Can anyone provide clarity on the Northwestern University regular decision timeline? I want to make sure I'm prepared for all the key dates and deadlines during this application season. Any insight into when decisions are generally released would be great too!
Hi there! Northwestern University’s regular decision application deadline is typically on January 2nd. This deadline can change slightly from year to year, so it's always a good idea to verify it on the university's admissions website. Once you've submitted your application, you'll likely have to wait until late March for the admissions decision. Normally, Northwestern releases its regular decision results the last week of March.
Keep in mind, though, that timelines can shift slightly depending on the volume of applications or any unforeseen circumstances. Nonetheless, the end-of-March timeframe is a good estimate to go by for Northwestern's regular decision outcomes.
Remember to submit all the necessary supporting materials, such as your high school transcript and letters of recommendation, as well as any optional extras you've decided to include, before the regular decision deadline. Best of luck with your application!
