American University Transfer Fall 2017

Hey all!

I’m currently a college freshman at a Top 40 LAC looking to potentially transfer to American for Art History! My stats are as follows:

College GPA: 3.84
SAT: 1930 (600M 640CR 690W)
HS GPA: 3.5 W (Major personal issues)

Has anyone received a decision yet? If not, do you know when they will come out?

I just received an acceptance on Friday.

Stats: 3.55 GPA
Good extracurriculars

As I have more than 30 credit hours I don’t have to submit my HS GPA, but I applied and was admitted as a transfer last year with a 2.9 hs GPA and a 3.7 college GPA, and my extracurriculars were not all that good (they’ve improved since then).

Hi!

I haven’t sent in my application yet. I know it’s rolling admission, but do you think if I apply a little after april 1st, I will still be a strong candidate and recieve financial aid (i already sent in css and fafsa before the deadlines)? I’m transferring as a current freshman from a private college. My major is political science with a concentration in IR…here are my stats

high school
sat 1640 (wont be sending in)
gpa 3.2 (2.85 during junior yr probably why I got rejected when I first applied to AU last year…but other than that it was above a 3.2 every other year
did a lot of internship/volunteer work and was a school activist

college
first semester gpa 3.78
have one incomplete in a course and im trying to complete it before applying

second semester
withdrew from a course due to depression/mental healht issues but gpa will probably be 3.5
interning with a state agency and volunteering with NGO
one solid reccomendation
college essay - id like to be in a more intellectually stimulating environment

could someone chance me ^^^

@pkin9999 You definitely have a chance with your great college stats :slight_smile: I have yet to receive my decision although I applied in late February.

HEY! I applied 1/18 and still haven’t received a decision–it’s been nine weeks! I’m going crazy!

When did you submit your application/when was it completed?

@coprice Thank goodness there’s someone like me! It was completed almost right after I submitted in late February, but I just e-mailed my admissions officer and he said that there was a delay in receiving my transcripts and I should “get a decision shortly.”

Lol I’ve emailed my admissions counselor too and she gave me the same answer three weeks ago :(. She did say, “we will probably review [my] application by the end of the week” (meaning March 24th)…so I’m really hoping that we hear soon.

@coprice That’s exactly what my admissions officer said! Lets hope its good news! What program are you applying for?

Received my acceptance last Friday!

Do you mind telling me when you submitted your application? Also, did you receive your admissions decision online as well as in the mail?

Also, congrats!!!

I applied to the School of Communication. What about you? Have you heard back yet? This is honestly getting a little ridiculous. It’s almost been 10 weeks for me now.

@coprice I totally understand! No, I have not heard back yet, but I’m assuming it will be within the next week or so. I applied to CAS (not sure if it’s the right name) for Art History.

I sure hope so! It’s hard receiving decisions in the mail too–it makes things even more tedious! I really hope that you get in!

@coprice I hope to see you there as well! Did you Admissions Officer happen to say when all decisions would be done?

No, her answer was very vague :(. I would ask again but I’ve already emailed her twice because I am going crazy. Have you heard anything yet?

@coprice Nope, nothing here. My answer was vague as well.

I was admitted about a week or two ago, so any questions you have I’m happy to answer.

I have a question of my own, though: when do we hear back about financial aid?

@pkin9999 I would get it in ASAP. I sent in my stuff late last year and got bad financial aid because of it.
