<p>sirsteveh, how’s the oncampus/off campus environment at NorthWestern?</p>
<p>@aussie, no other schools. Had a few reasons for this, but I’m rather glad I only focused on one.</p>
<p>@xhongxkongx, I’m not really able to talk about the on/off campus environment yet. It’s my first quarter, and it’s <em>really</em> tough to get involved as a winter transfer.</p>

<p>Please tell me i have a chance. I know its a reach</p>
<p>So does NU wait for our spring semester grades to come in before reviewing our application…would sending my application in closer to the deadline increase the chances that they will wait for my spring gradeS?</p>
<p>lets get this thread rolling…anyone know about the transfer rates?</p>
<p>how bad is it that i accidentally mentioned “northwest…uchicago” at my uchicago transfer interview? my interviewer joked about and seemed to brush it off, but that could have just killed my chances of getting into uchi…NU doesn’t off transfer interviews does it?</p>
<p>^you’re doomed</p>
<p>When does Northwestern announce transfer admission decisions?</p>
<p>Haven’t sent in anything yet</p>

<p>Chance?</p>
<p>Just withdrew my application from Northwestern, so that’s one less person in the running. Good luck, guys! :)</p>
<p>^why? 10 char</p>
<p>I got accepted into a school that I know I would choose over Northwestern, so it was kind of silly to just go ahead with the application.</p>
<p>So why is this thread dead? Haha. Just bumpinggg :D</p>
<p>so…when do we hear from them? anyone know when ppl heard last yr?</p>
<p>nothing yet !</p>
<p>anyone hear yet?</p>
<p>I might call today to ask whether it is too late to send the spring grades and when I will hear from them~good luck to all</p>
<p>Oh yeah~any one got accepted could tell me how will I be notified? email? or express mail for accepted and regular mail for rejected. </p>
<p>Thanks~~</p>
<p>hopefully we’ll know by the end of this week, is what i heard…</p>
<p>@boss529: Will they send out decisions by the end of this week or will we receive them? Where did you get the news? Thanks~</p>
