Congratulations!!!accepted!!
Placed on the alternate list. Not really sure what this means but it seems like a high priority wait list. Does anyone know if this existed in previous years and what kind of movement there was for alternate candidates?
Same boat, but what makes you say high priority?
Oh maybe it is pretty standard, I guess I was just trying to figure out why I wasn't put on the waitlist with the wave last week. Trying to rationalize an irrational process hahah+1, not sure if mine is high priority though? My email seems pretty standard but idk

Does anyone else admitted in March still have no financial aid information available?

Yes, I am!
Contemplating calling the office, but feel like I would be bothering them. Do you think there is a chance that we may not get it until after April 30?same..

if we have decided on northwestern, do we need to pay a deposit or anything special by 4/30? or do we only need to withdraw our acceptances from other schools?
I will call them today or tomorrow,
If both of us call, maybe it will put some pressure on them to get it done faster
This is a good question. The financial aid office said that awards would be released on a rolling basis beginning on March 15, as long as we submit the Northwestern-specific financial aid application by March 1 and create a CAESAR account. I wonder what is causing the delay and will call tomorrow.Contemplating calling the office, but feel like I would be bothering them.

I feel bad, but it's so close to April 30... and we don't know if the delay is system-wide or applicant-specific
Thanks for passing that along!I called yesterday and they said to expect something within the next few days. For perspective, I submitted my financial documents about 1.5 weeks ago. So, they are working pretty fast but they just have so many apps to get through :/
Thanks for passing that along!
I actually submitted my documents in February, so I bet that they are releasing financial aid information in one batch.
Oh, congrats!!! The wait is on.I actually got my email today!
anyone know when waitlist movement starts?
Congrats TossMania- Is it Merit or need based? If need based what was your EFC and if Merit what were your stats.Hey everyone I'm getting a lot of PM's about checking the NW email address. The most common error everyone is making is trying to go through gmail. That's only for NW undergrads. Everyone else uses the Outlook client, I believe NW calls it "Collaborate."

Hi really sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I am applying here in the 2017-2018 cycle and I was hoping to get some advice from those who have already applied.
I just had a question regarding their LOR policy. They say on their website:
...they may come from three faculty members, at least two of whom are science faculty members, who have taught you.
So the way I interpreted that was that all three should come from faculty who have taught you. However, I called them and they said I can substitute one of those for a letter from my research PI, but the lady didn't sound too sure. So does anyone know if sending 2 letters from science faculty members who taught me + 1 letter from my PI would be okay? I feel like my letter from my PI is my strongest so I would like to send it, but I also don't want them to throw my app in the trash automatically because I couldn't follow instructions.
Two things I can think of right away: why group/team learning is the right style for you, and highlighting how scholarly project component appeals to you." describe your personal characteristics and learning style would fit the institution"
what should i be talking about here? that i like hands-on learning and what else? I'm stuck! thank you
