@vivian939 I haven’t received a message they have completed my file yet
same question
I just got the confirmation email saying that my file is complete
So did I.
Hey guys! I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if I have a chance to transfer into Northwestern for Fall 2015?
Stats:
College: Emerson College
High School: #1 Public high school in the country at the time (magnet school for math, science and tech)
High School GPA: 4.0 W (my high school doesn’t show unweighted)
SATs: 2360 (R 800 W 790 M 770)
SAT IIs: Math II 770 US History 800 Lit 800
College GPA: 4.0
Mid-term GPA: 4.0
Extracurriculars: President of a Literary Magazine, copyeditor for another, graphic designer for a club for women in film, writer for a satirical newspaper/blog, member of a screenwriting club
Strengths: SATs/SAT IIs, professor recs (I think), college grades, maybe extracurriculars? Idk, reason for transferring, essays
Weaknesses: definitely high school grades (I’m a humanities person who was stuck at an advanced tech school-- terrible fit; but still, not good), intro courses
@jaygoodiez are you a freshman or soph? Apparently northwestern prefers freshman because to graduate there you have to complete 45 credit hours, 9 quarters. Other than that, I’d say your stats are pretty good!
@kiekers i’m a freshman! and thanks for the positivity it definitely helps with the nerves haha
@jaygoodiez are you applying to Medill?
@kiekers nope, arts & sciences!
You only need six quarters at NU as a transfer.

@thatrunnerkid interesting, a northwestern transfer specialist told me by email this year that ‘transfer students must complete 9 quarters at northwestern, so she wouldn’t recommend applying as a sophomore.’
Still did not get confirmation email…
I hate to ask, but do you all mind gauging my chances?
Applying as a sophomore to Arts & Sciences
I’ve already been accepted into UNC - CH
Currently at a top 50 private university
College GPA: 3.94
College Ec’s & Work Experience: Business intern at a large media company in New York, worked for a non-profit investment group, working as a consultant for the school’s media company, and other things (don’t want to list everything)
Strong essays (looked over by multiple journalists and professors) and strong letter of recommendation
ACT: 30 (Math 32, Science 31, Reading 31)
Took rigorous courses in high school… Don’t exactly remember my GPA, but something like 3.75 UW
Thanks a ton!
