Northwestern Fall 2021 Transfer

ya know I was hoping that since tomorrow is May 15th maybe they’ll try to release a lot of decisions around now :(( like in these next few days, but I’m only dreaming

Gosh I just hope for this frenzy of college decisions to be over so that I can get to commit to a school and move on with my life :joy:

well last year they released all rejections (from what I saw on CC) on may 15th and all acceptances on may 18th. Since we had both rejections and acceptances this wave its probably pretty reasonable to assume that next Thursday is the next wave.

Do they release decisions by major?

I don’t think so. I’m a poli sci major and I’ve seen many poli sci major already accepted to NU.

I think they release decisions to clear admits and rejects first. But I certainly can’t say what the admissions office’s standard of “clear” is. Maybe they wanted to accept those who demonstrated very strong interests to attend (geographical, financial aid, legacies, etc.), or maybe they offer admission to those who have good grades and excellent ECs. Who knows.

The only thing we can hope is that we are borderline cases edging towards admit at this stage.

Honestly, we have no idea what goes on in the admissions office, especially for transfers.

definitely, no one can predict the inner workings of an admissions office, especially this year.

I would like to guess the admission cycle is based on different majors or department. Or, it is just completely random and does not indicate anything.

its not lol, Econ decisions have come out and I haven’t received mine yet. Also, its not like they have separate AO’s for separate majors.

Maybe they just randomly select and send offers and rejections each roll, and I don’t think they indicate anything so far.

Does anyone know whether sending some additional info now might help? Way too nervous while waiting for the decisions :pleading_face:

It doesnt hurt to try. If the option is still there then you should absolutely do it if you have something to add!
