Let's Survive the Wait Together

Transfer Students
81

<p>OK,,
so, after painfully waiting since my web app status changed to:
An admission decision has been made. Watch your mailbox for more information.(03/23)</p>

<p>today,,i got a brochure about their new Fall 08 off-campus housing,,
and it said:
Dear clam_chowder,
Now that you have been admitted to Drake University and are finalizing your college decision, bla bla bla...</p>

<p>I EVEN HAVENT RECEIVED ANY ACCEPTANCE LETTER since that agonizing web app status?!</p>

<p>does this weird thing ever happen to anyone? am i really accepted then?</p>

82

<p>Pick up the phone, call Admissions, and ask!</p>

83

<p>Clam Chowder, i am 99.99% sure your admitted. A lot of school make mistakes of sending your financial aid reward or asking for financial aid or any other important document before they even admit you. Then you call, and find out your admitted. I think this is the case for you.</p>

84

<p>Congrats clam chowder, sounds like you were admitted! :)</p>

85

<p>thanks everyone for the support.
i callled the admission office, but the advisor for international transfer has been out of this country for a week or so, so i hv to wait her to get back.
ill email the dean today..
anw,besides that, this morning, i just found out that i won my comm college math competition..(will hv some cash back after spent waay too much money on toefl and admission fee).. x]
thanks everyone.</p>

86

<p>First off want to say good luck to everyone. For clam chowder congrats about your acceptance!</p>

<p>As for me, my last final is on May 5 but I will stay here on the east coast until I hear back from all schools which should last into June or so. Frankly speaking, I may very well possibly get rejected from each one but we'll see how things turn out. Cross your fingers for me!</p>

87

91

<p>ahhh! That's so exciting! I'm really happy for you! I hope this happens for more people as well!!!</p>

<p>Have fun this fall clam_chowder!!! :D</p>

92

<p>Finally! A transfer wait support-group. Congratulations on your math competition clam. The wait has been killing me but I find that the <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/383111-crappy-hs-record-w-great-college-record-stories.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/383111-crappy-hs-record-w-great-college-record-stories.html&lt;/a> threat makes me feel better. (I didnt do so well in high school due to complications beyond my control.) I'm waiting to hear from Tufts... >10% acceptance rate. To pass the time, I check these forums and do school work. I also read and play my Wii.</p>

93

<p>this wait is really starting to irritate me, it sucks. I actually wish I was busier with classes and exams so i wouldn't have to think about it. I think I'm just gonna accept that I'm not getting in and try to the most of the next three years. If I do get in, it'll be a great surprise. </p>

<p>Yea right who am I kidding...I'm still hoping. lol</p>

94

<p>My Dad just called me during class and told me that I have a big fat envelope waiting for me from Virginia Tech. He hasn't opened it yet. I think I got in. :)</p>

<p>Although I am happy, my number 1 choice by FAR is UVA.</p>

95

<p>Congrats Suds!! Wish you the best!</p>

96

<p>I can relate to every last one of you!!! I had a guaranteed transfer from Cornell, and then applied to Duke, Dartmouth (my sis goes there), Rice and Boston College. I kinda feel like I wasted my time doing those extra four since I got that GT from Cornell, but I figured if anything happens and worst comes to worse, I have someone else to fall back on. I have submitted most of my materials very early starting from mid January to early March, and this waiting SUCKS!!! Even though I'm really busy with tests, classes and workstudy, I think about decisions EVERYDAY, EVERY SECOND! LOL especially the one for Cornell, because that's where I really want to go.</p>

<p>might anyone know when Cornell starts giving out decisions for transfers??...</p>

97

<p>Update on what I said earlier, my parents opened the envelope and it was Virginia Tech asking me to applying for their Honors Program since I had a good college and high school record. They didn't formally say that I was admitted, but I am assuming this is the case. I also checked online and Tech has verified my credits for transfer. </p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Now just to play a waiting game for William and Mary and UVA.</p>

98

<p>congrats to sudstar.
others, hope good news will come soon to you.
my dhl packet came a few hours after i called the advisor. i got the scholarship.. :)</p>

99

<p>Congratulations, clam_chowder ... and to you, too, sudstar! Best wishes to everyone who is still waiting.</p>

<p>This is so exciting to read about you all. It reminds me of senior year, when everyone else finds out. My underclassmen friends from high school all found out, and it was awesome to hear how excited they were. I feel as though I vicariously experience your joy. I hope that doesn't sound creepy. But congratulations again!</p>
