Rejected from the Waitlist. Didn't expect much: Northwestern seems to waitlist many more candidates than other universities, and they only notified me about the waitlist with an impersonal email asking me to send updates through a Google Forms. They also did not invite me to the visit day. Good luck to the remaining candidates! 0a/3w(2 became rejections)/10r, only one left...

Received interview invite on Feb 1. Interviewed with 4 professors and visited multiple labs in mid Feb. They somehow forgot to send me the rejection decision last week. I only got to know my result today after asking about my status. All my previous inquiries in the past two months were ghosted. Be prepared for a not well managed communication system.
