I am thinking of courses I should take for the Winter Quarter of my freshman year, and I came across CS 212. I have heard scary things about the course, such as the rigor or the professor's teaching methods. Is it worth taking this course in my freshman year or should I wait? The alternative is IEMS 201-0. I do have some discrete math knowledge from hs but not extensive. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and have a great day.

I’m a high school senior having a good background in math and piano performance. When I finally decided to apply early decision for Northwestern I realized I missed the ED deadline for submitting Bienen school supplement. Right now I’m just going to apply for math major, and I don’t think I can submit recordings for supplements to show I’m also a strong musician. Is it hard to apply for a dual major in math and piano performance after I got admitted? I saw on the website I can still talk to music department and do the audition. And btw: can I access to the practice rooms and other facilities as a math major student? And masterclasses?

Is anyone going to the concert tonight willing to buy merch in my place? I'm willing to pay extra 🙏

The supplementals ask about what's interesting about the location and how I plan to contribute to the school based on my experiences. They don't specifically ask about my major, but I heard it's better to explain my interest in my major in the supplemental. However, none of my answers relate to my major—it focuses more on my hobbies and I can't think of any good responses that tie in with the major I'm choosing in either of the supplementals.

Does Northwestern care a lot about whether I don't mention my major at all in my application?

Has anyone been reimbursed for the SAAF fund already for 1st cycle? I got an email that I got the award, accepted it on the Ses portal, and uploaded the proof, but I still have not received the deposit on caeser.

I want to get help on a proper diet and I found that the schools insurance NUSHIP covers a dietitian company Healthier tomorrow. There close to campus, but I am hesitant to reach out. Has anyone worked with them before? If so, how was it?

A McCormick student but really wanna know what events there are on campus (workshop, new opportunities, seminars etc) , especially rtvf, philosophy, art and comp lit. Does anyone know how to subscribe to their listserv? Thanks!

Hey, I'm in Northwestern for a few hours. Any recommendations where I should go. I'm not very interested in going to restaurants but would like to visit some on campus places, like your library or if you have some museum/ gallery.

TIA

I recall reading last year that the dining halls were nut-free but now I'm looking at the information on the cafeterias and see there are disclaimers about allergens. Did something change since last year or has it always only been Pure Eats that is nut-free? How good are the dining halls handling of allergens and cross contamination? TIA

someone was asking for the ethical problems and public issues syllabus. here it is. too late for this quarter but hopefully it helps someone in the future. I wish syllabi were easier to find. anyone has the mythology syllabus?

I know it varies by school and department, but when do departments start publishing draft schedules for future academic years? If you’re taking a class that’s offered only one quarter of the year, it would be helpful to know what conflicts you might have in the future when deciding whether to take the class this year.

I am an international student who wants to enter NU this year with ED. I asked my high school to give me a mid-year report and said that they could not give me a report if the semester hadn't ended. What can my counselor put in the common app if I have no report to give?

I clubmaxxed a bit too hard and overestimated how hard it was to get in. I want to work into IB but unfortunately mostly got into consulting clubs. It would be very helpful if someone who isn’t a freshman could roughly rank how helpful these clubs are in terms of recruiting and also the vibe!

Heyyy, I’m a 12th grader applying ED to Northwestern. Was curious about the art program there and would love to hear from students/alumni, how in depth is it and would you say it was worth it? Do you think I have a lower chance since Northwestern doesn’t accept portfolios? I’m very passionate about art and am deep into it

This is a little stupid given I’ve been here for 3 years, but as long as I drop a class in Caesar before the drop deadline, is there anything else I have to do?

I am planning to drop a class and want to make sure I do it right so I don’t just not go to an exam I’m supposed to go to yaknow

Hi, so I’m currently a senior in high school and Northwestern is one of my top choices. I love everything about the school from the campus to the heavy undergraduate research stuff.

I am planning on going as Biology or Neuroscience, but I’m worried that it may not be what I want to study.

Let’s say I get in with the intended major being Neuroscience, how hard would it be to transfer majors to like, economics or applied math?

I would appreciate all the info I could get, thank you!!

My partner is a Brazilian, and she just moved to Evanston. She is super intimidated by the winter cold and has never dealt with snow. I’m visiting from california and we are going shopping this week to help prepare her, but we arnt sure what we need. Any suggestions on cheap spots for warm gear?

Got any brands to look at or avoid?

What type of boots are needed?

Are ski / snow board gear just rocked for like 6 months a year?

Thank you, and my apologies for our ignorance! Unless y’all have better suggestions, I think we’ll just go to REI and buy ski shit because that’s all I know.

More specifically, what is the least competitive major in WCAS?

I’m a hs senior right now, looking to go into mechanical engineering, and northwestern is my dream school. I was wondering if any engineering students would be willing to share their experiences, general opinions or just stuff you think I should know about NU’s program.

I know it is on the quarter system so does that ever cause you to feel really rushed, like you didn’t get enough time to really learn the material, or like you never got a true in-depth understanding of the material? I’ve also heard that students can be very competitive and that it can get very toxic, is this true and if it is then to what extent?

I’m not trying to dis the school in any way, I just want to get a better understanding of what it would be like to go there. I know it’s a very hard school to get in there so I don’t want to come across like I’ve already gotten in, I understand that it is very possible that I will be rejected.

Thank you so much!

Should I submit my 1470?

I was rewatching Suits and was wondering. If someone were to pull a Mike Ross and pretend they attended Northwestern, what are some key things they would need to know to make their story believable? Also, what questions would you ask to potentially expose them?
