf]

with what

[humble pond]

Also prob depends on where the B’s are (like if they are in your primary academic interest or smth)

[lethal pelican]

like help me not be delulu

[pastel wharf]

whats thajt

[rigid verge]

how does waitlist even work if its not ranked

[deft knoll]

does nu prioritize illinois residents or does state not matter

[vivid garden]

It’s usually regional and by things like major and demographics

[still hare]

doesn't matter

[humble pond]

They reevaluate entirely

[vague quartz]

i dont think it matters since its private

[rigid verge]

i want to go here so bad

[still hare]

more in state people apply, but you can see that with all schools

[humble pond]

Yeah I think only public’s really care local nonlocal

I still haven’t opened my decision send luck

[rigid verge]

pretty low amount of people got waitlisted in this server

[still hare]

um u can write a LOCI i think right?

[rigid verge]

yes i am going to LOL

[smoky fiber]

if waitlist isnt ranked do LOCIs help

[rigid verge]

also going to talk to my interviewer

[still hare]

yes

[rigid verge]

my friend got in off waitlist last year

[smoky fiber]

whens the optimal time to send one in

[lethal pelican]

pray for me for tomorrow guys 💀 i’m keeping all of yall in my prayers

[humble pond]

Yes

[humble pond]

Idt it matters. Before the deadline lol

[smoky fiber]

okay thanks guys :D

[rigid verge]

huzzah i will star now

[quasi verge]

i got in

[alpine lion]

🥳 🥳

[graceful swallow]

does anyone know of a northwestern admitted discord server ?

[kindred cape]

Ive gotten in UVA UCLA Berk and NU for econ and i have no idea what to do

[humble pond]

Omg congrats!!!!!

[grizzled kettle]

Crazy problem to have

[sturdy atlas]

Go to Kellogg

[kindred cape]

Thats for graduates?

[humble pond]

Damn! Good problem to have haha

[sturdy atlas]

Mb I thought they had undergrad programs

[rich hawk]

rejected from nw goodbye illinois time to do ldr for 4 years 🥲

[kindred cape]

I think NU is the best for econ and post grad opportunities but UCLA would be so fun

[graceful swallow]

me except cmu, columbia, or northwestern

[kindred cape]

what major

[graceful swallow]

chemical engineering

[humble pond]

I feel like NU is probably the right choice but def up to you

How’s the financials for UCLA and NU?

[kindred cape]

37k vs 89k

[graceful swallow]

jesus

[still hare]

oh shit r u in state?

[graceful swallow]

you got zero aid at NU??

[kindred cape]

Ye

[still hare]

i feel like an uc is an obv option

[humble pond]

Yeah

[kindred cape]

Yea my SRA was around 100k so we just missed aid

[still hare]

did u get scholly at berk? (since you already know ur decision)

[humble pond]

If you got no aid UC def better I think

[kindred cape]

No just early

[barren nimbus]

Would agree

[still hare]

oh i thought berk early meant like scholarship finalist or smth?

[kindred cape]

I think more than 50% of early got regents finalist, but not all

[gleaming turtle]

rejected

🤪

damn

[humble pond]

I literally can’t check my results until like 5:30 p today the suspense might kill me even though ik I’m getting rejected 💀

[gleaming turtle]

this year hard ahh

[still hare]

oh if u really want NU go argue with them

[humble pond]

True!

[kindred cape]

Yea before turning down I would, but low chance

[still hare]

private schools r rich and stingy, if u argue with their FA office i bet u can get something. prolly not down to 37k but at least something

[kindred cape]

Also like am I going to be depressed in Evanston? Ive heard some bad things about seasonal depression and academics being crazy hard

[still hare]

someone in a stanford gc argued like 5k aid to 10s of thousands somehow

[gleaming turtle]

i heard nu has great environment

[kindred cape]

Cool sports too

[rough mist]

evanston is a nice city and theres plenty to do but seasonal depression you will find anywhere that has a sizable winter

[sinful geyser]

Congrats nu admits!!

[kindred cape]

Ive been to evanston and I found it to be a little small and suburby

[still hare]

yea i mean i liked that vibe

[kindred cape]

Not really a traditional college town but it was beautifulk

[rough mist]

well it is a suburb but you are still connected to chicago via the L

and the lakefront is rly pretty

[still hare]

northwestern is like tucked away but also close to city so i kinda loved it

[kindred cape]

I loved chicago and took the davis L to downtown, only issue was it was 50 minutes

[rough mist]

they are doing construction rn its slow asf bc they got 110 year old tracks 💀

[acoustic osprey]

Bruh you got into MET!!!!

