Northwestern WILL NOT accept any transcripts from students, parents, or ones that have not come directly from the school. Transcripts may also be sent to the above address. If a student did not complete high school, an official copy of the GED certificate will be needed at time of application.
Test scores are also necessary for admission to the university.
Northwestern accepts the ACT and SAT for basis of admission. No specific score is needed for in-state students to enter into the university. These scores are strictly used for class placement and course scheduling.
