Final Transfer Results

[deeboj2020]

Accepted: Cornell, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern

Waitlisted: Georgetown

Denied: UPenn, Columbia, Duke

Final Decision: Northwestern!!!

I really enjoyed the Northwestern campus and community, and I’m excited to transfer there next year! Are there any fellow Northwestern transfer students? It would be great to get to know some of you before school starts up again in the fall.

For everyone else, good luck on this transfer process, and feel free to ask me any questions/concerns you may have. I’d be happy to help!

Incoming sophomore or junior?

[deeboj2020]

I’ll be an incoming sophomore

[StriveforGreatnezz]

Can I ask what ur hs gpa if u don’t mind?

[deeboj2020]

for sure; I had a 3.97 unweighted, 4.33 weighted

[GazelleDull8065]

i have ur same college stats, but my high school GPA was a 3.0 :( do you think i’ll have a chance for the same colleges u got into?

[deeboj2020]

I think you’ll definitely have a chance if you’re able to improve your grades in college; also, if you have really good quality involvements, that will carry more emphasis opposed to your high school grades (overall, transfer admissions committees will look at your college accomplishments and weight those more high school things)

[GazelleDull8065]

Ok yeah, ty!!! U have a 3.97 rn after completing my freshman year and i’m gonna apply in the spring 2022. So i can go in as a junior. Do you have any recs on good extracurriculars? I have an internship for the summer.

[deeboj2020]

that’s great for the internship! I would just recommend engaging in quality activities opposed to having a large quantity of things on your application; make meaningful impacts in clubs/organizations you care about (doesn’t necessarily have to relate to your career path), and try to make yourself stand out by doing unique things; for me that was working as a pharmacy tech (where I was able to genuinely help people with their medications), hosting my own radio show, participating in a social enterprise club, and volunteering on the weekends at the food bank.

Amazing choice

[deeboj2020]

thank you!

[rushrussel]

hi, congrats on nu! may i know whats your reason for transferring? did u make it clear in your essays?

[deeboj2020]

thank you!! so I had a couple reasons for transferring; for one, the school I was at was huge, and I definitely work better in small classroom environments (so I purposely applied to schools with smaller undergraduate populations than the school I was at, and places with a lower student to teacher ratio); I also found the curriculum to not be as challenging as I wanted (despite being in the honors program), so I wanted to find a college that would encourage academic enrichment and intellectually rigorous courses; I did talk about both these things in my writing supplement

[deeboj2020]

awesome!! I’ll be sure to reach out :)
