@calstategirl Hi! I also had CSUF and Chapman as an option and between those, Chapman for me for sure. Here’s why: smaller class sizes, more opportunities for undergraduate research, better relationships with professors, more opportunities to get involved and really make the most of my experience. I’m still waiting to hear back from a few schools but Chapman is my first or second choice regardless. Let me know what you decide! If we’re both there in the fall, we’ll have to meet 
@transfer201831 i TOTALLY agree with all of those points which why this decision is so hard bc i feel like at csuf it will be so hard to stand out and get internships through the school bc there’s so many people.
the only thing with chapman is that they gave me 31k that i don’t have to pay back but they’re not letting me get the rest of the money i need through a loan with the school i think i have to find an outside source which idk how to do lol whereas csuf gave me barely any money to go but i’m able to get loans through them
another thing is that with chapman i’m not sure if i’d be able to get a loan to live on an off campus apartment bc it’s so expensive whereas csuf i’d be able to get an off campus apartment i THINK
@calstategirl do you live far from Chapman and CSUF now? Maybe you could commute for a year? You could also try appealing your FA award and see what happens. Some people have luck with that. It sounds like both schools would cost the same for you and you want to go to Chapman, so I really hope you can find a way’
@transfer201831no i literally live sooo close to chapman and csuf is like 20 mins away but idk i’ve lived at home for so long i’m almost 21 and i’m super over it so being able to move out is kind of a big thing for me i just need to go to both campuses and figure out the financial situation because you’re right, both schools would kinda be the same chapman a little more but i don’t really care if i’m able to get a loan haha
did anyone else hear back? I feel like since I haven’t heard back yet i didn’t get in. Kinda worried lol
@whendoifindout I haven’t heard back yet either. I had an interview that was apparently for the top 20% in the film major–according to the interviewer, but I’m still freaked out.
@calstategirl I went to Chapman Preview Day for admitted students yesterday. Loved it! I really see how much opportunity there is there. Also, they’re opening a new apartment complex in the fall-the grand—it looks so nice! Let me know what you decide
@whendoifindout At Preview Day yesterday, they said they’ve almost finished their transfer admissions, but not completely. They still have decisions to make so don’t worry!!
Hopefully they let us know soon! I got into SDSU and they want me to put in my acceptance by May 1, but haven’t heard back from any other colleges yet.
Also when we do find out about the financial aid, doesn’t it take a while to know how much money you’re getting for each college? How am supposed pick school by that deadline lol
@whendoifindout first, I received an email saying that my status on the portal had changed. I logged on and saw my acceptance. A week later, I received my acceptance in the mail and the financial aid paperwork was in it. I’d wait until Thursday and then reach out to admissions. They’re really nice!
@needtotransfer4 hi not sure if you’ve figured it out by now, but there is a sheet that you should be able to print from the common app itself. You gotta get your teachers to sign the form, then you just send an image of the form to the school.
I was admitted on April 5th with the trustee’s scholarship ($12,000 per year) @transferstdnt129 how much is the legacy scholarship?
So would our acceptance be on the common app? @transfer201831
Congrats btw!
@whendoifindout no, it’s on the Chapman application status page. You got the link after you applied via commonapp.
Just got into Chapman for BFA in Creative Producing with Trustees Scholarship!!
I just got accepted today to Chapman as a transfer student with the Founders scholarship.
I just got into Chapman for BA in PR and Advertising! Congrats to everyone else who was accepted!!
@amberalmighty when did you find out?? I haven’t gotten anything 
@whendoifindout I found out today at around 5 pm!
