Comments: I graduated high school a year early through the CHSPE. I will be transferring as a junior at freshman age. I started taking college classes as a freshman. 6 of my 60 credits are from UCSD, when I took a summer course there. I think this is the reason why I was denied from the UC’s. IGETC is not completed due to a negleint counselor who told me I didn’t have to take Political Science. So, I’m one class away from completing it.

Attending: Unsure
Comments: Originally, I had a laundry list of schools I wanted to apply to. But as time went on, I realized the stress of course work on top of trying to finish applications meant I needed to prioritize a few applications. So I ended up with one reach, one match, and one safety. I may apply to Smith college but if I get into UMass I’m going to go there. I may not transfer because UNH would be costly as I’m oos, but I would prefer not to stay here. Good luck to everyone else! It’s a stressful process, but soon it will be over.

Comments: I definitely think my personal statement and EC essay was the largest contributor to my acceptance (very very school specific) as my stats were comparatively low. I was able to justify my GPA (both hs and college) well due to several health complications that have since been resolved. My LORs were exceptional and I had a personal recommender who is a current student at Vandy.

Waitlisted: N/A
Attending: Georgetown
Comments: Last year I applied to a lot of schools, and I was rejected/waitlisted from all the ones I wanted to attend. To get an idea of how random admissions is, the schools I applied to both this year and last year were Georgetown, Northwestern, WUSTL, Brown, and Vandy. I was rejected from all of them last year. This year, I was accepted to Georgetown, Vandy, and WUSTL and rejected again from Brown and Northwestern. Keep working hard and don’t give up.
I used to religiously look at CC both in high school and last summer. I was hoping to get into just one school, and I’d be happy. I was ecstatic every time I opened an acceptance letter this year. Choosing a school was hard, but I’m super happy about where I’m headed.
Please feel free to PM regarding transferring, your application, etc. because I know there’s not nearly as much info out there about transferring as there is for first-year admissions.
Congrats to everyone that’s headed somewhere they love. Good luck to any future applicants reading this!

Accepted: All except Swarthmore (Waitlisted)
Attending: 99% certain it’ll be Williams
Comments: I had my essays checked for grammar and clarity but resisted changes to content because I felt that it was more important that I represented myself accurately than that I changed what I focused on to fit within the box the transfer advisors expected. I felt that it was better to be rejected for who I am than accepted for someone I am not; this worked out well for me. I am in my mid-thirties with a teenage daughter, I immigrated to the US in my twenties, my husband and I are transferring together and got into all of the same colleges. I have a couple of decades of work experience outside of my field and have traveled extensively. I think that this breadth of experience contributed to our unexpected success across the various types of colleges to which we chose to apply.
