Northwestern Fall 2021 Transfer

Anyone know whether the first wave was mostly rejections or acceptances?

I know some schools’ first waves are mostly acceptances followed by increasing numbers of rejections rejections in following waves, whereas others get their rejections out first and then do their acceptances afterwards. I’m wondering what it’s like for Northwestern. Hoping for the latter of course

I got accepted on Friday as a junior transfer. Applied as a cognitive science major from a T40 private university. College GPA 3.88, HS GPA 3.86, SAT 1520. I think I’m lucky to get in with my stats. Good luck to everyone!

I know some people got rejected who submitted April 10

I submitted it on the day it’s due

Hi. I had a question. Were there people who applied after the priority deadline that got their decision in the first wave?
