Northwestern University Graduate School Admission Results

To the person going to UIUC instead of Northwestern, what influenced you on that choice? I need to make the same decision.

The official results will be posted by the end of this week.

Funding:pending. I doubt that they can provide masters funding

Figured as much. I was just waiting for it to be posted on the website. Oh well, I have other acceptances.

[C] not my dream school anyway

Check the website around 2AM and found the rejection posted a couple of hours ago. It suuuuuuuuucks. rejection two year in a row. I didn't try hard to impress the adcom last year and so I networked w/ a professor but still got rejected, probably after being wait-listed for a month. The professor told me I could join his lab after his funding application has been approved. Not sure about his funding status now but definitely no point asking. The BME program sends out offers in late Jan., and if you don't get an offer by early Feb., man, you're screwed. No interview prior to admission. I'm really depressed 'coz I can't live w/ my fiance in Chicago now. fxck.

It was a crushing first rejection, and very impersonal letter after all the work and money that had gone into my application. In retrospect, I appreciate how quickly they let me know so I had clarity abt my options.

nice letter

Polite, personally signed letter...record number of applicants, only a few spots due to funding, etc.

finally

Why did they take so long???? goddamn

in: minnesota, ucla, bc, duke out: yale, northwestern
