Admitted Students

Welcome, Wildcat!

 

From the moment you get a “Yes” to the moment you say “Yes.”

While there are a few official steps to becoming a Wildcat, the first unofficial one is to show off your purple pride using #NUQ2029 on social media and then get to know your future friends, classmates, and neighbors.

Welcome to the Northwestern family!
