Transfer Selectivity of McCormick Eng School at Northwestern?

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm brand new to the forums and I'm looking for some guidance.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are at transferring from University of Illinois Engineering to Northwestern's McCormick School as a junior transfer? Here is some info:</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.95 Weighted
SAT: 780Math/650Verbal
ACT: 31
College GPA: 3.72</p>

<p>I'd say my EC's are more a less middle of the road. Nothing spectacular but there are definitely some impressive things.</p>

<p>Also, does it help if my father works for NU as a researcher?</p>

<p>I applied out of HS but was rejected btw.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance and any input is appreciated!</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>Are you sure they allow you to place out Engineering First (unique 1st-yr curriculum) series?</p>
