“I was a transferFeb 28 2013Communications
I was a transfer. I just applied to get into the University. COMS department was not hard to get into. As long as you have above a 2.5 gpa and more than 30 credits your pretty much in, just like the other comments say. NIU lost a lot of students after they had the shooting so they seem desperate.
