151

<p>im coming from U of Oregon Clark Honors College. I have a 3.69 GPA and I took all of the honors classes i could in my freshman year. HS i was 6th in my class with a 4.15 weighted GPA and 7 APs (only took 5 tests though).</p>

153

<p>Still waiting for decision. I'd like to fill out Penn's housing contract, but there's a $350 fine if I cancel and head over to Northwestern.</p>

more than 1,000 transfer students applied for admission for Fall '08, and the University expects to enroll between 150 and 175 students.

<p>Yea, I was accepted at Penn with a nice financial aid package, but I'd really like to get into NU's MMSS program. So I'm counting on three things:
-admitted to NU
-admitted to MMSS
-decent financial aid</p>

<p>My chances are probably very slim given NU's limited financial aid for transfers.</p>

157

<p>Was anyone actually rejected yet? I'm wondering if they're saving the rejection letters for last (which would be ultra ****ty).</p>

158

<p>that's also what i was thinking...but i hope that's not the case</p>

159

<p>wow, 150 out of 1,000 - certainly beats the old 35% acceptance rate. I guess NU is not going to remain an easy elite school to transfer to anymore. And goodbye to any chance of fin aid.</p>

<p>Nomada, housing contract? didn't you already have to file an acceptance for admission that has penalty associated with it as well?</p>

<p>Man, that transfer stat really rains on my parade.</p>
