Northwestern Thread for Transfer Students

<p>McCormick Eng</p>

<p>i didn't apply to econ</p>

<p>What is everyone else going for?</p>

<p>I applied for econ.</p>

<p>haha...jimstandard...love the comment.</p>

<p>I also applied for econ, but kind of ****ed because I forgot it was deadline time until I only had 30 minutes, so I wrote all of my essays in that time, which means they suck big time. </p>

<p>Does anyone know how big of a factor essays are with NU admissions?</p>

<p>I hear from people on this board that NU's essays are a really big factor, especially the WHY Northwestern one.</p>

<p>that one was the least horrible thing that I submitted</p>

<p>Anyone else up here applying?</p>

<p>bump :) 10char</p>

<p>come on...don't be shy people.</p>

<p>I like our chances if we are the only 3 people applying...haha</p>

<p>I'm sure there are more lurking around :O</p>

<p>I applied, and they haven't received my hs transcript and report - which is strange coz I sent them in a month ago. Anyone in the same situation?</p>

<p>Does Northwestern look for one particular thing in an applicant? Or do they accept randomly?</p>

<p>as midtotop mentioned earlier, I think they place a fairly big emphasis on your reasons for wanting to transfer. I would imagine that this only becomes vitally important for extreme borderline candidates, but then again, it's so competitive that almost everyone is borderline.</p>

<p>MidtoTop - is NU your first choice? Are you applying to any other schools?</p>

<p>I only applied to NU.</p>

<p>Hey, when you guys log onto the checklist website, what does it say? It still says not all parts of my applications are there. O_O</p>
