Northwestern Transfers Fall 2017

There won’t be. I’m pretty sure.

@inordie Why do you think 200 out of 1900 will be accepted? Like do you have any backing for that?
I’m just trying to get an idea for what the acceptance rate is :slight_smile:

Geez. This is wild.

Accepted!!! So excited!

Can we expect any more emails today?

it’s so weird how a lot of the people who were accepted have like 1 post… maybe only lurkers get accepted :stuck_out_tongue:

The transfer acceptance rate is 12% so that 200 number is pretty accurate

Rejected

@VaishS Because past 3 years transfer acceptance fluctuated between 12% to 10%. It didn’t seem like acceptance rate was going down every year necessarily, so I’m assuming NU will accept around 11% to 10% of applicants this year.

How good is NU with transfer credit? I ain’t trying to start back as a freshman.

Rejected from CAS. Oh well. Congrats to those who were accepted :slight_smile:

@pearmetty They accepted most of my credits but I only had like basic intro classes!

For some classes they did ask me to send the syllabi tho

200 would put it at like 10.5 which is lower than I though idk tho

Does anyone know about how many waves of decisions they’ll send? And which wave was today, third?

@somehmonggirl lurkers seems to get accepted because they only make accounts to say it :stuck_out_tongue: you wouldn’t hear it otherwise :). I didn’t hear back today either which sucks but at the same time I think a lot of schools will release this week and northwestern is in the middle of the pack anyways…but still I’ll join that emotional abuse lawsuit this sucks

If you created a portal from the link people were posting you will not get the email with your decision so make sure you check the portal or whatever it was that was created

I wonder if there r disadvantages for people getting decisions later. I’d assume that if the transfer spots get filled up, students from later waves will not be able to secure a spot… well that’s not good for me

@Swerve8 I created a portal and still got the email

I’m wondering if it’s a good or bad thing that we haven’t heard back yet. Or if it simply means they haven’t reviewed our application yet.

On one hand, there’s a chance we’ve made it this far because they haven’t decided whether to accept or reject us. On the other hand it could mean nothing. Lol I have no idea what to think anymore.

At this rate, all my other schools will come out before NU. I thought I was gonna hear from NU first lol
