Northwestern University???

well i need some advice i wanted to attend northwestern this coming year but i didnt even bother applying to the school because i knew for a fact i would not be accepted at all. i wasted my whole high school career in having “fun” and now i regret it completely. i graduated this year and i already started going to northeastern university im taking summer classes currently to raise my GPA. do you think its possible within a year that i can transfer to Northwestern if i show a DRASTIC improvement and i know the schools curriculum is hard but i know im very intelligent (not trying to be conceited).and have the capability to do it i just need to know if i stand a chance being accepted because i plan to go to medical school and Northwestern is perfect for it.

unfortunately, transferring into a school like northwestern is incredibly difficult. 1,039 transfer students applied last year, and only 238 were admitted. that’s just under a 23 percent acceptance rate. it’s “doable”, but will be really hard if you don’t have a huge hook (something that makes you stand out). i say go for it. it never hurts to try something. just don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t work out.

and just so you know, a lot of colleges are great for pre-med students. try going to a bookstore and leafing through “colleges that change lives” by loren pope. there are many great little gems of schools which have amazing acceptance rates for med school. good luck!

Transferring to Northwestern is going to be HARD. Really work on your GPA. If you plan to go into medical school, have you thought about going to school at University of Alabama – Birmingham? They have one of the nation’s best medical programs. Just look into it.

Thats a tough jump:

Northeastern ILL = worst school in Midwest

Northwestern= one of the best
