<p>I think it would help. I was on the waitlist too. remember the letter they sent us, encouraging us waitlistees to apply? and saying how we have a “better than average” chance to get in?</p>
<p>How hard is it to get into a grad program at NU?</p>
<p>I intend to apply at NU next year and hopefully I can get into an MA program for communication studies.</p>
<p>I intend to apply to NU after a year at DePaul. What are my chances, and what type of credentials would I need to get accepted?</p>
<p>Is it just me or does NW’s transfer app have two essays on the same topic?</p>
<p>The CommonApp transfer app asks for a statement on why I am transferring, while the Northwestern Supplement asks what qualities about Northwestern make me want to transfer…</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I’m an undergraduate student at UW-Madison interested in transferring to Northwestern University. My GPA my first semester of college was awful (about 2.3), but I intend to bring it up this semester. The reason I want to transfer schools is because UW-Madison does not offer an Environmental Science major, something i’m really passionate about. </p>
<p>My high school GPA was at around a 3.7 and I was also involved in football for four years, French club, and I was part of the French National Honor Society. My senior year of high school I also received an “All Conference Honors Award” for my academics while being involved in a varsity sport.</p>
<p>Basically, what can I do to better my chances of admission in to Northwestern? When do you recommend I apply for transfer (I know some schools won’t admit transfer students until the end of their sophomore year)?</p>
<p>I hope some one can help me, </p>
<p>Hello, I am new to the forum and I have a question about transferring Northwestern as a Returning Adult Student.</p>
<p>Previously, I attended three different colleges on a baseball scholarship from 1999 to 2002. I left college early when I was drafted in the third round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft. I played for professionally fo six years in the minors with two different organizations, but I was forced to retire after suffering my third major injury. I am currently 28 years old and a resident of Virginia.</p>
<p>After retiring from baseball I enrolled at a Virginia Community College full time for over the past year. I also have some ec’s at the school
- 4.0 GPA 40 completed credits
- Business Club founder and president
- Phi Theta Kappa Member
- Member of World Affairs Council- attended Great Decisions lecture series las year</p>
<ul>
<li>I have also been part owner and operator of a real estate investment company</li>
<li>I attended and passes a real estate course (Arizona School of Real Estate) but never got my license.</li>
<li>I have been a volunteer baseball coach in youth leagues.</li>
<li>I also have two baseball cards that were in circulation by Upper Deck and Bowman</li>
</ul>
<p>The problem I am having stems from my years in college when I was a baseball player. Back then I worked extremely hard at baseball, but unfortunately, my grades suffered as a result. My priority was not in the classroom, which I regret today, but I did achieve my goal of playing baseball professionally. However, my GPA was only about a 2.85 cumulative in three years of college. After playing baseball for a while and experiencing a large part of this country and playing with people from many different backgrounds, I developed a real passion for learning and decided I would like to return to college, which I never thought I would do. I have since returned to school to prove myself academically and I have some great teacher recs and good extracurriculars- </p>
<p>Once again, old academic record is:
- cumulative 2.85 GPA in old days
- 1220 SAT out of high school in 1999
- Average to Average plus high school GPA</p>
<p>I am looking for some honest feedback on my chances for admission to Northwestern. Considering my unique situation it has become very difficult for me to honestly assess my situation. I am not sure how much weight will be given to my old, less than stellar, academic record. Since starting over, I have worked extremely hard and I hope that my work experience and current academic standing will provide me with a good opportunity. I am inteseted in majoring in Economics and International Relations or History.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>How are the mathematics and statistics programs in Northwestern? I’m considering transferring at the end of my sophomore year and complete my degree at Northwestern (hopefully). I heard that there is a MENU program and I am considering that.</p>
<p>Does SAT scores hurt your chances if you score poorly on them? I have a 1270 (490 CR and 780M).
HS GPA: 3.8(?) (95.8 unweighted average)
My current college GPA is a 3.2 (14 credits) and I am hoping to bring that up to a 3.5+ by the time I apply.</p>
<p>anyone else get any receipt confirmation and a complete application emails???</p>
<p>i got them today and it said that my application is under review…yikes</p>
<p>Yep, I also got mine. Is 5/1 the transfer deadline? I can’t wait that long!!</p>
<p>got the email too today!</p>
<p>when do decisions come?
do they come in mail or online form?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I feel good about this. Northwestern usually has a 25-33% transfer acceptance rate right? And it doesn’t seem like too many people are applying this year</p>
<p>^ I think you will get in dreamingbig, you seem like you are really dedicated to being admitted</p>
<p>Is it too late to apply? Not by deadline standards, but by rolling admissions space availability standards</p>
<p>Has everyone received the confirmation email from admission office?</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we’ll here from Northwestern like when they start submitting their decisions?</p>
<p>I didn’t know it was rolling admissions. Can someone confirm this for me? I’m still debating whether to send in my application. </p>
<p>The website says “the decisions are made on a rolling basis after your admissions deadline”. I’m not quite sure what that’s supposed to mean.</p>
<p>I think it means after the deadline, decisions will be released on rolling basis.</p>
<p>im still working on my essay hahhaha its prolly too late to submit but i’ll do it anyway</p>
<p>The deadline for both summer and fall terms is 1st of May. So you will probably make it. Good luck!</p>
