when does northwestern typically do their waves?
typically Thursday/friday afternoon
9:47
i am begging for a NU A wave
10:54
they didn't do any acceptances last week so surely they have to do SOMETHING this week right lol
applicant123456
11:23
Do we think they are still calling for acceptances or just doing emails now - think the last A wave was emails
11:41
@applicant123456: oh they did emails last wave?
what time do these waves typically start....
applicant123456
13:53
Does the admissions office still exist lol
Is there a wave happening right now? Calls or email?

im guessing calls
applicant123456
14:18
People mentioned in the big chat it was calls
Before calls, does anyone know if your status changes at all? Mine still says in review so I assume I shouldn't anticipate hearing anything lol
Does northwestern call in alphabetical order

Are they still calling
@gorillarocks1: doesn't seem to be alphabetical
@DJTftw: I think so but not sure
16:35
How can I keep missing these Northwestern waves
only 1500/7400 applications are being tracked for NU. could be a sample size issue
@allcasnowaves I’m crazy you’re in there!!!! Sorry, everyone’s cycles are confused in my dumb brain
I would guess there are 65-70 As on LSD still outstanding based on last year, but they were also finished giving As by last Friday last year...we'll see. If they are done with As then Friday is going to be a massive WL wave

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a contact at NU admissions office. Does anyone have an actual name? All I can find is a generic email address to the admissions office. Thank you!
