<p>I just got rejected from my dreamschool, and this has REALLY gotten me down. The thought of transferring makes me feel a little better, but I'm not sure what I'm gonna do--not trying to jump the gun here.
Also pardon any dumbness... these are worded kinda awkwardly. Questions:</p>
<p>1.) to be a transfer you must have: ".... completed one year (24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours) of academic study at a college or university at the time that you apply to Northwestern"</p>
<p>The NU site says that the deadline for fall admission is May 1st. However, many schoolyears don't end until mid-May. However, on the actual supplemental forms, the postmark date is listed as June 1st... is May 1st for the online application, and June 1st for the supplemental forms? Or is May 1st a typo? I don't know how I'd get my up-to-date college transcript by then... and I definitely wouldn't have "completed" 24 semester hours. Do I have to wait for winter admission?</p>
<p>2.) "If you applied for admission during the last academic year, you may request in writing to have your application reactivated for transfer consideration."</p>
<p>If I requested that, would both the transfer and the reactivated application be considered, or just the reactivated one? Or just the reactivated one + college transcript?</p>
<p>3.) Should I retake the SAT? Er, can college kids even take the SAT? I had gotten a 2150, and I thought it was good enough... apparently not. I had also gotten 32 ACT. Retake as well (if possible)? I think my main weakness were my GPA and my lack of a hearty list of mindlessly acquired EC's, though.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
