Nice. I guess I've been passed over; I'm kinda jelly.
 
Yeah I think it would have been more appropriate for it to be a newsletter for like accepted students where they can sell the school, etc.
 
Anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file? Not a lot of information out there on the whole interview day and I really really want to nail this one.

the faculty interviews are open file and the panel interview with a student is closed
 
Is anyone else having trouble logging in to the portal?
 
It didn't work on either, actually. I finally got in on Safari.

I have found that regardless of browser, if I open the portal in an incognito window I can log in just fine.
 
Congrats to all those who have been accepted!!!! How long after your interviews did you hear back?
 
For those who have interviewed how many interviewees were there per day? And also how many dates available to anyone who recently got an II? I'm dying waiting from northwestern, hopefully it's not a silent rejection
 
Just got deferred to March. Interviewed last Friday
 
Deferred. Anyone know what the movement is like for deferred decisions (ratio of accept/waitlist)?

So I remember it being something like 25% accepted before March. The other 75% are accepted then, with the remainder mostly waitlisted with 5-10% rejected at that point.

When'd you interview?
 
Are those percentages out of total number interviewed?
 
Of the 50% accepted (amongst all interviewees), 25 now 75 later, rest waitlisted save for a small fraction of rejections.

That stat of 75% of acceptances coming through deferrals seems pretty accurate. Myself and a lot of my classmates were deferred until March. Congrats to all of those who have already been accepted! It's awesome to have an option at such an incredible place like Northwestern so early.

Stupid question but what do you mean by dererred?
 
When do you think the next wave of decisions will be?

Hey is the Northwestern interview blind? Like will they know what activities I was involved in, or will the interview be conducted independent of that?

The student interview is blind, but the faculty interviews are open file.

northwestern interviews (according to msar) ~738 people. So if 50% of interviewees are accepted, does that mean ~369 people are accepted? isn't that a really high number of accepted people cause only 163 are in the total class, so is it less than 50% that are accepted? thanks

Well, you're not taking into account the fact that many who are accepted at a given school end up going to a different one. In fact, the yield of 163/369 = 44% would actually not be that bad. I can't speak to the veracity of the numbers quoted above, but they are at least realistic at face value.
