Fall 2021 Transfer Decision Timing

So I know the site says notifications will come out in June-July but is this like hard set? I applied to GW March 1st and all my other schools are asking for commitment by early May. People are telling me to call admissions but I feel like that’s not such a good idea… any insight here?? AU got back to me within 8 days and I’m leaning more and more towards it the longer I have to wait :confused:

You can request a deposit extension. There seems to be a lot of variation on how willing schools are to grant them…and for how long. However, you may have to deposit at your current first choice admit. That’s the reality with transfer applications…they all don’t come out together and there’s no standard timeframe for replies. It’s unfortunate and frustrating that some schools wait until June to release their decisions.

Yeah, you’re right. I suppose the deposit can only be so bounding in the off chance that I’m admitted and they offer me better financial aid. Thanks for the reply!
