@DominicBayer hey just wondering, why u transferring out of NU? i’m gonna be a student next yr and was just wondering

@jaecha Northwestern’s a great place, and I’m sure you’ll have a great time here. However, I applied to transfer to UChicago because I realized I wasn’t being challenged enough academically at NU. Also, despite making some great friends, I don’t quite fit in well at NU: I love learning and talking about intellectual topics outside of class, and NU students are more focused on other pursuits.

I’m sooo nervous I can’t take it. I looked at last year’s thread, and it looks like they got their decisions on May 5th. SO close!

Omg! @NenaTheCool Good luck to everyone!

Waitlisted uchicago 3 times :confused:

I only applied to uchicago. My main reason is because I want to do neuroscience, which is not offered at UCSB.

Rejected! Congrats to those that get in, hoping for the best! If you don’t get in, know your decision does not reflect your worth.

Accepted, in disbelief

Of those accepted, any of your rising Juniors? If so, does your page also say Class of 2020 (and 2021 Fb page) instead of 2019?

@Unifect I’m a rising sophomore, so I should (hopefully!) still qualify for the class of 2020 if my credits transfer, but my facebook group does say class of 2021
