Northwestern University?
So I am currently finishing up my college transfer applications. I am only applying to two schools: University of Virginia and George Washington University.
However, Northwestern caught my eye earlier on as well but I remained unsure about applying there. Now reconsidering and need to decide soon.. Can anyone give me insight on how well their Economics program is? How is OCR? Compared to UVA?
Have a friend trying to do IB from Northwestern, they have a certificate program in financial economics where you take Kellogg MBA courses as an undergrad. You have to apply to get in though. I know another kid who is a senior there who is going to NYC lazard/evercore/moelis.
Yeah, I have a friend who goes to Northwestern as well, except he's studying computer science. Can't really give me much feedback on their Econ department lol. I'll look into that program though
With UVA, if you're in the business school, then you will be in the know regarding recruiting and how to prepare for IB interviews, networking, etc. At Northwestern and George Washington, you would have to be more self-motivated as there isn't as established as a group that you would be able to find that wants to go into IB. You would have to be more proactive in preparing for IB interviews, networking, etc.
Northwestern is a great school and if you have the time, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't at least try to submit an app.

Northwestern over GWU
Why are you applying to GW and not Georgetown, which is an actual target school with a strong recruitment scene?
I don't have the GPA for Georgetown. Trust me, I would if I could lmao. I have a 3.6 and great work experience but I don't think it's enough - UVA is my first choice, GWU is basically my backup.
If you have the time, at least try. College admissions is very much a crapshoot. We all know that one person who couldn't get into one school but got into a much better school somehow. Who knows? Maybe Georgetown is lacking someone with a 3.6 and great work experience.
Agree with the comment that you should give Georgetown a try and just apply. Plus, Northwestern/UVA/Gtown are about in the same league, so if you have the transfer GPA for one then you'll probably have the GPA for the others.
