Northwestern Fall Transfer 2020

@CHVRCHES i knowwww omg bruh. I could have made my essay so much better

@jazziscool the fact that I care about NU the most but it’s the only school I submitted a horrible supplement to LMAOO… end me

@CHVRCHES well the only thing we can do now is wait I guess

I think it is rather obvious that they weren’t going to release decisions today. The application is still open. But it is rather odd that I didn’t get a notification. I also applied to Notre Dame and they sent me an email notifying me about the extension. NU didn’t even change the deadline in the CommonApp.

Do you think I could hear back in the first wave if I applied last week? Thanks!

@colb1234567 It would depend on a couple of things. The first would be whether or not they have all of your supplements to the application (transcripts, school report, etc.). The second would be the strength of your application. It would appear as if the first wave of applicants are mostly rejections with some acceptances. This is because the first round of decisions are for people they are absolutely sure about (applicants they would never accept or really stellar ones). With that in mind, the odds that they have received, processed, and reviewed your application AND decided that you were someone that they were absolutely sure about either admitting or rejecting before the first wave of decisions come out is very unlikely. Possible? Yes, but if I were you, I wouldn’t expect it.

I wish decisions would have came out today because now I have to register for fall classes, which is kind of a pain.

I’m just hoping that if they delay the decisions by a week that the first wave has more acceptances than normal.

Is 3.76 a low gpa for Northwestern

@businesslove No, but the way your GPA is viewed also depends on the perceived rigor of your college’s curriculum

I just noticed my portal added the financial aid status tab. Is this new for everyone?

That’s popped up on mine since yesterday too. That doesn’t mean we were accepted does it??

Do others have it?

I have it. I checked yesterday and I didn’t see that separate tab.

i also have that tab now

i have the tab as well but at least they’re being active

Also have it. I’m so nervous but excited for next week even tho I know it’ll probably be a rejection for me eventually

I have the tab as well. Not sure if it means anything, but I am hoping that it does :slight_smile:

Who else is going crazy cause they aren’t releasing decisions? Obviously it’s a crazy time for them over there with enrollments and waitlists and everything but they have to know what this is doing to US! Especially to not release a statement when EVERY YEAR except last year they release on the 2nd Wednesday!!!

I think it’s a little unreasonable to complain about a presumably one week delay in the middle of a pandemic, but…
