Northwestern Fall Transfer 2020

The latest decision date is May 15th, but Northwestern practices rolling admissions, and they typically release their decisions in divided waves beginning mid-April. Past trends indicate that the first wave should have come two weeks ago, or at least last week, but I think that the coronavirus situation had delayed their decisions. It is likely that our first wave will commence tomorrow, since Northwestern typically release their decisions on Wednesdays.

sorry to be repetitive (I’m sure this was explained earlier), but where does it say that we will have a decision by may 15th? on the website it says mid-april to mid-may. who discovered the may 15th hard date?

In https://admissions.northwestern.edu/faqs/application-process/index.html, under “When are applications due?”, it states that “Students 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. Please note that supplemental application materials, such as those for the Bienen School of Music, may have separate deadlines.”

Anyone else anxious for the likely wave tomorrow? I am thinking that I should just accept that I am not going to get any sleep tonight.

I was so confused and then i realized tomorrow is Wednesday, and not Tuesday. quarantine has me messing up all the dates

Where are you applying from @MattTransfer2020

@cusnew My local state university, it’s a decent school but it’s lacking in its academics. It ended up being my only option last year because some medical issues put my family in a hard financial situation and I couldn’t really afford anywhere else. We’re in a better spot now financially so I’m hoping I can go somewhere where I can get a better learning environment. How about you?

Just making sure but did anyone get anything today?

Nothing here

nothing here either. i bet that first wave will be tomorrow, though, since two waves would have already come out by now based on last year

Wave this Wednesday, the 22nd?

Yes, hopefully

The first wave should be out at 11 AM EST tomorrow morning, based on previous transfer threads. I would be extremely surprised if they had to push out decisions almost a full month past typical years…

man the way i am praying to the gods for a decision today

I am really hoping I don’t get a decision today going off last year’s first wave, to be fair my rejection came in a later round, but who knows what will happen this time due to the corona delays

nada

I think it will be later in the day, around 6:30 EST seems to be the most likely time

didnt get anything

nothing here either. I guess we’ll see tonight

11AM eastern or central?
