Wonder if it's because I'm an international applicant and I refused to send in my TOEFL scores.. ? I am being just curious: why?

BrownSugar Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just so you are aware, I contacted Cornell and they said decisions would come first week of March.

Yeah. My partner started a PhD in English literature recently, and she had to take TOEFL to prove competency in English, just because she is an international student. ?

gbheron Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Time to assume a Northwestern rejection? I know in past years they sometimes stagger the acceptances, but it doesn't seem like there's much to hope for there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivy25 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 For all Northwestern folk: Firstly, congrats to everyone who got accepted. They received around 600 applications this year and are accepting around 2-3% of them. I just called the Political Science department to get an update. Secondly, I don't know if there is a lot of hope, but they did say that decisions are sent out on a rolling basis and they're hoping to wrap up the process within the next 3 days or so. I don't know if any more acceptances are coming, but we should hopefully officially know soon if we are rejected or not. If we do count 2% of 600, that is 12 acceptances. We have seen around 5-6 on here so far, and maybe there's a few others who don't report it on gradcafe. There might be a slim chance that maybe a handful of acceptances come later (I hope). verschiedene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they have to input letters to the system of 500-600 ish applicants for this year. We should have decisions by Friday. Six people have already claimed acceptance on the forums, so honestly, it seems they likely entered acceptance first and for those of us who haven't heard by now, it is more likely a rejection. nivy25 and Crossed_fingers 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most universities waive TOEFL if you have a bachelors or masters in English, don't they? That was the case for me, I didn't send TOEFL to any schools as far as I remember.

Sorry I'm new and you have no reason to believe me, but DGS, Teena, called me about two weeks with my acceptance to the fast-track program.
