Why Northwestern ?

Why finance ? Any career objective?

Does Northwestern offer a finance major ?

Will you need significant financial aid ?

There is no such thing as a finance major at NU. You can apply to take 4 or more fundamental courses at the Kellogg School, such as business Econ and operations management, and receive a business certificate. With that, you can apply for finance jobs at all top firms, including those on Wall Street or investment firms in Chicago. Good luck.

If you want to study finance you should see if you can transfer into the b-school at your current university. Northwestern does not have an undergraduate b-school.

Then all you can do is hang in there and see what happens. FWIW per the most recent common data set Northwestern accepted about 16% of transfer applicants.
