Northwestern Fall 2021 Transfer

Is it fair to assume since the first wave has been sent out that they have reviewed all applications?

nope, they said they roll out decisions as they review the applications. Here is what they told me : “​​​​​​Transfer admission decisions are released on a rolling basis as they are made. Students may hear from us at any time between mid-April to mid-June. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict when in that window an individual’s decision will be released, as applications are not reviewed in the order they were received, nor is there a standard length of review.”

If we can hear from them “at any time,” then should we expect regular waves of decisions on Thursday every two weeks?

yes

at least thats how it was last year. And we seem to be following the pattern quite nicely so far

Are we expecting some results today?

Probably not. It should be every two weeks based on results from at least the past two years. Next Thursday for sure.

If they do it biweekly, then what happens for the deadline on the 15th? Would they just not follow the schedule anymore?

That’s probably the case. I think there will be a wave next Thursday, then probably the rest will be released periodically between then and the 15th. I’m not sure what was done in past years, but the first two waves were sent out 2 weeks apart.

Do they ever ask for 2nd semester grades? I’m a freshman and got a 4.0 first semester. My second semester grades were pretty good but not perfect, so I’d obviously prefer to just have 1st semester

no, but if u get in you’ll have to submit em

Awesome. My GPA definitely wouldn’t worry them at that point it’s just nice to apply with a 4.0

i was accepted, and they said that the main point of 2nd sem grades is to see further possible transfer credit and obv wanna make sure u didnt get all C’s and shi

When were you accepted?

Last week I’d assume.

I’m only slightly stressed I mean I only think about it first thing in the morning lol

I’m hoping I get in but idek if i’ll be able to afford so the nerves are high

do you guys think that the wave that’s most likely going to be this Thursday is going to be the final wave?

nope

Does anyone know if there is an order they review applications if it isn’t sorted by date submitted? Or do they just hit shuffle and go from there.
