Northwestern University late deadline

[mostlyharmless]

Hey,

 

I'm having some trouble understanding Northwestern's application process. Every other school I've applied to has has a deadline in December, February, or maybe early March, but Northwestern's isn't until May 1. This stinks, because I have to let the other schools know my decision for them before then. Am I reading the deadline right? Anybody else experienced this?

Just in case somebody else runs into this I emailed them and they told me that they start reviewing applications as soon as they are submitted. I guess if you apply early enough you can know their decision by April 15. Probably too late for me but maybe somebody else can use this.
