<p>Cliff notes:
-Current high school senior
-Denied from Early Decision
-GPA: 4.2 W, 3.7 UW
-ACT: 29
-Overall 6 AP classes taken by graduation
-Several leadership activities + volunteering hours (just don't want to waste time typing out)
-Illinois State Scholar + other comparable awards</p>

<p>How much better will I need to do at a community college or state university in order to meet Northwestern's requirements as a transfer student next year?</p>

<p>Also, sorry for newb question but can one apply as a transfer after a semester at community college or does one have to wait the entire year?</p>

<p>Thank you all :D</p>

<p>Freshmen transfers only have one semester grades, so your high school stats will still play a large role. Northwestern transfer rate is even lower than their freshmen acceptance rate, with many students transferring from other top schools. </p>

<p>To answer your question, earliest you could transfer would be for Fall 2013.</p>