[kindred cape]

Just trying to weigh the outcomes and network of NU to the better social life and price of LA. SO hard to imagine yourself in 10 years

[split laurel]

Bruh ur confirmed harvard

[last helm]

why do i keep getting waitlisted

[still hare]

tbh idt think network of NU is that much better than UCLA

[brisk cedar]

what are the chances of getting in from the waitlist at northwestern

[kindred cape]

2% last year about

[brisk cedar]

its joever

[lean thistle]

I still haven’t checked

I just got home from my first tennis match (easy win)

[sage raptor]

🙏 whats ur major btw

since u got that mit wl uve been cooking fr

[sage raptor]

well they accept in the past years 0-100

so the chances of getting wl -> accepted is lower then nu rd

[brisk cedar]

oh

[sage raptor]

nu rd is 5.6%

so assume lower

[brisk cedar]

ah ok

this is my tenth waitlist im losing my mind

[sage raptor]

damn thats still good

[gleaming turtle]

[solar mural]

[peak abyss]

[solar mural]

[peak abyss]

Ah okay okay NU is for me

[solar mural]

They gave me a fee waiver, and they took me in w/practically free tuition and more post finaid 😭

[half oyster]

idk man i don't really know how to feel. happy for you though

[solar mural]

well you dont know until you see a decision letter

[half oyster]

nah bro i'm so done with this

[split laurel]

waitlisted

[lapis glen]

😦

time to check

now that kvd has checked

[deft talon]

it’s disheartening fs and very easy to give up hope but the main thing to remeber is it only takes one

you could get rejected from every school and end up in your dream

[half oyster]

i dont know. my results have been so mid

i guess there's nothing left to do but wait

[gleaming turtle]

me after getting rejected from every dream and now theres only ivys left

💀

[deft talon]

same but if you got a colleges niche you can get in

[last helm]

i’ve been waitlisted literally everywhere except rice so far

guess i’m going there unless ivys clutch up

[deft talon]

so while i’ve gotten rejected/wl from every t30 so far i know there’s still a chance to clutch up tommrow

esp if we both got deferred from yale, that means we have a shot there atleast

[thorny forge]

are you premed

[half oyster]

i did not get deferred from yale, my twin did 😭

[last helm]

nah engineering

[half oyster]

i do hope results go well for you though!!!

[tender onyx]

Quality over quantity

[rigid verge]

i cant even relay to them how important northwestern is to me

[analog thunder]

@long knot howd it go bro

I think one slay letter though would be better than many since the AOs will have a lot of stuff to read from other students. Although I’m not sure. Do what you feel like honestly. I wish you luckkkk!!

[abstract plover]

I have added another to the waitlist streak

[pastel berry]

9 non-acceptances in a row now

Has to turn around tomorrow

Has to

[long knot]

mid

my last acceptance was 11 days ago

everything after has been rejection/wl

[pastel berry]

im on the same boat 🫂

[long knot]

😔

[pastel berry]

but if i'm seeing so many Ws

[long knot]

crossing my fingers for tomorrow

[pastel berry]

there has to be an A lurking somewhere

[long knot]

fr

i just hope i get berkeley and cornell tmrw

[pastel berry]

i just hope I get into yale or brown

[long knot]

oooo

gl

i literally put my heart and soul into cornell essays

😭

please

[pastel berry]

and any other school tomorrow would be fine too

[long knot]

tbh same lol

[pastel berry]

gl!

[long knot]

thankss

[pastel berry]

for me it was brown

[long knot]

i just said i want berk and cornell cuz i have the best shot at those 2

[pastel berry]

aha

[long knot]

ngl i kinda rushed brown essays but if i get in good for me

[pastel berry]

i think i have a decent shot at brown cuz brown supps were my best supps

we'll see tho

[long knot]

yeah

22 hours left

[pastel berry]

feels so surreal

this literally feels like judgement day or smth even if i know it isnt't lol

[long knot]

yeah

this is the climax of my entire life so far

no kidding

[pastel berry]

aha

for me i wouldn't say climax but one of if not the most anticipated moment

[long knot]

lol

crossing my fingers rn

1 hour praying session incoming tonight

[pastel berry]

crossing my fingers toes and legs rn

[pastel berry]

i'm an atheist so 1 hour of talking to my alter ego session coming tonight lol

[long knot]

LMAO

[pastel berry]

it's always the fine margins that get me

i wrote one of my nu supps in 30 min

i wonder if i spent another 30 min on that

[long knot]

ngl i wasn't happy w one of my NU supps

it was kind of a hit or miss topic

[pastel berry]

would i have tipped the scales

[long knot]

i dont think so ngl

[pastel berry]

i had 3-4 hit or miss supps

[long knot]

spending more time doesn't mean its better

[analog thunder]

