Heads up all - Northeastern is one of the latest colleges when it comes to when you hear back for transferring, so don’t expect to hear back until well after you’ve heard from other schools. I forget the dates, but in general that has been the trend. They also release in waves every few weeks or so if I remember correctly. Good luck all!
@PengsPhils How late?
got an email saying we’ll hear back “back June 15th”. kind of annoying
@Goingforclacking I would be so surprised if you didn’t get in. You should definitely go to Umich if you got in though, they have a killer polisci program.

Hi all! I applied to Northeastern earlier this month and here are my college stats:
Major: Chemistry
GPA: 3.67 (I got 2 C’s and everything else was A’s, including organic chemistry)
Units: a little more than 70 semester
EC’s: VP of Membership for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society; tutored chemistry/biology for a year; working with a professor on a research project related to medicinal drug design and presented at the California State Fair, a symposium at UC Davis, and the American Chemical Society National Meeting; coauthor on a peer reviewed paper related to my research project.
Common App Essay: didn’t know what to say because I am transferring from a CC, but talked about how I wanted to go into the research sciences, and I need a higher degree for that. Also talked about how staying at community college for two years helped solidify my choice of majors and gave me fantastic opportunities to delve into chemistry which now makes me sure that what I’m doing is what I truly want for myself.
I want to hear back from NU really badly. They have a neglected disease (one that’s not sought after by pharmaceutical companies) drug discovery lab that I really want to work in because that’s what I want to do with my life. Why do they have to release decisions so late??

Does anyone have an idea as to when they will start releasing decisions!?
I believe they said April 15.
@cascupcake2 yay that’s so soon. Where did you hear that?
@Calliefornia20 if you take a look back at the transfer threads in the past two years, the first big wave was released on April 28th/29th. Then there was nothing for two weeks until they released the second big wave on May 13th. Since it’s been that way for 2 years (at least), I’m guessing it will be the same for us. The dates were all on Friday’s.
I’m still waiting for my SAT scores to be processed, but then my application will be complete! (Thank god for the April 15th supplemental papers deadline) I really hope I hear back in one of the first or second waves.
I am applying to D’amore McKim. Should I send in my AP score report so that it fulfills the recommended transfer pre requisites? I listed the AP classes form high school and my score on my common app, but it is necessary to send the score report?
I also haven’t fulfilled all of them. How much will that hurt me in admissions?
Hey how hard is it to get into the biz school? How mnay transfer and what is th eaccpetance rate for northeastern? I really want to get in there.
Do you know when decisions are released?
When I went to the transfer session earlier this semester, they told us this:
For Fall 2016:
~3200 transfer apps
Average GPA ~ 3.6 (4 scale)
37% acceptance rate.
Keep in mind that this is for all of the majors. They also said that business majors are a little under half of the applicants, which will make things a little bit more competitive.
Decisions tend to come in waves every few weeks, as seen in the past. However, the majority of the applicants won’t know until June 15th.
Hi everyone! I applied to the College of Computer and Information Science
Here are my stats:
Penn State University
GPA: 3.84

Dean’s List each semester
Extracurriculars:
NCAA Div. 1 Soccer for 2 seasons, although I don’t plan on playing at NU

High School:

I hope we don’t have to wait too long. The other school I applied to doesn’t report until June-July, so I’m a bit uneasy about the whole thing. Good luck everyone!
Is anyone else’s portal down right now?
