To the question below, he just said they have more official stuff to get through and that hopefully decisions would be ready in "a couple weeks". So hopefully that actually means 1-2 weeks and doesn't turn into another month. Lol.

Even with experience at northwestern facilities within the field, they didn't even give me a chance. It's all about numbers(astronomical gre scores and gpas) at this school apparently, and not the overall students. Northwestern is just pretty NAME with an ugly face. Apparently their program isn't too strong right now anyway, so to those rejected, don't feel bad.
