Northwestern Fall 2011 Transfer Thread

<p>Less than three hours ago, I was guaranteed a decision before the end of June. This inconsistency in the messages is really bothersome.</p>

<p>@Speedmarque
This is REALLY bothering… I may have to call the admission office if I can’t get my decision within this month. </p>

<p>@McCubsFan
I hope that means if they know your circumstances, they will prioritize the review of your application.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t believe either of them. The message isn’t unified, so I’m guessing that it depends on who you talk to. They’re probably just shooting from the hip.</p>

<p>MY SCHOOL IS THE WORST!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!</p>

<p>I requested my final transcript be sent as soon as it is available way back in May, and what did they do?!?! They send a transcript that says three of my classes are “in progress” and I don’t find out about it until today because Ohio State of all places tells me I need to send a final transcript for transfer credit evaluations!?!?!?! Ridiculous!</p>

<p>Seriously, I have spent over 50 bucks on transcript requests now, having to overnight them to places… gosh</p>

<p>No wonder I haven’t been rejected yet… they don’t have all of my grades…</p>

<p>what happens if we have internships this summer and other projects going on right now…is it too late to tell them? like can we send them a cover letter and perhaps attach a resume – and would this have to be in snail mail or can we just email it to them></p>

<p>@6mtguy</p>

<p>You probably could let them know, but then again if you just started the activities, it might not carry too much weight in the overall decision.</p>

<p>Still nothing for me in the mail today… I can’t believe I rushed my transcripts (+$$$ for my current school) and then I end up waiting this long!</p>

<p>Rejected.
Applied to McCormick, Materials Science and Engineering. Prospective Junior.
College GPA: 3.54 cumulative, 3.81 last semester from PSU University Park…</p>

<p>oh snap, ill probably get a rejection letter today :frowning: unless, does anyone know how much legacies help? because it would be really nice if they helped a lot</p>

<p>No word today, going on vacation, I guess I’ll have to wait until I get back.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, I hope to see some results soon!</p>

<p>nothing in the mail today, gahh.</p>

<p>nothing for me either… I guess no news is good news for now?</p>

<p>Accepted to the School of Communication! Rising sophomore, communication studies major. I’m almost definitely going to enroll.</p>

<p>Does anyone know about the transfer housing situation? I emailed the housing office but haven’t heard back yet. Where are transfers typically placed?</p>

<p>Congratulations =) and Welcome to NU! I hope to be in your shoes soon. lol.</p>

<p>PS - Does anyone have any idea if the finaid package is included in the acceptance leter.</p>

<p>dizzy can you post your stats please?</p>

<p>Accepted to Weinberg! Honestly a miracle. It came by fedex yesterday.</p>

<p>congrats people!</p>

<p>stats? did fedex put it in the mailbox or did they ring the doorbell…?</p>

<p>hey everyone, i just found out we can find out if there are any fedex packages scheduled to arrive at your house</p>

<p>if you open a fedex account (for free) online, you register your address and theres a nice feature ‘insight’ that shows if we have a package coming :)</p>

<p>i dont have one coming at the moment… maybe they just havent sent it yet ;)</p>

<p>also, what does the package look like? is it just a fedex package? or does it say something from northwestern on it?</p>

<p>For those of you who’ve been recently accepted.</p>

<p>Can you please post when the mail was sent and received?</p>

<p>@monacle</p>

<p>thanks for the info! i just have one question; what did you put as the “account number” when you were setting up insight? where can i find my account number?</p>

<p>Stats please from those accepted?</p>
