SLPtoBEweee Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Anyone else in here apply to Northwestern? I noticed in the Results that last year it looks like they had an open house. Anyone know if they are doing that again this year?
513love Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I applied to NW, but I didn't know anything about an open house.. perhaps admitted applicants will be invited?
TalkItOut_9 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) I am an undergrad at Northwestern and I haven't heard anything about a possible open house this year. I'm not sure how effective it was last year. I heard through the grapevine that there are roughly 370 applicants to the SLL program this year. I'm not sure if that's the total number or if they've narrowed it down in any way. Edited February 17, 2013 by TalkItOut_9

I'm not sure if that's the total number or if they've narrowed it down in any way. TalkItOut - that makes sense. Thanks for the info!! I know it's going to be super competitive, I really hope I get in! They usually let in how many? 50 or 60 at first?! I see you also applied to UT Austin - I did too! That's where I went to undergrad. I can't wait to hear from both of those schools! Good luck to you
Tuck Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Yeah, I've been on edge about this open house invitation. I'm starting to think they aren't doing it again this year because last year, the invitations came out the first week of February for an open house the first week of March. They can't push the open house back much further without it being after decisions rather than before, and they can't realistically expect to give people two weeks' notice to travel to Chicago. I'd guess they either aren't doing it at all this year, or are doing it after decisions go out like Vandy does.
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to hear from Northwestern! I keep checking every day........ no updates! So anxious to hear on this one!!!
Tuck Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Me too! All my other schools said decisions would be ready mid-march, but NW said late February/early March, which is NOW! Hopefully they won't be as late as they were last year.
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 I know! I'm like OK......late feb has passed! early march is like by next Friday right?!?!
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Still driving myself insane over this .......! I'm assuming no one has heard anything else?!
Tuck Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Nothing here. I just checked both the GATS page and my ApplyYourself account. I wish I knew how they define "early March"! I'm hoping to hear something this week.
513love Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Nothing from this end either. I tried calling today to find out when we'd hear something but it went to voicemail
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Nothing from this end either. I tried calling today to find out when we'd hear something but it went to voicemail Boo! If you find anything out, let us know!!! I guess last year they notified March 14th-ish it looks like for the first round, so I guess it could be a couple weeks.... Thanks for the info! I am HOPING, like you tuckerma, that we will hear this week!
513love Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Ok I just got off the phone with someone at NW. She sounded semi-annoyed that I called asking about decisions (whoops). but she said she doesn't really know when they'll be sent out exactly. she said maybe next week, maybe longer than that... not very helpful, but at least it's something! Tuck and SLPtoBEweee 2
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for calling! That sucks she sounded annoyed - don't they know we are losing our minds? And, yes, at least it's something!!! I will stop obsessing over it for now and wait till next week to think about it!
513love Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Haha no problem! Glad I could put your mind at ease (for this week at least) SLPtoBEweee 1
513love Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Still nothing from northwestern... I'm more impatient than usual today lol
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I have been too! I want to check the website like 300000 times but I think I will just wait till I see on here that someone else has heard.
deleria Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Still nothing from northwestern... I'm more impatient than usual today lol Me too... Tomorrow is going to be even worse, since it looks like they notified on the 14th last year!!! I don't know why it's gluing me to the computer so badly - I mostly applied to Northwestern "just to see" and I definitely don't have the stats to have a shot at any kind of funding that would allow me to afford it. But I only have to hear back from two more out of nine total schools! Decision time is getting scarily close...!

But I only have to hear back from two more out of nine total schools! Decision time is getting scarily close...! I totally agree! I am really holding out hope for funding at Northwestern..... I don't know if I'm being totally unrealistic though!!! I am also waiting on my last two schools! One is for sure sending decisions NEXT week, so this week I am obsessing over Northwestern!!!

miscarthur Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I really thought we'd have decisions today. I've been right about my "hunches" with all of the other schools!
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I really thought we'd have decisions today. I've been right about my "hunches" with all of the other schools! I was thinking today or tomorrow too! Let's hope maybe they will come in the next 30 minutes! Or tomorrow.... It's only 4:30 in Evanston right now!
TalkItOut_9 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I'm almost sure it'll be next week. But what do I know...
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 I'm almost sure it'll be next week. But what do I know... Haha! You know better than me because you're there! Next week would be fine. I am just ready to know from ALL of my schools! Are you thinking you want to stick around at Northwestern if you get in or are you looking for something new?! You have some amazing choices it sounds like!!
SLPtoBEweee Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Sitting at home recovering from surgery for my spring break..... how fun. Northwestern could make it go a little better if they would let me in!!!! At least it's Friday - and a gorgeous day where I am! Time for a little fresh air.... g1slp 1