😥🫂

[long knot]

its not like sitting at my desk for 30 minutes longer makes me smarter

[long knot]

ig i wont be going to evanston 😔

[pastel berry]

yeah but it just felt a bit raw

so idrk

i'll just wait until tmrw

[long knot]

that makes sense ngl

i dont think i reused any of my nw essays for other schools

so hopefully i get something

[pastel berry]

more unis should be by the lake

[analog thunder]

best of luck for tmw🫡

[long knot]

tyty

im not super stressed

[long knot]

frrr

not even the lake

more unis should be in the nice neighborhoods like nw and stanford

[analog thunder]

looking at u uchicago

and jhu

[long knot]

and usc

👀

[pastel berry]

and washu

[long knot]

and like eveyr other school

[pastel berry]

brown is in a pretty unproblematic place tho

quite nice too ngl

[analog thunder]

thats not how it used to be

[pastel berry]

idrk but rn i don't think college hill is unsafe

[analog thunder]

yea now its good i think, but my dad told me that when he went there it was a pretty rough area

(this was like 30 years ago)

[pastel berry]

i see

[frank crag]

what schools would you guys take over northwestern

[soft monolith]

Anyone here get deferred than accepted

[manic perch]

I GOT ACCEPTED with need fully met

[small gust]

rejected 🫡

[ripe patio]

how low do my grades have to be for nu to rescind me

[alpine lion]

noooo 😔

[small gust]

good luck 😭 😭

[alpine lion]

uiuc

[wooden swan]

aw man i didnt get in

guess this was a big old waste of time

[fast warren]

can i ask what u find so attractive about the school, i got in for cs but having trouble choosing it over other schools cuz of the location

[noble fossil]

Waitlisted at northwestern but I already got jhu

So not too bad

[stuck palm]

amen

[alpine lion]

yeahh I agree that the location is what I dislike most about uiuc, but it's difficult for me to say no to the in-state tuition + one of the best computer science programs in the world

If you're not in-state or you can get aid at a private school, I would also strongly consider those options

[atomic rivet]

rej too

[noble fossil]

yield protected fr

[fast warren]

ooo instate makes sense, im oos so its between georgia tech and uiuc rn

[alpine lion]

You honestly can't go wrong with either option

[glacial sapphire]

Tf how is that possible

[small gust]

the campus is GORGEOUS btw

[small gust]

lol wdym

they're literally a t10 school lol

[glacial sapphire]

No but like

Nvm

I feel like NU was a pre show for the train wreck that's gonna be ivy day

I'm just not gonna stay up idc

[small gust]

fr

[pastel berry]

Why stay up, sleep super early and wake up super early

[glacial sapphire]

The only reason I'm waking up at 4:30 is if a person has d*ed

[pastel berry]

I see

[shut nova]

You got in NU right?

[small gust]

no LOL

[shut nova]

Oh

Mb

I thought you did

But who cares

[small gust]

exactly

[shut nova]

You pulled UCB and UCLA

[small gust]

(i do)

[fathom storm]

Wait yall do I need to activate the netid now even tho i’m not like formally making a decision yet 😭

[soft cloud]

I don’t think so

I’m not sure tho

[fathom storm]

because it said this

Immediately ig but i don’t want it to lock me where i gotta pay and issues happen hahaha 😭

[soft cloud]

O

I was thinking maybe if u want to immediately like commit to northwestern u have to set up ur id

Tbh idk

If yk lmk too bc I am also not sure abt what decision to make

[pastel berry]

My favourite Jedi is Mace Windu, he has a purple light saber and NU still waitlisted me

[dense orbit]

NU doesn't ask for a 300 word waitlist reply form?

didn't see one when i accepted their waitlist offer

i guess i will have to write a loci then

[deft talon]

NU waitlist is the highlight of my app

[peak abyss]

Ws

[peak abyss]

No you don’t

You have a bit

[frank crag]

is there an admit chat or discord or anything

[brave frigate]

How hard is it to get off their waitlist

[soft cloud]

Usnews article said 2.6% but that was for 2019

[brave frigate]

That’s makes me so sad

[soft cloud]

In 2022, 83 students were admitted according to their data set

They didn’t show how many students were waitlisted tho. That box is blank

Every year though it most likely changes

Keep hope still you never know

[brave frigate]

Okay thank you

[winged dawn]

I got NU waitlist, do i need to write loci?

[soft cloud]

Don’t need to but it’d most likely help if you write a LOCI.

[brave frigate]

doing that rn

[deft talon]

poll!

[winged dawn]

Thanks!

[dull field]

I can't find a co 2028 discord server for NU, so I was thinking of just making one, would anyone join?

