Was your child deferred in the Early Decision round by Brown University?

Did Northwestern University defer your admission in the Early Decision round to the Class of 2028? If so, though it's not the outcome you had hoped for, all hope should not be lost.

Northwestern Early Decision Admission Statistics Northwestern typically admits about half of its incoming class in the Early Decision round (or about 1,000 of an anticipated class of 2,000 students).
