kashue -- no change on the status page.
ex-mike -- Mold-a-ramas are awesome! They're these machines where you pay $1 and the machine makes a molded plastic toy in front of your eyes. Very 1960s. There's a zoo here in the Chicago area that has 10 different options. I am the proud owner of a plastic penguin, polar bear, dolphin, and wombat. My husband and I both like kitschy toys...
mmz -- sorry for the false hopes. My guess is that there won't be a ton more news for a day or two until the mail comes.

ok, I just called the school and asked how they were notifying applicants if they were accepted, and they said that everyone would receive a letter. Hmmm. If some people might find out of their acceptance by mail, I wonder why they would call some and not others. For those who found it in November, did you have a phone call?

nike-
majority of ppl that found out in november found out by mail.. with a few ppl finding out my phone. no one knows why some lucky few get the phone call- prolly cuz northwestern wants them more badly than the rest of the acceptances?
anyway... guess we wait till next week for the final decision letters to arrive.

I'm gonna be the weird Californian here (Technically I'm not a resident though I've been here for 7 years). I really wanna move to Chicago or New York next year to get a more urban city experience. Columbia is a long shot for everyone, but Northwestern accepts half of the interviewees, so I hope I'll get in!
P.S. Be careful about mistaking them for a telemarketer like I almost did. Initially, Brown sounded like she was trying to sell me something and I almost said, "sorry, I'm not interested but thank you..." Thank god I had the patience to wait the extra 2 seconds to realize it wasn't a telemarketer!

No offense intended at all Kashue, but bumping w/o having news yourself is just plain cruel 🙂
I think that this end of the process is going to make me OCD.

from what i make of last year's posts, second round acceptances come in big white envelopes. don't know if that'll be the case this year though.
good luck everyone!!!👍 🙂 👍

My acceptance envelope from last year said it was from the department of financial aid. It was either white or manila, but it was definitely 8.5x11, not a skinny one.
Confirming that the letters were sent...
How? Letter recieved.
I hate to put a bad luck vibe on the thread by being the first to give the results in this way... but anyways,
Rejection.

Aww man, that really sucks. I'm sorry to hear about that. For me, a post-interview rejection hurts so much more than a pre-interview rejection (the former happened to me once so far). 🙁 Well, I hope you've gotten into other schools. Did you apply to other schools in the Chicago area too?
Yeah, I did. I have an option to stay in Chicago, which I don't know if I will take.
But... here's what really rubs me the wrong way. I interviewed in October. The coordinator literally told us "Relax. You all represent some of our most qualified applicants." Then she went on to explain that 600ish were interviewed, 300 accepted, 170 matriculate. Of the 300 unlucky souls, 230 waitlisted (with relatively little movement) and 70 were rejected.
Made me feel pretty good that day... not so good today.

Hey all- I'm looking at the bottom of the thread and I feel bad for monopolizing it. I don't want to dampen what I hope will be a very happy relavation for most of you.
Thanks everyone for the sentiments. Nontheless, I will respectfully fade from this thread because I want it to be a lot more CONGRATS and less sorry. 🙂 Cheers.

I'm from MI and I'm on campus so I can't check my mail for a while. Anyone get a letter yet today?
Thanks! It came in a 1/2 size manilla envelope, somewhat thick. It was postmarked Feb. 25. I live in a small town in Ohio.
MDT--
I didn't receive any information about second look weekend, but there was a page giving instructions on how to download the financial aid application.
Again, best of luck to everyone, this whole waiting process is grueling!
