I was going to apply, but I have an issue. The link to the application doesn't go to the NU application system. I was really hesitant in entering personal information. Although I'm sure it's probably a third-party site that's authorized to process the application, it was enough to spook me. I don't want to risk giving out personal information that I can't trust. I tried to see if anywhere on the NU website (both SPS and the main website), and I see no references to this program. I'm just too paranoid. I applied to the UT Austin program about a week ago, but if I had a choice, I think NU is better than Austin.
It's legit. It's the real Northwestern. I also contacted the "real" Northwestern to verify.
The application goes through to the "real" Northwestern application portal as well. In fact, you have no choice but to do the application through the Northwestern portal. After you click "apply" on the great learning webpage, you just enter your name and a few details. It will then redirect you to the Northwestern portal. If you don't see the Northwestern portal, you might be doing something wrong.
This will help put your mind at ease:

Also, there are multiple intakes a year, so if you miss today's deadline, there is another one you can take. Suggest you contact the enrolment agent to understand more. It helped me better understand what this program is and how the admissions works.
