Official Northwestern University Transfer Thread

<p>I called today, they told me my application wasn’t complete until June 8th, yet when I called at the end of May they said it was, and that they had received my spring grades. They said it was under review. I don’t really understand how it wasn’t complete, they had everything (including my HS transcripts, test scores, and university transcripts from when I applied last year). I leave Monday for three months and will leave not knowing. :/</p>

<p>ah bummer that sucks. well i thought it was a tradtional first come first serve rolling system, so i submitted everything by the end of february…and still havent found out</p>

<p>any updates?</p>

<p>As a transfer last year, I know that a lot of people heard as late as the middle of July. Personally though, I heard at the end of June. Hang in there guys; they’re releasing decisions periodically! : )</p>

<p>radio, did they tell you that you would hear by the end of june as well? If they tell us that we should hear by the end of june and we don’t, I’m going to be severly distressed… :(</p>

<p>guys i am crying my eyes out. i am damned scared. i want northwestern more than anything now. I just went to berkeley. had a horrible experience. now financial aid is *<strong><em>ing with me. They are reviewing their offer again, but school starts next week and i was BANKING on that money. I put my entire savings for 1st/last/sec deposit on a place and i dont trust the lady at all, but it was the only clean (decent without mold growing from the carpet) place for around 1100 dollars and she was so mean and pushy, but school starts NEXT WEEK… now i dont know if i am going to get money, let alone instate tuition even tho i clearly qualify for it but they are so slow and taking their time. this is exactly why i hate the UCs because they have far too many students for far too little staff. They have 2 people, taking care of 40K students to determine their residency. Plus california lets kids of illegals go to school for cheap too and that is taking much longer (so they told me). I am so scared that my financial aid wont cover it and berkeley just lured me in with a huge lie. I hate berkeley, its so dilapidated with dealers and homeless people on each corner (unless you live in a perfect place in the hills somewhere for millions). these ghetto kids were playing by my car and were leaning up on it and who the *</em></strong> has no respect for other peoples property. but i cant afford a space because its like an extra 90 bucks a month… this weekend sucked so bad but i just thought i would never get into nwstern. and summer school starts next week. and i dont know what to do.</p>

<p>so its monday again…any news?</p>

<p>None. Seriously, are they trying to make us go crazy?</p>

<p>i know, i really dont get why NU take so much longer than every other school. other schools with quarter system will get decisions out in may…</p>

<p>This thread is kinda depressing. It seems like they haven’t released many of the decisions yet. I want more ecstatic acceptance posts!!! Well, if anybody does hear that they got in and knows they are definitely going, friend me on facebook and we’ll be transfer buddies :-). I’m in the northwestern network.</p>

<p>still no letter… I’m getting NERVOUS!</p>

<p>yeah same…i need to get in!</p>

<p>No, they didn’t give me any time frame. Thus, I got the letter really unexpectedly. Hang in there guys!</p>

<p>Only thing I can do is waiting for a rejection letter. my SAT score is like 1200 and GPA is only 3.76. I don’t want to wrap my dream yet but…it’s real…Damn it.
Hope you guys here all get in.</p>

<p>has anyone heard yet that received an email saying decisions would be available by end of june</p>

<p>what email? I haven’t received any</p>

<p>whistle, around june 2nd there was an email sent out to a bunch of us saying that our applications were completed and under review. It also stated that we should get a decision by the end of june if not sooner.</p>

<p>I received an e-mail on June 2nd and I have not heard from Northwestern yet. Hopefully everyone will hear good news soon!</p>

<p>Just like Cornell Engineering… OMG… whole bunch of wait.</p>

<p>In the middle of the ocean with semester @ sea, still no word. So frustrating, people ask me, “Where do you go to school?” haha, I DON’T KNOW!</p>
