<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Anyone else been accepted as a transfer applicant for this coming fall semester? I'm currently a freshman at Lehigh University, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna switch over to Wash U (my decision will mostly depend on my financial aid package).</p>
<p>So, if anyone else thinks they'll be attending, maybe say a little something about where you're coming from, your year, major, reasons for transferring, who knows! I wanna get to know some people!</p>
<p>hey- i haven’t been accepted to washu yet (hopefully) but i’m applying to transfer now. i actually have a question for you. was your common app essay general to transferring or specific to washu? i’m applying to other schools so my common app essay explained why i want to transfer- in general terms. because washu doesn’t have a supplement, i’m afraid that my application is not washu-specific enough. i’m thinking about sending the admissions committee a letter talking about my visit to washu and why i like it. your thoughts? (anyone else can answer this) thanks!</p>
<p>My common app essay was as generic as they come…I answered the prompt and that was that. Don’t worry about the lack of a supplement. I mean, you visited, (did you have an interview, too?), so I’m sure the admissions committee knows you’re pretty interested – you’re in better shape than a lot of people in that regard.</p>
<p>Sending that letter couldn’t hurt your chances, though, if you really think it’s necessary to explain yourself. Best of luck!</p>
<p>yeah, i had an “interview”- if you’ll call it that. i met with the transfer dean of a&s. i figure it can’t hurt to send in a letter. thanks for the help, and hopefully see you next year!</p>
<p>Hey, I was accepted for Fall 2010 for college of engineering. My major is chemical engineering/premed. Im from Stony Brook University…and i hate it here. But idk if im going to washu, im waiting on 7 more schools and the financial package is a big factor.</p>
