I apologize if this was covered already; could not find anything about this via discussion and Google searches.

I received an application receipt confirmation email from Northwestern today. The email, as a good number of confirmation emails go, gives a link to the online status checker, as well as my username and password. For some reason, my password is composed entirely of asterisks, just as follows:

Username: [my username]

Password: *********

I haven't done my online interview yet (plan to do so by Friday at the latest). Did I receive that all-asterisk password due to the fact that I have yet to complete my interview? Or is it something else?

    I did manage to change my password, thank you @akikookmt881!

    That said, I'm still wondering whether this is a common occurrence. Or is this a rare administrative mishap? Anyone?

    Hmmm that's weird. You can email Northwestern about it, but I think you should get a new password by going to their page and clicking "Forgot Password?" https://www.law.northwestern.edu/admissions/status/
