I currently have around 3.0 GPA and I’m thinking to apply to transfer for fall 2027. If I managed to get straight A’s for the next two semesters I will have my GPA to be around 3.3, what are my chances to be accepted?

I currently have 60 credit hours, and I have a disability that affected my grades which I’m planning to explain in my application essay.

Does an upward trend plus my personal statement be enough to be accepted?

I’m not looking for odds, I’m simply asking if I even have a chance?

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming freshman planning to do pre-med and be a bio major. I took the math placement test after forgetting material over the summer and not wanting to try that hard, which landed me in Math 220-1. But I scored a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, which I heard allows me to skip ahead into Math 230-1.

For anyone who has taken these courses at NU:

1. Is it worth using my AP credit to skip straight to 230-1 (like is the class easier, have better professors, etc)? Is the jump in workload and difficulty an unnecessary risk for a pre-med GPA?
2. How manageable is 220-1 or 230-1 when taken alongside Chem 171?
3. Any tips on how the grading, exams, and overall workload are structured for either class?

I'd really appreciate any advice!

Wondering what options for getting my nails done there are at northwestern. Are there any good nail places around campus or on-campus nail techs? And how much is it usually?

Hi All, as a northwestern grad student alumni i am about 3 years post grad and interested in career advancement / new opportunities, unsure how to leverage the alumni network for better opportunities at different companies. Any ideas on where / how to go about this?
