i have received no information from nw about the waitlist and have not received a feeler email. Should I give up hope?
anyone heard a WL update?
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
13:59
y’all get that waitlist update?
InsidiousCurvyCentipede
14:22
do you think they cut people from the waitlist
My guess would be they cut based only on the waitlist interview. Was it complete, yes or no?
I stayed on the waitlist today and never submitted WL Interview. I did the initial one though.

InsidiousCurvyCentipede
16:23

17:09
Mid-June I think
17:09
Or start of July
17:10
Oh I guess it was in May
18:42
Just got a feeler - anyone else?
18:42
Lmao literally on day 1 of orientatino
I did too. not sure i can justify moving at this point since its so close to classes
@HeadyPunyFlamingo: when did you get a feeler?
12:50
A heads up to those still hoping: I received an offer and just withdrew my application, so there is probably at least one spot left
@SimonTWill: they sent you a feeler prior to offering admission correct? what was your response to the feeler if you don’t mind me asking
13:55
@InsidiousCurvyCentipede: Hey so I responded emphatically to the feeler, which came Monday evening. I got the offer Tuesday evening, and had til 12:00PM CT today to make a call (Wednesday)
@SimonTWill: It’s weird because I received that same feeler days before you but still
haven’t heard back from them since
northwestern plz let me in
