Fall 2018 Transfers Claremont Mckenna College

Hey everyone! Decided to make a thread for CMC since there was no forum for this current year for transfers. With the application due date looming by, lets use this thread for any questions, concerns, comments, or just some fun conversations!

@armadaswim This thread is so dead lol. Did you do the video interview?

@SmartJarhead lol yea this thread was a lot less active than I anticipated. I am planning on working on the optional video submission if I have time.

Yeah lol. I haven’t gotten around to the video either.

Anyone know when decisions come out?

I think May 15

has anyone gotten accepted/rejected yet?? maybe notifications come earlier than stated

@cz1521 not yet. All decisions should be released around May 12. That was the notification date last year.

Did anyone get an email about financial aid about a week ago? I’m wondering if that’s any indication of my admission decision. The letter roughly said that the CMC admissions office contacted the FA office to reach out to me. Any ideas?

Yeah I got it too

Same here! I had wondered if it was indicitave of anything, but idk

Interesting. I just called admissions and they didn’t say either way. However, I believe decisions will come out tomorrow. Fingers crossed… good luck everyone!

My video interview was so hard lol. I never do social media so it was my first experience in front of a camera. Good but weird seein myself give a speech. Took like 1000 takes haha. Anyone have a similar experience?

@Doubleblind I cringed when I was editing my video. The final product was alright, but it was so awkward during the editing process. I only did the video because last year I called CMC admissions and they told me that the interview and video submission makes applicants stand out.

@armadaswim haha same!! I think it went wel ultimately though. I’m so excited for tomorrow. I can’t believe how a lot of people haven’t heard of CMC (it’s probably because of the small student body size) since it’s statistics are insane. I read somewhere that 80% of their graduates who apply for med school get into their first or second choice. Silicon Valley internship? Yes please. California? Yeah I’m from Minnesota so… needless to say, I am very excited and nervous for tomorrow.

@Doubleblind did you confirm with the admissions officers that they will be releasing the decisions tomorrow?

@IAmBoss I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus so don’t quote me on it. They left the door open for a release next week, and I will too. But if I’m a betting man, im going with tomorrow. The Vanderbilt transfer thread was a disaster with predictions on release dates, and I don’t want to bring any anxiety to this thread so let’s just wait and see :slight_smile:

@Doubleblind haha no worries. I didn’t realize the decisions would come out so quickly. Best of luck to everyone!

@IAmBoss right on! Yeah good luck all!

They are releasing it on the 15th. I called.
