When did everyone apply?
Does anyone have any idea on when we would hear back? Or like when people heard back last year? I couldnt really find a lot of info on Northwestern transfers
I applied late January btw @SeinfeldFan1
It’s rolling but last year they started on the first Wednesday in April (April 6) and continued every Wednesday. Normally around 6:15 PM was when the emails were sent out.
@VaishS ah. May explain things since I applied late Feb. Thanks!
Anyone think there’s a possibility some people will hear back today or will they wait until early April? I know they’ve done Wednesdays in the past and that decisions started a few weeks after the application deadline.
i still haven’t gotten an email saying my application is complete yet, but i’m sure i sent in all the materials. (i sent most of my materials before i even sent my application in) I submitted 2/21
@aihcxx I mean, based on past threads it looks like they wait till the first week of April. It would’ve been great if they did release decisions this week though.
FWIW it says on my common app that my file was downloaded the 13th of march, and i got my file completed email on the 25th
maybe its by school? i applied to comm so who knows
Hey guys I really hate to hijack this thread but for the most competitive schools, like NW, is it bad to change a class to pass-fail after applying?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Update: it’s because they said they didn’t receive my college report, but they did receive my transcripts and I sent them both in the same online order for my transcripts…?
@somehmonggirl As far as I’m aware, the “College Report” isn’t something that can be typically sent with an online transcript order. The College Report is a physical form (as it must be signed by an appropriate institutional administrator) that gives admissions offices a sense of the grading scale at your school. The nature of the information requested by the form means it is usually filled out and mailed to NW by your school’s A&R department.
I physically got the information filled for the College Report sheet and then scanned it and added it as an attachment to the online order of my transcript. I did this for Vanderbilt as well and they received both forms just fine…
Haven’t posted on this thread yet but I also applied for transfer to Northwestern. Finally received my confirmation email today that my application was complete. From what is seems, Northwestern sends out decisions much quicker than other schools. Fingers crossed and good luck to the rest of you!
They sent me an application complete email after I explained the college report was with the transcript… guess they didn’t actually look at it lol. Well my application should have been complete over a month ago and now it’s just completed now, after the deadline, due to lack of communication and no online portal … transfer admissions are so frustrating sometimes
@somehmonggirl I had mine in about a month ago lol. Admissions in general can be very frustrating…
I’m a little nervous, but to be honest chances of acceptance were slim for myself regardless.
My application was completed on March 14. Do you know when I could get my final decision. The waiting is really tough.
Hi all! I applied to Northwestern earlier this month and here are my college stats:
Major: Chemistry
GPA: 3.67 (I got 2 C’s and everything else was A’s, including organic chemistry)
Units: a little more than 70 semester
EC’s: VP of Membership for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society; tutored chemistry/biology for a year; working with a professor on a research project related to medicinal drug design and presented at the California State Fair, a symposium at UC Davis, and the American Chemical Society National Meeting; coauthor on a peer reviewed paper related to my research project.
Essays: Fairly strong, I like my Northwestern one a lot more than my common app one, but that’s ok.
Edit: I got the “application complete” email about 10 days ago. From what I understand, the materials need to be sent by the app deadline.
according to last year’s data, the first wave of decision will come out this Wednesday.
