StarkDark1 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I see that 4 or 5 people have already got acceptances.... some of them on Friday of last week. Seems a bit early compared to previous years. Starting to feel nervous. :/ Congrats to those who were accepted though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My portal hasn't changed but congratulations to those who got the admissions! Most of the acceptances so far seem to be International applicants. Maybe Northwestern sends those out first, then US citizens. Also I was looking at previous years, and it looks like they usually send acceptances within a week-long period. My guess is that they'll send another wave of acceptances tomorrow, Friday, or early next week! If I don't hear word by next Wednesday, I'm just going to assume I didn't get in....

There are about nine pages of discussion regarding acceptances and what schools are posting when. sloth_girl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixedmethodsisa4letterword Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Do not panic. One of the admits reported 148/154 GRE scores...highly likely to be troll work. There is other evidence too. Plus it is unlikely that no one has yet claimed those acceptances.

uchenyy Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 For what it's worth, a current graduate student at Northwestern posted on Twitter last week that admitted students are visiting this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think rejections would be out before the admit visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwar Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, Romcomulus said: ooof, that's kind of crappy. You'd think rejections would be out before the admit visit Na, alot of schools won't actually reject most people until they have a committed class. They'll keep people on an "unoffical" wait list until they get enough commitments and then reject everyone who they haven't told. This happens pretty often with schools that fall into this weird sweet spot that Northwestern does. Its high enough where it has alot of applicants and can pick the cream of the crop, but at the same time it knows that it is often used as a "safety" or "backup" for CHYMPS applicants. So it'll try and protect its yield by not rejecting qualified applicants until they have a committed class. It makes sense if you think about it from the schools POV, but it sucks for applicants.

The Political Science Department at Northwestern is, in my experience, very unresponsive to potential students. I've also heard this about another department in the CLAS.

Dwar Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just wanted to share this Northwestern Stats page with ya'll. It shows that in 2019 they received 318 applications and admitted 27 students for an acceptance rate of 10%. From that year they had a yield of 45% with 11 students accepting their offer. This isn't meant to discourage anyone, just provide more info into the northwestern application/admissions process.
