Northwestern has only released their acceptance rate as 1 significant figure: 7%. The transfer rate, SAT and ACT ranges, and tags are reflective of the class of 2026 (since the stats. were sourced from the 2022-2023 CDS).

I feel that is important to state that Northwestern and Northeastern are entirely separate institutions that have almost no relation to one another outside of the name.
