Application Procedure
The first step is to submit a fully-completed application
for admission. You may obtain an application from the Office
of Admissions. The application for admission must include:
- A properly completed application for admission.
Please type or print neatly;
- An application processing fee of $50 (U.S. dollars).
This fee is non-refundable;
- Official transcripts from all colleges attended
sent directly to the Office of Admissions at Northwestern
Health Sciences University from those colleges. High school
transcripts are not required;
(Note: Please indicate on
your application if your transcripts will be arriving under
another name.)
- Three completed character reference forms.
References should be people who have known you for a period
of at least six months. References from professors and
doctors of chiropractic are preferred. Relatives are not
accepted as references. Northwestern will send character
reference forms to those references listed on the application,
who should complete the form and return it to the University;
- A completed essay).
Selection of Candidates
The Admissions Committee, in general, seeks to matriculate
students who best suit the philosophies and goals of the
program, which include providing an education in the scholarly
and humane aspects of chiropractic, and fostering the development
of leaders who will advance chiropractic practice and knowledge.
Northwestern attempts to select students who have strong
academic records and who demonstrate the motivational and
personal characteristics suitable for a career in chiropractic.
Service and a caring attitude are important characteristics
of the future Doctor of Chiropractic. The University employs
a rolling admissions process; therefore, early application
could increase the applicant’s probability for acceptance.
It is best to apply 9-12 months in advance of the entering
date desired.
In recent years, applicants granted admission have had
an average G.P.A. of about 3.0 (A=4.0). The University encourages
campus visits for all applicants and reserves the right to
require an interview.
Tuition Deposit Policy
Applicants will be notified in writing of the Admission
Committee’s decision regarding their application following
receipt of all application materials and committee review.
Upon notification of acceptance, a candidate must remit a
tuition deposit of $300 (U.S. dollars) to reserve a position
in the entering class. This tuition deposit is non-refundable
but is applied toward the first trimester tuition. The tuition
deposit should be submitted shortly after notification of
acceptance since processing of financial aid is initiated
only after receipt of the tuition deposit. First trimester
students who have been accepted and paid their $300 (U.S.
dollars) tuition deposit must pay the balance of their first
trimester tuition on the first day of class. If the student
has a Stafford Loan in progress for the first trimester at
Northwestern, then the first trimester tuition will be credited
against this loan. It is important to note that because of
the limited space available in each class, scheduling priorities,
and the cost of education, the institutional refund policy
does not apply to the $300 tuition deposit.
