Northwestern Fall 2021 Transfer

Dont understand why would they send an advertising email to someone who has already applied.
P.s i didnt get any of them

I got it on March 3, so I haven’t submitted my application yet then

Yep!

Hey guys I had a question so Northwestern is making the SAT/ACT compulsory and since I was an international student I never took them and my scheduled test kept getting canceled. Did anyone have a similar problem or know what I can do because they won’t answer me and kept directing the questions to the admission officer who hasn’t replied.

Can u call them?

Do we think the first wave comes out tomorrow or Thursday?

Last year it was released on a Thursday, so I’d assume that the first wave would be released on Thursday this year as well.

Probably the first wave. It could be either. Two years ago it was pretty much all Wednesdays I believe. Even with all the COVID disruptions last year, they were still able to release a first wave on the third Thursday of April. It wouldn’t make sense that they don’t release at about same time this year. That being said, this whole process involves a lot of things that normally wouldn’t make sense, so who knows! It could even be a Friday if they feel like to!

I thought that last year came out on a Friday? And then all subsequent waves came out on a Thursday.

It’s possible, though, that we don’t see anything until next week. Freshman decisions this year were extremely late, so their entire schedule of looking at applications could be pushed back a bit.

agreed, im not expecting anything this week

I think the deadline to send material for review is the 30th so even I think nothing will be decided this week.

They are technically “rolling” admissions so if everything was in and the admissions officers read it, there could be decisions this week. It’s definitely possible that nothing will be released this week though.

Quick question about the portal. A few days ago, my portal checklist only had the “All College Transcripts” on it. But today, another entry appeared on it and it listed that they have received a transcript with the name of my current college on it. Does it possibly mean that they have read my application already and thus updated the portal?

Did anyone else also see this change on their portal?

saw this like 10 days ago

Not saying that a wave of decisions would definitely come out this week, but I don’t think that particular situation applies to Northwestern. Decisions for Ivys came really late this year, but Northwestern released its RD decision this year on March 26 I believe, which is on schedule compared to the March 24 release date from last year. There could still be a huge chance that nothing comes this week tho, given that they are getting more and more transfer applications each year.

I really think they are coming out today. It is the 3rd Wednesday of the month. According to trends the first wave comes on 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of april

Last year the first wave was on April 23, which I think was a Thursday. So I think there could be a chance it’s tomorrow, but I have a feeling it won’t be.

I certainly hope that it comes out today!!!

What time in the day does the decision normally come out?
