Website does say that their most succusful transfer applicants/students have earned at least a cumulative gpa of at least 3.3
^^ That is true. The guy I talked to told me their average transfer GPA was a little over a 3.7. I’m really hoping I get in. I am from Boston, and would be literally a 10 minute train ride from home. But at the same time, being at Northeastern would be like being in a whole separate city. I worked at Northeastern for a little bit too while in high school, so I love it. I am really hopeful!
Though, I have had a few problems with my application materials where I sent them multiple times and stuff. So I am expecting I won’t hear back for a while.
I sent in my application in December over winter break.
They have had all of my info and recently I have updated them with my mid term grades (which are on track with my grades from last semester).
I still dont think I will hear back for a few more weeks unfortunately. I hate the waiting game.
Even though they don’t require the midterm report, do you guys think it would help that I submitted it?
Hearing people state how they are worried to get in with a 3.9 gpa? I am on the lower side of a 3.5 my first simester for college transfer for fall sophomore 2015 business school. Mid term report was all A’s for second semester. However, my sat and high school grades are on the low side. I hope these look at improvement more then senior grades.
I applied as a transfer for fall 2015 as well, as a sophomore computer science major. I am currently a freshman at UMass Amherst.
I finished first semester with a 3.835 GPA. I am a part of the Commonwealth Honors College, and the Computer Science Women’s group.My HS grades were decent, I graduated with a 3.8 and got a 1920 on the SAT, lots of extracurriculars.
I am really hopeful that I will get in, but I don’t expect a decision release for another few weeks. When is everyone else expecting theirs? I know they are rolling but I did not know they were supposedly releasing decisions today? Where did anyone find that information? I am wicked nervous that I won’t receive a decision until June…
Does anyone know how much NEU’s tuition deposit will be?
I believe it is around $500.
Im not worrying about that yet though. Have to get in first!
Do they look at upward trends? My gpa has been going up every semester. I’m a second semester sophomore
Hey Rainbow- we’re applying from the same school lol.
Is it true that Northeastern only sends out responses every two weeks? So the next wave would be the 15th?
Anyone else keep checking the status page obsessively?
I called admissions and they said for transfer students they are running about 4 wks out. They received all my material on 3/5. Hopefully will hear soon.
“running about 4 weeks out” meaning…people get a decision about four weeks from when they apply? or they’ve been working on admissions decisions for four weeks? sorry. just confused. and very nervous.
Yeah that is confusing
It’s ok, they said once they receive the completed application it takes about 4 wks to process and then they notify via email.
Yeah, I just emailed the admissions office yesterday and they said that they haven’t sent out any decisions yet. They said they will start releasing decisions after April 15th because transfer applicants have until then to submit the required documents.
I thought the deadline was April 1
I have no idea, that’s what I thought too. I guess the April 1st was just to submit your Common App.
I wish we would just find out already, I get more nervous and anxious by the day… lol
Yeah same, but it’s just right around the corner!
