Greetings!
I want to start a new thread for those applying for transfer for Fall 2021 to Chapman. Let’s encourage each other and share our journey.
Hey!
I’m applying for the Graphic Design program for fall 2021 as an incoming junior!
I have a 3.1 GPA ( one bad semester) and 60 credits transferring in 
Graphic Design is apparently supper hard to get into and I applied in 2018 for undecided so really hoping to get in this year!

Awesome! Keep me posted on your progress…
Hey!
Little update…
Im submitting my transfer application tonight so crossing my fingers!
Do you know when we are supposed to hear back? I know some places on the website say mid march but im so eager to zero in on a date haha
Hello @ddakdm,
Unfortunately, I think it is mid to late March. I know some friends that got accepted last year and I think it depends on the major, but most heard the third week of March.
Hey @makeupyourmind thanks for making this thread!!
This is my first time applying to a private university system (I had no trouble with CSUs), so not sure if I’d screwed up during my application lol.
Here are my stats:
GPA: 4.0
Major: Film Production
ADT?: Yes (plan to have complete by end of Spring 2021)
Pre-req: in-progress
Golden 4: A,A,A,in-progress (currently taking this semester)
Schools Applied: CSUF (accepted), CSULB -accepted), Chapman University
I am quite nervous with decisions cause tbh I heard Dodge College is hard to get in — especially if your planning to apply for film production major (4% acceptance rate).
@ctran999
Well, your stats look amazing, so you have that going for you! I am not too sure about the admission process for Dodge. However, I do know their program is amazing! Does the major require you submit work or a portfolio? I think I remember they required an interview, but I can be wrong about that. Also, I do think they took a bit longer than the other colleges for admission decisions. However, not as long as USC, they are just brutal.
I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted on your progress…
Yeah I have to submit in a portfolio (a 2-minute short film) along with some stuff that goes in the creative supplement. They never told me about an interview, so I am assuming I don’t have to lol? I kind of did everything last minute because I was kind of hesitant with the low acceptance rate in my selected major and the tuition.

Congrats!!! when did you apply?
I thought transfer decisions came out mid to late march.
I applied to Graphic design so maybe creative majors are different?
CONGRATS! What month did you apply?
I thought transfers heard mid to late march?
Looking for 100% Honesty here!
Applied in 2018 to screen acting and got rejected but since then made it a mission to get my grades up and apply to graphic design.
Stats:
High school: 2.77 GPA
SAT: 1220
First semester college: 2.0 GPA
Transfered to community college
Second semester college: 4.0 GPA
Third Semester college: 3.88 GPA
-Own and opporate a small business mentioned in The New York Times and USA Today.
-Made Deans List at Community college
-Have considerably strong Graphic Design Portfolio
I am not sure how they will add up my stats since they are all over the place but Im looking for an honest opinion on what you think the decision will be considering my stats.
Thanks!
I applied by the deadline so I believe 2/15!
Thank you!
I was surprised my admission rolled out so fast. I also applied by the deadline. Perhaps they only admitted business applicants.
What is your cumulative GPA and how many units have you taken? I think they will be able to see your great improvement in grades, so they will like that…
