<p>hahaha yeah! they are all so funny...except I'm walking around w/ my lanyard as well. lolol. it's going okayy...not as fun being the counselor. but...eh...i'm getting paid to do nothing, and that's always grand.</p>
<p>anyone else try to access the alcoholedu program thing and have problems? It says we're supposed to access it between the 15-19th somewhere on the new student week page (I was bored...) but the code doesn't work for me. Anyone know what I'm talking about?</p>
<p>yeah i tried too....no luck</p>
<p>i called the help thing...for the login id there is a 6 before the C</p>
<p>if we completed alcoholedu at our former college, must we complete it again?</p>
<p>i think theres an option about transferring your scores somewhere</p>
<p>If the transfer credit report is totally missing some of my classes, who should I talk to in order to get that fixed? Or should I just wait until New Student Week?</p>
<p>i would talk to either the registrar's office or the college that you're enrolled in. be persistent, as it's taken me a lot of phone calls and emails to get half my questions answered, and i'm still waiting on the other half.</p>
<p>I am currently a student at Boston University and I am considering transferring to Northwestern. Both have great journalism schools, but I want to know what makes Northwestern better, because it obviously is. I want to become a magazine journalist/editor and I love to write. I am also interested in studying languages (I speak Russian, Hebrew, French, a bit of Italian and I studied Latin in high school even though it is not a spoken language). I am also very interested in visual arts (drawing, painting, designing, etc). Is it possible to have a major in Medill and in the arts and sciences at the same time?
I am in the University Professors Program at BU (sort of an honors program), I have around a 3.4 and I want to transfer for the Spring semester...do I have a chance? Will my program help my chances in any way?
OK, i promise only a couple more questions...
for the application, they always ask "why is our school better than the one you're in" and that is always a difficult question to answer if I haven't experienced the school I am transferring to. Anyone that knows more than me, feel free to answer. What does Northwestern have that no one else has? </p>
<p>ps: how is the social life? (one thing i love about boston is the city and the plethora of college students?...how does NU compare?)</p>
<p>Hi everyone I am going to be a senior at Northside College Prep in Chicago and I am thinking about applying to Northwestern for medicine. What does everyone have to say about the school and how hard is it to get accepted? i.e. how high do my grades, ACT, SAT, AP scores have to be? Any reponse would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>hey for all the transfer '06s... on CAESAR are you still listed as an applicant or a student? I want to make sure nothing's wrong with my account.</p>
<p>yeah mine is still under applicant...i think it should change mid-august bc thats when i was told that we are officially put into the system or something</p>
<p>shoe7gal87, you can't transfer to Northwestern as a journalism major in the spring, they only accept fall transfers. I don't know about anyone else but when i transferred, to weinberg, I had about a 3.8 college GPA in an honors program, 31 ACT and 1480 SAT. Recs I think are pretty important at NU, but I can't tell you how hard the journalism school is to switch into, I'm assuming it would be harder than weinberg.</p>
<p>also, to be honest, on my application i wrote really generic, although not untruthful essays. For why i wanted to attend northwestern i just said location, academics, and social scene, and then explained why for each of those. I also avoided complaining about my current school for the most part, unless to say pointed, specific facts, not criticisms.</p>
<p>how generous is NU with financial aid for you admitted transfers?</p>
<p>NOT GENEROUS...I received zip, zero, nada. The financial aid office can kiss my ass...but supposedly they aren't generous w/ transfers or returning adult students. Once you prove urself academically the first year, they change ur loans to scholarships.</p>
<p>In general, not generous at all. But if you have a very, very low EFC they might be very generous. They were with me. From the posts I've read, it seems to be hit or miss. Either they give you everything you need, or nothing at all. </p>
<p>But that's just the first year. They open up scholarship aid to you in your second year.</p>
<p>I just noticed that CAESAR changed me from applicant to student. </p>
<p>Under student/academic info/advisors it shows that I have two advisors. Hmmm... Two is better than one, I guess. :-)</p>
<p>I think you must have taken mine, because I don't have any advisors listed right now. :)</p>
<p>must've taken mine too! i've got nobody. but hey, i've got classes, that's all i can ask for. oh...and i guess housing would be nice... but they've still got tomorrow for that.</p>
