Hi, everyone! I submitted my application to Northwestern and I'm both excited and stressed about it. Can anyone tell me when I can expect to hear back from them about my application decision? Thanks so much!
Hey there! Congrats on applying to Northwestern. The admission decision release dates depend on the application type you used.
If you submitted your application through Early Decision (ED), you should expect to receive your decision around mid-December. If you applied through Regular Decision (RD), decisions are typically released by the end of March. Keep in mind that these time frames may vary slightly each year and are subject to change.
In any case, make sure your email address on file with Northwestern is accurate since that's where they'll likely send your decision notification. You can also check your application portal on their website for any updates on your status. Good luck with your application, and I hope you get a positive response!
