Does anyone know when Northwestern usually releases their regular decision results? I’m really anxious about getting the news and planning out my next steps depending on the outcome.
Northwestern University typically releases their regular decision results in late March, but they do not specify an exact date. It varies each year based on factors such as the number of applications they receive.
While waiting, it's normal to feel anxious, but try to occupy yourself with activities that take your mind off it. Remember that the decision does not reflect your worth or potential. Every college journey is unique and sometimes a plan B can turn out to be just as good, if not better, than plan A.
At this point, there's little you can do to influence the outcome, so try to stay positive and focus on the things you can control. While waiting for your decision, it would also be a good time to research about your other selected universities or options and make a comparative analysis, so that you'd be better prepared to make a decision when the time comes. Good luck and I hope you hear good news from Northwestern!
