Meet Other Wildcats

Connect with Current Wildcats

Diverse in their backgrounds, interests and admission experience, Northwestern students share a passion for their studies, their community and the world. Below you will find a few examples of the places, interests, identities, and affiliations that your future classmates represent. Purple Priority Conversations will run until February 28, 2025. Even more conversation opportunities will be added to this page after decisions are released in the spring.

Looking to chat with other admitted students instead? Join them on social media!
