My daughter is currently in CC and she applied in October to CBS, Fall-17 (she will complete AA in summer-17). As of today- no decision yet. Is it normal for transfer students to wait for that long or it’s a bad sign? Or maybe they’re waiting for her final grades for this current quarter? I’m going crazy already. Should we send them her mid-term grades for the current quarter since she currently takes calc-2 and chemistry? Any transfer students who received their decision letters for Fall-17?
Many thanks in advance.
I got a decision today which is within a few weeks of submitting my application.
Does it say Complete on your daughter’s Application Tracker portal?
No, it says they got the application and transcript
Was yours a February 1st transfer application?
She applied in October-16 for the Fall-17 term. She called them last week, and received the e-mail about her inquiry saying the following: “Thanks for your interest in the College of Biological Sciences (CBS) at the University of Minnesota! I understand you recently contacted CBS Student Services with questions about your decision status.
We review all applications received before our March 1st priority deadline and select the strongest class of students from that pool of applications. If the application is completed on or before March 1st, it is given the same weight in our review process. This means most of our offers of admission for priority applications will come out around the same time in late March or April. Applications completed after March 1st are reviewed on a rolling basis as space is available.” I’m very confused now…If they will send their decision in late March or April for the Fall-17 term, then how come that some people already received the acceptance letter…
I believe the students that have already received decisions are incoming freshman. It seems the priority deadline for transfer students into CBS is March 1st, which means you won’t get a decision back until after that deadline. I could be wrong, but that sounds like what is going on.
I applied Nov 6th to CEHD and was told that they wouldn’t start reviewing applications until after the priority deadline (which is also March 1st for CEHD) and that they will begin to send decisions about 4 weeks after that date - so beginning of April.
I applied a few days ago but have not received the e-mail to register my account. How long did it take you guys?
@ArmaanCH It took a while for me to get the actual e-mail with my account info… I called after a few days and they provided me my account info over the phone before the e-mail came!
