transfer to NW

<p>i was looking at the transfer website, and it said the rule of thumb is a B average. first, doesnt that seem a little low? 2, the admission standards should be much higher for the management school, right?</p>

<p>there is no undergrad management school - econ, bus institus...
b avg is the min...realisticly you probly need at least a 3.85 to even be considered unless you are coming from another top 15ish school</p>

<p>you're right. my bad.</p>

<p>if youre talking about Kellogg after undergrad, im thinking more like A++++++++++++++</p>

<p>no doubt. i was just glancing at the nw website and the transfer gpa seemed way off</p>

<p>No, no, no, no...an A- average or above isnt needed for Kellogg at all. That average GPA for this years incoming class at Kellogg about a 3.54 The highest of any MBA program is Harvard at 3.6 Alas, grades arent the world for Business school. A very strong undergrad school and work experience often take the top spots for admissions with grades and GMATs still important obviously</p>

<p>average transfer GPA at northwesern is a 3.7</p>

<p>I have heard much bickering over University of Chicago's GPA chances as the talk is it is incredibly hard to get lots of A grades. I am going to UChicago this year but have wanted NU since 8th grade! I intend on applying as a Transfer to NU for next year for the film major and I was just wondering if there is slack cut for University of Chicago students who may have had a harder time scoring top grades? I'm particularly horrid with math and science so I am nervous that I may not be some super TOP student, but I know I am tops in all other subject areas. My primary interest is Film so I can't imagine so much emphasis is placed on math and science so what is policy in this type of case?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Yeah, NW is definitely a reach for me. I'm a 3.1. yup. Shut up, genius-people.</p>

<p>Having a little bit lower GPA at U chicago is fine...cant be like a 3.0 but if its a little bit lower than the avg transfer gpa obvisouly admissions will consider the fact where you are coming from.</p>
