Congratulations! When did you submit? I haven't heard anything yet but I'm excited that you got a call so I might hear either way soon!
I submitted on 09/30! I got a call on 10/16 but missed it and it went to voicemail, I called back the next day (yesterday 10/17) and was informed that I was accepted by the assistant chair for admissions, and the official acceptance email came later that afternoon 🙂

Congrats! Thanks, my app was completed on 10/7 so I'm just getting a little anxious. Did they call you, email you or both to let you know of the acceptance?
Both! I received a call from admissions first and an official email later that afternoon!

Oh alright, thanks so much and once again, congrats!
Would you mind sharing your stats? My application was complete 9/13 as well and I'm getting a little nervous!

So I’m getting nervous because my application was submitted in mid September and i haven’t heard anything back yet! Seems like a few people from that same time frame have already been accepted. Still waiting :/
Mine too! Going crazy waiting.
Actually just to update this, I received an email this afternoon with my acceptance! So I think they're just going through the applications a little slowly.
Northwestern doesn't interview so they will just contact you with their decision!
You guys can chill! Northwestern doesn’t do rolling admission meaning they don’t start reviewing unti Oct 1 it’ll take them a while. Don’t stress out we’re all on the same boat!
Congrats!
And do you mind sharing your status?

Update: I was accepted today. Does anyone know how much is the rent around school?
Did anyone know that if I didnt hear anything back from NWU, is that means i will not have any chance now?

Has anyone who applied for scholarships heard back? The email said applicants will be notified of awards by December, just wondering if there's still hope lol
I was wondering the same thing!
Has anyone started a Facebook page for the 2023 class? And does anyone have recommendations for apartments in Chicago? Moving from Kansas City!
Did anyone hear back from northwestern waitlist?
Not yet :/ I just got the email if I still wanted to be considered. Hopefully soon!
I got that email last Wednesday, hopefully we can get in!
When did you receive that email?
Last Tuesday!
