Misc: i can rotate my left hand forward while rotating my right hand backward. but i can't do it the other way around. that could hurt me.</p>
<p>this is a little premature, admissions office said we will hear by the end of june, possibly by the end of july.</p>
<p>I called the admissions office today and they told me something similar. My second semester transcripts are supposed to arrive about may 15 and they told me i would be hearing a decision anywhere from the first or second week of june until the end of july. </p>
<p>I was also going to post just to let you guys know, when i talked to Margaret Miranda, the assistant director of admissions, who especially deals with transfer students, she told me the average GPA of incoming transfer students is about a 3.7 and she said typically competition among transfer students is LOWER than that of first-year admits, though they accept a smaller percentage. She told me then that transferring in usually ends up being comparable, or slightly less competitive than getting in as a freshman.</p>
<p>Why they are waiting possibly until the end of july to admit transfers i have no idea.</p>
<p>and bubbly i'm kind of glad i'm not competing for a spot in your transfer class, ha.</p>
<p>3.7 in college or from h.s.?</p>
<p>3.7 in college, with two unweighted honors classes (the only Bs). My high school gpa was bad.</p>
<p>I also have talked at length to someone who works in the admissions office. He told me elite school apps were exorbitantly high this year, up 10-20%, so admissions would be extra competitive :/</p>
<p>wow i've never seen that website. I know Northwestern keeps lots of spaces open for transfer students, I think the guy I was talking to just meant that this year there was additional competition for those spaces, he said university of chicago got an additional 1,000 applicants for the freshman class (there are ~4,000 kids at the school so that is alot).</p>
<p>I think i read that Northwestern traditionally gets about 900 transfer applicants and admits about 150 of them?</p>
<p>Here's the common data set for Northwestern:</p>
<p><a href="http://ugadm.northwestern.edu/commondata/%5B/url%5D">http://ugadm.northwestern.edu/commondata/</a></p>
<p>It looks like they usually get around 650 and admit 150 or so (although they admitted a lot more last year). Somebody posted a link somewhere where Northwestern said that this year they were aiming for a transfer class of 100, so probably around 150 again.</p>
<p>yes people tend to treat me differently once they find that my family is worth over 10 quadrillion dollars.</p>
<p>my biggest question is why you went to boulder with those high school stats, you could have gone to northwestern initially</p>
<p>i just didnt know too much about nu, i've lived in boulder most of my life, and cu's mucho cheap.</p>
<p>Umm turns out my GPA is actually closer to 3.8 after I got my second semester final grades</p>
