Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F19)	Other via Other on 14 Apr 2019		14 Apr 2019	TTPB: I wrote the longer rejection comment on 4/13, and that was the exact email I received as well. I responded to it, with new publication updates, but received no further notification past that time until the last-minute rejection.
Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F19)	Other via Other on 14 Apr 2019	O	14 Apr 2019	TTPB: Damn! If that is true it's quite unfortunate to get rejected after receiving such an email. :(
Kellogg School Of Management - Northwestern University	Management And Organizations, PhD (F19)	Accepted via E-mail on 13 Apr 2019	I	14 Apr 2019
Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F19)	Rejected via E-mail on 14 Apr 2019	I	14 Apr 2019	They sent an email like below: Thank you for applying to our graduate program in Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern University. We are still reviewing files and wrapping up our admissions process, but we expect to make a few more offers in the next week or so. Given that the April 15th deadline is fast approaching, I wanted to reach out to you to see if you are still interested in our PhD program and have not accepted any other offers. Can you please reply to this email to let me know what you think? Please also feel free to share with me any other information that you think may be helpful in guiding our decision process and timeline (offers from other schools, Northwestern being top choice, prior interaction with faculty, recent updates/papers etc.). If you respond positively, it is possible that one of our coordinators may get in touch with you in the next several days to setup an interview for next week. After replying, I got a rejected mail. WTF.
Northwestern University	Robotics, Masters (F19)	Accepted via E-mail on 4 Apr 2019	A	14 Apr 2019	Was first emailed asking if I was still interested, and after responding yes, the admissions portal and follow-up email revealed my acceptance 90 minutes thereafter.
Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineeringl, PhD (F19)	Rejected via Website on 14 Apr 2019	I	14 Apr 2019	So sad...
Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F19)	Accepted via E-mail on 13 Apr 2019 Undergrad GPA: 3.95 GRE General (V/Q/W): 150/166/4.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦	U	13 Apr 2019
Northwestern University	Physics, PhD (F19)	Wait listed via E-mail on 13 Apr 2019	A	13 Apr 2019	Seriously, just rejects me already.
Northwestern University	Mechanical Engineering, PhD (F19)	Rejected via E-mail on 13 Apr 2019	A	13 Apr 2019	Email to check portal. The process was so poorly handled that despite initially being my top choice, I was likely going to reject even if I magically got in last minute. Only contact was end of March asking about my other offers, and suggesting a potential interview that never materialized. Have MS, 5+ yr professional research experience, many publications, partial funding, multiple offers elsewhere, etc. Reached out on many fronts but couldn't get a response out of any profs...even the grad program admin I had to call because she wouldn't respond to emails. Congrats to all accepted, I hope the lack of communication in my situation isn't indicative of how the program is run.
Northwestern University	Physics, PhD (F19)	Rejected via E-mail on 12 Apr 2019	A	13 Apr 2019	TTPB: I received a rejection email from the department chair around 5:45 pm last night after the initial "waitlist" email the other day.
Northwestern University	Physics, PhD (F19)	Other via Other on 13 Apr 2019	U	13 Apr 2019	TTPB: Yes, Northwestern's efficiency is disastrous. Should have never applied here. Waste of time and money.
Northwestern University	Physics, PhD (F19)	Wait listed via E-mail on 12 Apr 2019	I	13 Apr 2019	What is this?? Told the final decisions would be on 12th... now, saying they are reviewing till now!
Northwestern University	Physics, PhD (F19)	Wait listed via E-mail on 12 Apr 2019	A	12 Apr 2019	TTPB: Good point, but it’s 5:47 central time now, pretty sure they went home.
