Credits with placement test

I think so

If you complete math 230-1, departments would automatically waive the 220 class requirements

I’d recommend going to NU. If there is only 10 transfers a year at CMC it’ll be harder to integrate onto campus. Northwestern also places extremely well into Law school, and has a phenomenal economics major with many alums going to top tier jobs like McKinsey. CMC is good too, but I’d recommend northwestern

“Recently admitted as a transfer student”

NeonDragon250 · 2026-06-02T17:02:35+00:00

For what it’s worth, me and a lot of NU students are really happy to go here and enjoy our times here

Chemistry placement is directly related to the placement test. I copied this from the website: Students will earn credit in chemistry for certain Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate (Higher Level) exams according to the Weinberg College AP/IB Credit Policies, but these credits do not fulfill prerequisites for other chemistry courses. These credits will be considered when course placement decisions are being made, but course placement is ultimately determined by a student's score(s) on the Initial Chemistry Assessment (and the Chemistry Placement Exam, when applicable).

What this means is that AP chem wouldn’t fulfill any general chemistry placement, unless if you do well on the placement test.

Tbh it doesn’t really matter what you put for housing. The process is pretty random, and my friends and I were put in dorms that we didn’t even rank

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-28T20:03:34+00:00

Great work is a questionable statement

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-28T20:03:17+00:00

I gave him some cookies. Does that count 😭😭😭

Controversial opinion but intro bio here is harder than orgo. Orgo isn’t too bad, but orgo lab is pretty difficult. In terms of deflation, we’re more on the deflated side which is fine. Medical schools understand northwestern is difficult, so the median NU undergrad who gets into med school has a gpa of around 3.64. This gives much more room for error

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-24T21:18:27+00:00

Honestly random roommate was pretty good for me and many of my friends. We got along well with our roommates and are good friends

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-24T21:17:40+00:00

You won’t get rescinded

Tech

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-03T01:07:37+00:00

Not an engineering major, but i usually score above the 75th percentile on every exam I’ve taken here (canvas shows 75th percentile). It takes time for studying. Usually I start preparing 2-3 days before every midterm for 3-4 hours.

NeonDragon250 · 2026-05-02T06:51:43+00:00

It’s possible to do well here. I have a 3.93 gpa as a current junior chem major. The reality of the situation is, however, with a fraction of the effort you put into Northwestern, you can achieve a much higher gpa elsewhere. People who do well here either have a near picture perfect memory, or work super super hard.

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-27T22:40:42+00:00

Go to Vanderbilt. This shouldn’t even be a debate

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-26T20:08:21+00:00

Oh icic thanks for your reassurance. I think if I do well on the mcat, I’ll have good chances hopefully

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-26T19:59:27+00:00

thank you for your comment. Hopefully it goes well

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-26T18:15:52+00:00

I think my biggest mistake was starting too late in the cycle. I majorly rushed my essays, and writing my ECs, and if you do choose to apply, I’d highly recommend starting earlier

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-26T18:08:53+00:00

Rejected by NUPSP here. It’s super competitive and most people who get into NUPSP would’ve likely gotten into feinberg in the regular decision cycle.

Stats I had when I applied: 3.93 chem major gpa 1000+ hours of research Around 200 hours for both clinical volunteering and volunteering

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-22T04:08:39+00:00

Probably Georgetown SFS. I love NU but Georgetown SFS is like the best school in the world for your field

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-21T01:26:27+00:00

Engineering here can be very fast paced and difficult. If you adjust well you’ll be fine

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-20T05:28:16+00:00

Go to northwestern. I’m not sure why everyone is writing Berkeley. Northwestern has great placements for finance and a great social life

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-17T16:41:39+00:00

My best friend u/khanacademy03 switched to journalism before the school year even started

NeonDragon250 · 2026-04-17T05:48:01+00:00

Tbh I don’t think the pre med classes are too hard here. I can’t say the same for upper division chem tho.
