<p>It’s ok YalieGirl, I was also rejected today. Idek the time of arrival, but I can’t sulk too long. I’m just gonna suit up for another semester at my current uni and try again next semester. </p>
<p>Good luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>Got my acceptance into WCAS on June 20. Previous posters seemed to have scary-impressive stats but I’ve got a 3.8/3.9 GPA with no research experience…perhaps it was my rec letter and essay that pushed me over. Anyways, good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Is anyone else still waiting??? I cannot take this!!!</p>
<p>My S just received his acceptance yesterday. (I’m truly so sorry for those of you who are still waiting and/or who unfortunately did not get the news they were hoping for). </p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about HOUSING for Transfer Applicants?</p>
<p>Yeah 125 transfers were given access to the housing app on the 22nd. I’m assuming the remaining transfer batch will get an email together as well.</p>
<p>I called today and they said that all decisions would be made by the end of the month…which is tomorrow…but he didn’t really seem like he was that sure. I just can’t figure out why they would wait so long to reject me. It is seriously giving me false hope.</p>
<p>did anyone get their financial aid?</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who have been accepted to Northwestern. I originally started this thread because I hoped to apply. However, I ended up applying to other places.</p>
<p>Once again, congratulations and good luck to those who will venture towards Illinois.</p>
<p>@pokemonfan – I was a little afraid to apply again, since I was rejected the first time around. I think my essays this time were definitely better. The topic was the same: What aspects of NU make you want to attend. The first time, I was more general and generic— great location, great program, great school… basically I didn’t show that I had looked into the programs. For my transfer essay, I went into detail about study abroad and EPICS. When I was talking about my program I listed specific classes and compared it to the curriculum of the university I was at.</p>
<p>I also broadened my extracurricular. In high school, my main activity was soccer… Once I got into college I joined a service frat, and completed close to 50 hours of community service during the year (I also participated in a number of leadership seminars through this.) In addition, I was in a play first semester.</p>
<p>Finally, I also gain more experience for my major through a internship and classes.</p>
<p>Haha and I’m sure the 4.0 and Dean’s List didn’t hurt.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone still waiting, and congrats to you that have gotten in!</p>
<p>Accepted to WCAS!</p>
<p>Admitted to WCAS on the 26th. I was hoping I wouldn’t get in so I didn’t have to choose schools myself, but that’s life.</p>
<p>still havent heard anything… i really dont care anymore. still got into my dream school!</p>
<p>Have any accepted students heard back from financial aid yet? Anything promising?</p>
<p>Question regarding the Housing Application? When my S goes in to the Housing Application, the drop down menu states he is a Freshman? Is this simply a programming for housing issue? His first year courses at his current college will transfer to Northwestern correct?</p>
<p>Tell your son to keep reading his NU email and forward it to his main email. If there is no transfer option just call Housing 847-491-7564. I had the same issue and they fixed it in 5 seconds.</p>
<p>do you guys know if we can apply for spring transfer if we got rejected for fall?
or do i have to wait a year?
congrats to those who made it :]</p>
<p>Hi there, </p>
<p>I am now a chemE sophomore in UIUC. Since I am looking for a smaller size learning environment, I decided to transfer to Northeastern. Below are my current academic stats.</p>
<p>SAT(CR/MATH/CW): 410/680/550
SAT II(CHEM/MATH):720/800
ACT(English/math/reading/science/writing):21/35/12/22/20 Composition:23</p>
<p>AP: Math BC:5
Chinese:5
Physics C:3
Biology: 3
Current college GPA: 3.87</p>
<p>Should I retake my ACT or SAT?</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>if northwestern requires the 2nd semester grade…does that mean it will not weigh HS record heavily?</p>
<p>^I would assume so. Can anyone clarify how the “rolling” decisions work? I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to get to know my professors(my semester begins January 28th) so every extra week helps with the recommendations.</p>
<p>This is last year’s NU thread, please start a 2013 thread to continue your discussion.</p>
