well last year, they released the may 15th batch on may 15th (Friday), so it could be Friday as well tbh
Sorry, May 15 was on a Friday and they also heard back on a Monday, the 18th! Good luck everyone!
Gee I really donât want to wait until next week. But weâve already come this far.
Transfer szn is so bad on the mental health lol, cant wait for all of this to end

RIGHT like honestly i wish there were not waves cause its sort of unfair when they dont review in order of when they were received. it really plays tricks on ur mind about whether ur qualified or worthy. i feel like it would have been better if we just had to submit our apps earlier and then all got them back at the same time

Hey guys! I obviously already submitted my app, but this one question has bothered me. For Common App - the personal statement - it seemed to be just like senior year where you write a creative essay as opposed to âWhy are you transferringâ prompt. Did most of you guys just submit a creative essay using one of the common app prompts or submit an essay of your own, which outlined the reasons you wanted to transfer. Lmk if this doesnât make sense- just freakinâ a bit because I just submitted an essay answering one of the common app prompts and did not talk about transferring at all except a little bit in the âWhy NUâ essay.
First, I donât think you should worry about this! I wrote the same kind of essay. I think NU clearly wanted us to submit a Common App essay according to the prompts given by Common App. At least thatâs the instructions provided in NUâs transfer application on Common App. Therefore, you should not freak out, for if NU did want us to write a âwhy transferâ essay, it should clearly as for that as do so many other schools.
I submitted a personal statement more in line with a creative essay type. I think thatâs what NU asked for. If not, it think itâs NUâs fault for not providing clear guidelines.

They did not expect a why transfer essay dw. I wrote to their panel like two months ago asking the same thing and they said that you could write your reasons for transferring in the additional info section but that it is not needed
hey! i did pretty much the same thing so dw youâre not alone :,) i wrote a creative personal essay that had nothing to do with why i wanted to transfer and only very briefly mentioned my reason for transferring in the âwhy nuâ supplement

Northwestern has changed its guaranteed decision date from May 15 to the end of May on its website.
where? I still see this : âStudents who apply by March 15 are more likely to receive a decision from us earlier, but we will give full consideration to all applications, with a guaranteed decision by May 15.â
I believe last year they also said that they would have a guaranteed decision by May 15, but people heard all the way until Monday, May 18th.
âStudents who apply by March 15 are more likely to receive a decision from us earlier, but we will give full consideration to all applications, with a guaranteed decision by the end of May.â
On its web page titled âTransferring to Northwesternâ
