Northeastern University Transfer Thread Fall 2017

So the next wave is this Friday…? I really hope I hear back soon, I was rejected from upenn and this is my second top choice…has anyone ever been accepted with a 3.7 GPA? I feel like my chances are low…does anyone know the transfer rate?

Anyone from community college trying to transfer to NEU?

@koreanincali I’m transferring from community college :smiley: have you gotten decisions yet?

@koreanincali @PixelTomato I am transferring from a community college! I have not heard anything back yet… Here are my stats if you would like to compare!

-2 years at community college: GPA is 3.77
-Work full time
-Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society
-Participant in SocialSports coed soccer league
-2 very strong recommendations from an economics professor and business law professor.
-Setbacks: Poor transcript from previous college from five years ago, but went back to school and focused on my academics.

What are your stats like? I am not sure if coming from CC has a negative impact or not, but the transfer rate is around 50% and avg GPA for transfers is around 3.3 I believe.

I’m from a community college and got accepted to NEU @koreanincali

@nash17 you can find more in depth stuff about my stats on this link: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/298822-who-at-cc-is-applying-to-penn-p14.html (scroll all the way to the bottom (: )

Overall my GPA is 3.7 (not 3.69 sorry for the confusion)
I don’t think coming from a CC will negatively impact decisions! I think it just comes down to your abilities/recs/essays (those good 'ol college requirements)

Also, I think you have a good chance of getting in. Your GPA is near a 3.8 which is what I’ve been seeing around recently. But I have no clue honestly, I’m bad at chancing people because everyone seems more qualified than I am!
If you could chance me back too it’d be greatly appreciated >.<

@PixelTomato no I haven’t! how many credits do you have and what are your stats? :slight_smile:

@Iapplyanywhere that’s awesome, congrats :slight_smile: can i ask what your stats were and how many credits you had?

@Nash17 the transfer acceptance rate is 50% at NEU? I thought it was much lower, that’s awesome if it’s actually that high with a 3.3 GPA though haha

@koreanincali I posted my stats earlier in this post: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20583475/#Comment_20583475
Also, I have completed 62 credits so far (not including the extra 13 credits I’m taking right now)

@koreanincali Transfer acceptance rate is 39%. 3.3 GPA is the minimum, not the average.

@koreanincali @TomSrOfBoston http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/college/northeastern-university/#.WQlClhiZNPM
According to this website, the acceptance rate is 51% for transfer students.

@PixelTomato I just read your stats and I think you have nothing to worry about! Your GPA is solid, good SAT scores, and a really unique/interesting background… not to mention tons of extra curriculars. I would be very surprised if you were not accepted. Good luck and keep us posted!!

@Nash17

We were told that the average accepted transfer GPA was 3.6 during the transfers session at NEU and around 37-39% acceptance rate for fall 2016

@DoronG Thank you!

I’m trying to transfer from a community college also! After this semester is over, I will have 32 credits and as of right now I have a 4.0 gpa. 1960 on the SATs and a 4.29 weighted HS gpa (not very high yeah I know).
So far I’ve only been accepted to NYU, so let’s hope we hear back soon from NEU!!
good luck everyone :slight_smile:

@nash17 Thank you so much for the encouragement! I just got rejected from Cornell and Penn today so I was really devastated. I hope the both of us make it in :frowning:
@koreanincali I posted my stats earlier, scroll up! If you want we can chance each other! XD

@nash17 @koreanincali Northeastern’s transfer acceptance rate fluctuates between 30% and 40%. This year it was 39% I believe but 2 years ago, it was 31%.

does anyone know when we can expect another wave to come out? Is it possible one will come out this friday (5/5), or will we have to wait until next friday (5/12)?

@nash17 According to Northeastern’s website the transfer acceptance rate is 39%

Whatever website you are looking at shows stats from several years ago or is simply wrong.
