For those who attended last week's town hall/have an upcoming town hall registration, how far in advance are you supposed to receive a link for it? I can't find anything right now

When can we expect the first wave of acceptances? Also, has anyone else noticed the “admissions” tab on their portal? I've heard from a few people who saw it appear after their interviews.

I think December 1st, and I’m pretty sure that admissions tab was always there, even before interview

Can confirm it has been there from the beginning (no II, but I have it)

Does anyone know if there is a pattern to when they release interview invites? (For example, only on Mondays or something)
 
Apparently so on December 1st
I know last year it was December 1st, but if I remember right in my interview day I think they just said early December. Maybe someone from other interview days can confirm a more exact date/updated info?

+1, can confirm we were also told early Dec without a specific date.
 
it’s been 11/30 or 12/01 the last few years, so fingers crossed for some news this week
 
They told me early December I am just betting my money on December 1st because it has historically been one of the dates and it's a Friday
 
Does Northwestern accept Letter of interest/intent pre II?? I don't have much to update since I am doing research so it has been pretty stagnant working towards a pub, but other than that nothing else. I want to show interest because it is my top choice!

Doesn't hurt to send one, maybe you can send an update with extra hours or talk about anything you're working towards, while indicating that FSM is your top choice afterwards. I sent one Pre-II and then got an interview (but not sure if they are correlated).

Was your update research-based?

how soon after the letter did you get an II?

I think they really like their LOIs if I recall so do it for sure!

I think there's no reason not to do it at this point in the cycle. I know it might seem "annoying" or "unnecessary just be patient" from the POV of the admissions officer, but I think if you keep it a brief 3 paragraphs and have some semi-high value updates its better than sending nothing at all.
 
There should be an admission decision by Friday, 12/1 for early interviewees right?

Not necessarily. They said early December but didn’t specify an exact date. December 1 is just people speculating (unless they provided new info at later interview dates). Most early interviewees will also be deferred and only a small amount of acceptances are released this batch.

It looks like previous cycles have always been either Nov 30th or Dec 1st for the first round of decisions, so while Friday is not a guarantee, it feels like a pretty safe bet.
