CSUSM Fall 2018 Transfers

@obarrett52 Thanks for letting me know!

mesa transfer, 3.00+ gpa, Computer Science and Information Services, ACCEPTED today!

anybody else here anything?

hear*

@SalPos not yet

nothing here, their admission’s office is only open from 8am-12pm though so if we don’t here by then we have to wait til next week.

@Willis951 I don’t get it at all, especially with us being Palomar students. You would think we’d have priority over most other transfers. I specifically went to Palomar because i was told it would drastically improve my chances. If the admission office is this unprepared, makes me wonder what sort of education and what value our degree from CSUSM will hold out there. SMH

@Willis951 did you receive your financial aid award letter as well this week?

no, unfortunately I didn’t submit my FAFSA by the deadline

This is my worst nightmare, going into the last week of April soon without knowing from San Marcos yet. I received my FAFSA offer from them and got accepted into 5 other csu’s but of course just my luck, the one that decides whether I stay in San Diego or not is taking ages to give an answer! :frowning:

I’m curious why some people have already received their fasfa award offer before getting admitted…I haven’t heard anything at all from CSUSM and this school is literally a make it or break it situation for me if I stay in the area or leave. I’ve submitted everything on time, (though I did unfortunately procrastinate csu apps until the last day) but other than that fasfa on time, transcripts on time…is it maybe because I did apply last minute? I’m a transfer from Mesa College :confused:

Anybody hear anything from them yet? From what i heard they have to let us know by May 1st. That means we should be out no later than Friday.

Not yet and that’s what I heard also. I’ve been checking my portal like crazy the past few weeks, so I’m hoping we’ll hear back sometime this week.

This whole process has been extremely unprofessional. Sending the FASFA award letter with the “congratulation” word on it, when you haven’t admitted someone yet is sort of weird.

I was accepted this morning. I’ve been waiting for a response since early November so I totally understand everyones frustration but hang in there, just a few more days. Best of wishes to everyone still waiting for a response!
@SalPos CSUSM has until next Monday, April 30 until 5 pm to send out decisions, or at least that’s what their admission office told me. I think because FAFSA is a federal program and they have a deadline that needs to be met for the following academic year, they would rather have you receive your award and then hear back from the school, rather than the other way around which would be to hear from the school and then file for FAFSA in which case there’s a chance that you wouldn’t receive the award in time before school starts. Hopefully that makes some sense.

Checked portal 2 mins ago and I’ve been admitted!!! Accounting (Pre-Business) Non-Local*Los Angeles

what were your stats

Anybody hear anything today?

@SalPos I haven’t but by next Tuesday we should have all heard. I keep telling myself that no news is at least better than bad news. Since you’ve received your financial award I’m sure you made it in! The wait is almost over.

@nmann0405 I really hope you’re right. The stress has been causing me to get ill. This is the only school I applied to in the area. I can’t move, since my wife already has a career here in San Diego. The wait is unbearable
