Brandeis Transfer Thread Fall 2019

@jdewey Sophomore

Thanks for the reply, are you out of state?

@Jadenli000 I didn’t get email ask me to have an online interview.

@k11k11 I took the online interview last week, and I think the next decision time is May 2th.

@Jadenli000 Nooo! I still have 6 schools to wait…

I haven’t received a decision yet, does that mean I’m not getting in? I’m getting super worried here

@ineedcoffee8 Don’t worry! The official website says the notification will out from April to June! Finger crossed for you!

@k11k11 thank you! I hate the rolling decision thing, it’s so stressful. Just curious since you were accepted, what were your qualifications?

@ineedcoffee8 I didn’t submit SAT/ACT, entering as a sophomore in Fall 2019, first major media, second Econ
College GPA (includes Midterm Report) is 4.0
High School GPA 3.2 (upward trend)
7 activities: 2 leadership, 2 college club, 1 internship related to my major, 2 volunteer activities
5 honors & awards (earned before the first-year college started)
3 recommendation letters (Math, Econ, Asian Studies)

I believe you can get in!

I will be turning down Brandeis to leave space for others.

@k11k11 wow super impressive, jesus! I’m not so sure, my credentials aren’t quite at that level and I have basically no ECs which probably hurts my chances big time. I guess we’ll see though, fingers crossed I find out this week because I don’t think I can handle waiting plus stress during finals, I might actually die

good luck @kcasssuu ! Do you know where you’re headed?

@ineedcoffee8 I’m super anxious too! Hope we can go to our dream school!

They’re really trying to give me a heart attack sending me an email titled “Your Brandeis Admissions Decision” just to tell me they’re releasing it Thursday.

@Vexaeria They sent the email to me too, good luck to us!!!

@Vexaeria @Jadenli000 ahhhhh me too, good luck everyone!!! :smile:

Hi! Can someone chance me? I’m super anxious to hear back lol

I will be entering as a Junior. I have a 3.81 GPA (straight A’s for the past two semesters). I went to UMass Amherst in the honors college for 3 semester but this semester I am taking classes at a local community college for health reasons (documented). I am a legal studies major with a major GPA of 4.0. I was also deputy events director for the University Democrats, Vice President of Political Advocacy Council, and reporter for a school newspaper. I have 2 stellar letters of recommendation from professors in my major and a letter of rec from the head of honors. I have volunteered on several political campaigns including Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, etc.
My high school record is pretty mediocre because I was going through family problems. I had a 3.3 GPA and a 1200 on the new SAT. I was president of the Junior Rotary Interact Club and lead attorney of the Mock Trials team.
I applied as a sociology major

Thanks in advance!

@dgo123 I think you are good. I am now in UMass Amherst too, I am now a Finance major. Did you get the email and said that the decision will come out tomorrow?

RIP the “withdraw my application” button…it’s for sure tonight y’all and I’m having a heart attack

Good luck to everyone!