[analog thunder]

yes i would

[frank crag]

yeah me2

[soft cloud]

Is there a current northwestern student that I can dm some questions abt the school?

[solar mural]

u were right :D

northwestern bound

[fossil warren]

feel free!

[solar mural]

Anyone participate in the Air Force rotc program at NU? Or know of someone?

[dim epoch]

[small gust]

[analog thunder]

[solar mural]

Air Force rotc crosstown agreement with host uchicago

[analog thunder]

ah ok

thats a bit annoying tho

id lowk be interested if it was at NU

[soft cloud]

Does anyone know abt when northwestern will send their acceptance packages and what they typically send?

[fathom storm]

idk but check ur mailbox babes

[dull field]

They sent mine 3-4 ish weeks after my acceptance (I live in the us south), its a bunch of boring papers with nothing intresting

[soft cloud]

Ah dang rip

[dense kiln]

Someone made one

[dull field]

Do you have a link?

[fathom storm]

wait rlly?

drop the linkkkk 😭😭

i wanna make nu2028 friends 😭😭

[hot grail]

guys

is northwestern qatar the same as northwestern usa education wide

[latent totem]

yeah i guess so

but the qatar campus just has communication, media and journalism-related majors

personally i didn't apply but tbh i could have done so. they have some weird half loan + grant based financial aid unlike georgetown apparently (not sure though)

[soft cloud]

is there a northwestern applied math student here that I can ask some questions mayhaps?

[wooden swan]

could be if they didnt decide to reject me

[velvet pine]

btw side note i met fernando alonso one time

part of some cognizant event

[wooden swan]

woahh fr?

well it sure was a nice time meeting you

[velvet pine]

yeah i think thats gotta be like the most famous person ive ever met

[ripe patio]

does anyone know if theres an ap credit transfer limit at northwestern

[naive escarp]

💜

[peak abyss]

did u make one

I saw one but the link didn’t work

if anyone has the link drop it!

[soft cloud]

I’ll dm it to you

[ripe patio]

could you also send it to me

[naive escarp]

could i have the link as well ‼️

[solar mural]

plss

also is there an ig gc?

[ruby ore]

me too plz

also has anyone received their finalized financial aid package yet?

[dull field]

I got mine on Friday, I had submitted my css last week

[frank crag]

+1

if anyone knows

[ruby ore]

wait so do they only give your financial aid package based on the css?

thought they’d finalize it after receiving our fafsa

[dull field]

They sent me my finaid package after I submitted the css, I submitted the fafsa too, but it needed corrections which just opened up, so I will see if changes occur

[dense orbit]

any waitlisted applicants here? did you receive a waitlist re-confirmation email today?

[merry knoll]

Yep

[soft cloud]

Northwestern is in fact epic

[alpine lion]

wasn't expecting the dining hall food to be so good 🔥

[frank crag]

Idk where you were

But the north campus chicken tendies were bussin

[solar mural]

you all had a better dining experience than I did 😭

i remember thinking it was kinda mid

[alpine lion]

allison I think

[frank crag]

Ah I was at sargent

[fathom storm]

chicken tenders??

i had like curly fries and a slab of chicken breast 💀💀💀

[frank crag]

LOL

glad to see NU has a nice variety of food choices

[sleek tulip]

Anyone got a nu 2028 discord link they can send 😭

[peak abyss]

oh I can’t send links

dmed

[kindred cape]

Can you send to me? Thanks.

[rustic stump]

did anyone get off the waitlist?

[pastel berry]

Someone on CC got off

[merry knoll]

Whats CC?

[dense orbit]

collegeconfidential

[winged dawn]

🙏Pray, really want to be off the waitlist!

[winged dawn]

Network or system problem, i just realized the loci i submitted 12 days before didn't uploaded at all. Uploaded again today, hope not too late.

[brisk cedar]

will waitlist offers start on May 2 directly? or later in the month

[rustic stump]

im not too sure...

i really hope its soon though

[wanton geyser]

Is there a way to get an enrollment deposit deadline extension through the portal or do I need to email or something

[dim epoch]

Gotta email them bud

The (extended) deadline is May 3 end of day

[winged dawn]

Up

[pastel berry]

Waitlist started moving!!!

[unkempt depot]

For northwestern?

Which college

[pastel berry]

Weinberg and Bienen

Someone from new england got into weinberg for stats i believe

[winged dawn]

Pray!

[fathom pasture]

anyone know anyone who has gotten off the northwestern waitlist for engineering?

[naive escarp]

this is such a university

are dorm choices due May 31?

[sharp swan]

hey, sorry to be another person asking you for it but could you send me the discord server too? thanks!
