Guess what? Northwestern's admissions portal/link crashed tonight, too...before my daughter was able to see her's. The link doesn't work, and a message pops up that their outside vendor has "all hands on deck" trying to fix the problem, but "please don't keep refreshing". Good luck with that! I'm sure there will be even more irate posts on the NU boards when College Confidential comes back on-line!

She had a hard time getting onto the portal earlier, but finally got in. But that was around 6:30 our time.
I thought it had a similar feel to Ann Arbor also. We ate a great restaurant right there for lunch and really enjoyed the atmosphere around there. The weekend we were there, a bunch of students were hanging out on the lawn, hula hooping and playing frisbee, enjoying a pretty fall day. It was a huge contrast to U-Chicago where we didn't see a soul anywhere. I'm glad she didn't bother applying there!
I've had my little meltdown and I'm ok now. I know she will be ok and will thrive wherever she ends up.
ETA: CC is back up.
