sar Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If I was verified mid June and haven't got an interview should I assume I'll be getting a rejection in the mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermes Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If I was verified mid June and haven't got an interview should I assume I'll be getting a rejection in the mail? No, I don't think that you should assume that at all. Northwestern continues to review the applicant pool and invite those they deem most competitive for admission and they continue interviewing until they fill their class. At this very moment, approximately 15 of the 30 available seats are vacant and the last interview day will most likely be at the end of January 2016. Once they fill the class, they will create an unranked wait-list from all of those interviewed to fill seats as some accepted students will go elsewhere. Historically, if you aren't invited to interview, or interview and are not offered a place on the wait-list, you will receive notification in February 2016.

jpshoe Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 If I was verified mid June and haven't got an interview should I assume I'll be getting a rejection in the mail? Every applicant's situation is entirely different. Some verified late hear very early on and some who apply early hear very late. Don't sweat it. Every program looks at every applicant in their own way and it's different for every one of those programs. One program gave me 5 weeks notice and another gave me 10 days notice. It's silly to analyze other people's situations, even though we are all guilty of it to some degree on here. They are a very helpful staff and I'm sure if you called and asked, they would give you some insight into a timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Thanks. Just called and said my app is still under review and no changes have been made :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booker9 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 @sar Being honest, I wouldn't give up hope just yet. I think Northwestern is particular in that they hold a lot of interviews and pick their class very slowly, and there's no "online system" where you can see if all of the interview dates are filled up already.

MaryEllen Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 @sar, I agree with @booker9. Interviews are still being conducted, so don't trade your excitement and hope for anxiety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirates0414 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm also still waiting to here anything in regards to whether or not I will be able to interview, so there is time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr88 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Was verified in June and still no interview or rejection. Should I give up hope? I'm in the same boat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmsanchez Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So the last interview is in January, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpshoe Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So the last interview is in January, correct? From what I have heard yes, but they are very fluid with their interviews meaning, if necessary they will hold more. It never hurts to shoot them an email, they are very friendly!

It never hurts to shoot them an email, they are very friendly! The website said that anyone who was not selected for an interview will know at the end of January...I'm still waiting to hear back too and it's VERY nerve wracking! I just want to know if I got an interview or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKremey Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Would anyone happen to know if you aren't selected for an interview, is there an explanation associated with the non-selection to give you an idea of what you will need for subsequent application cycles?

jpshoe Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I think some of the staff was out of the office last week. They should get back to you next week. As far as interviews go, they said they would interview into and even through January when I was there back in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisag924 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I sent an email and Kevin replied this morning. He said the following: "We are still reviewing applications and conducting interviews. We will be interviewing through the end of the month and may go into January. I hope to let applicants know one way or the other by early January at the latest and hopefully before that." Hope this helps, good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermes Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We had an admitted student webinar on December 10th, 2015 and at that point, approximately 2/3 (~20 students) of the class was full. Kevin noted that they planned to interview through the end of January and hope to finalize the class and inform applicants if they have been rejected pre-interview, rejected post-interview or placed onto the unranked waiting list. I know the waiting game is not fun, but stay positive - at least through the month of January! Best of luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchieBee2018 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I haven't heard anything since I applied. I did update my experience hours and such because they had a form for that, which, if I remember, was due Nov 15. Have they sent out any rejection letters at all? I'm not putting much hope into this school-it's a bit of a reach for me. However, it would be nice to know either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnvrlikethecity Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I believe rejection letters go out once the cycle closes (end of January?), not during the cycle. I also am assuming these rejections are both for those interviewed and not interviewed, and waitlist will be notified at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
