Transferring to Northeastern

GPA is really good, but engineering is one of the more competitive majors at Northeastern. They value college grades more than high school for transfers so the GPA/test scores from then shouldn’t matter too much beyond them thinking you’re capable of succeeding here, which it seems like to me.

Financial aid for transfers is historically pretty bad (at all schools, not just here) so I would expect less than what you currently receive at Clarkson (or your net cost to go up, depending on how Clarkson’s sticker price compares to NU.)

For what it’s worth, I think Northeastern over-enrolled this freshman class/the yield was too high; we currently have NUin freshman living at the Midtown Hotel instead of in a dorm/university owned/leased properties, which is pretty crazy. They may not take a ton of transfers for space reasons.
