Anybody else out there complete for like 2 months at NW without any word? For people currently getting interviews-how long were you complete? Anybody getting rejections?

I'm in the exact same boat. Try not to go too crazy! 😱

You might want to try and make sure that you still have access to their secondary website. Mine was shut down about 2 weeks ago. I heard that probably means that I'm getting a nice little rejection letter. Fools. 😀

 

[Stendek]

Still have access...oh well.

Yeah, I can't access it anymore, either. Still waiting for a letter in the mail, though. 😛

hi, i was complete in early august at northwestern. i called them this past monday to ask them what was going on and the lady said i will be notified when a decision has been made. i got an interview invite that afternoon. maybe it's coincidence, but i would try calling them. 👍

 

[GOBUCKY!]

Been six weeks, and still i have access to the site. Just f-ing reject me already, so I won't be OC in checking the site everyday. UChicago got back to me in two weeks. What the hell? THere goes the conspiracy that UChicago and Northwestern are working together.

BUCK! BUCK!

complete 10/13, interview invite 11/1. it must be kinda random...

I called and asked if my application had been put on hold and the lady told me that the order they review applications is not necessarily the order that they receive them. Therefore, my application hadn't even been reviewed yet. (Her exact words) I felt like that was bulls***. That kind of this can hurt you at a rolling school like NU.

I was complete on 8/31 by the way.

i dont think northwestern is rolling. they have 2 dates where they send out acceptances.

 

[BigRedPingpong]

I didin't get an interview until feb '04 and didn't get accepted until june '04 off the WL...gotta chill...all part of the process.

I can't access my secondary any more either.

I called today, and the a lady told me, "a decision has been made, and a letter was mailed out at the end of October." Perhaps she felt too bad to just inform me of my rejection. 🙄

I have yet to receive the letter.

SO, I'm thinking I'll be getting a rejection letter some time next week.

Don't they have nicer ways to reject than to just destroy your access to their system?

Out of curiosity, those of you who have interview invites at NW, can you access your secondary online? Does being cut from the system mean you're dead weight?

 

[Scubadoc]

they're using my application for toilet paper. i lost my access to their website and got the rejection in the mail shortly thereafter. wham bam no thank you m'am.

that is so lame--like they don't expect you to figure out what their "decision" is based on the fact that you never had an interview?

i still have access online, but now it's to a page that says "we look forward to seeing you..." and has interview links. the secondary is gone--good thing i printed it.

I was complete for slightly over 2 months before I received an interview invite.

Thanks. . .

I figured that'd be the case.

JEEZ, couldn't the lady just tell me I was rejected! "Look, you peon, you can't access your secondary any more because we threw your incompetent ass out."
