I applied on Feb 6th…no decision till now… totally expecting a rejection
Hey congrats on your acceptance!
But i have to admit that it makes me a little worried to realize that some applicants submitted their applications after I did and already got their acceptance (I submitted mine on Feb 25th).
May I ask what your stats are and if they asked you for an extra material or midterm report?
Also, anyone else in here that applied around this time and already got a response from GS?
Thanks to all and lets hope these last days of waiting go fast! LOL
Oh, wow… I’m surprised too! You applied to GS on March 1 and already received a response! I think you’re the only one here of external transfers. Just shows how little logic there is in the admissions timeline.
Applied on March 1st … still no email about results
Haven’t got any response either , and I applied February 27…
Hoping for the best
For those who asked about my stats, I’ll give them to you, with hopes of not sounding too obnoxious.
4.0 summa cum laude; Honors track graduate; PTK (and all of that, which everyone seems to have). Community college.
I’ve won two writing awards: 2019 Honors collegiate prize in fiction, and 2020 English Speaking Union poetry prize.
Moreover, I’ve had five pieces published in literary and scholastic journals.
I have a career in aviation (aircraft broker) and my resume is extensive and includes leadership roles.
But really, I think my back-story essay is what pushed me over. It’s about how I traveled the world after getting my GED at 15 and the adventures I pursued and how that knowledge enriched my life…etc etc all of that fluffy stuff.
Good luck; sending good vibes to the rest on the thread! Never give up.

*and no, they did not ask me for a midterm report, an interview, or anything extra. It went very fast and smooth. I was lucky.
For you!
Hey guys just wondering if any of you know when I have to send in my decision of attending…is it May 1st? I don’t see the date anywhere on their website and thought maybe someone here would know. Also to anyone who has been accepted, have you received your FA package yet? I have been waiting forever and am getting nervous with the May 1st date around the corner
I called and was told there is no hard date to commit by, so no worries. I was accepted March 1st and am still waiting on FA, too. Last time I spoke to someone they said the end of April soooo hopefully any day now.
Ok that’s good there’s no date to commit except all my other schools are May 1st ugh. Really hoping to avoid double committing and losing out on money. I’m praying its by April 30th! I visited campus yesterday and fell in love with it lol so I’m just dying to know lol
Accepted
Congrats. Omg I’m getting really nervous. I applied on Jan 19th and still nothing.

Anyone know how long we have till we need to submit the “UNDC Acceptance Reply Form“? I think we have to do that before we can get our university ID and all the follow up material…. Correct me if I’m wrong please.
I got my university ID directly after applying
