<p>I'm not sure if one has been started. </p>
<p>American university officially accepted. So excited!!!</p>
<p>Hi-How long did it take you to get your notification? Do you mind if I ask what your stats were?</p>
<p>Not long at all, I was impressed.
Applied Feb. 27, got a decision March 14
Gpa 3.6
Didn’t submit my SATs @CTransfer2017 </p>
<p>@Implastick Hey I was just accepted I had a few questions</p>
<p>1.How long after you were accepted did you get your financial aid package? and where did you find it?
2. I have a very similar gpa to yours with 60 credits. Did they give you any type of merit scholarships?</p>
<p>@transferr2014 I haven’t received it yet, I was told it will be sent around mid may.
Crossing fingers for now.
Congrats btw</p>
<p>Was it a 3.6 exactly or a 3.6-something? I want to apply to this university as a transfer student in a year or two and am worried about my GPA. </p>
<p>Also do you mind telling me what extra curriculars you had? </p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>@pologirl13 It was 3.68 to be exact
I haven’t been as active at my community college as I was in high school so a lot of the extra curricular activities I listed on the common app was from high school (I stated that as well)
-I graduated overseas, my high school years revolved around different cultures; I think that helped since my major of interest is International Relations.</p>
<p>I like to think that my essay was pretty good, I did heavy research on essay’s for transfer -this might be a no brainer but state exactly why you want to transfer, don’t trash your current school, say how your current school made you stronger as an applicant.</p>
<p>Sorry if it’s too long, I hope this helped. Stay focused. </p>
<p>Don’t apply to AU unless you are willing to accept crappy financial aid.</p>
<p>@collegebound752 How crappy was yours if you dont mind me asking?</p>
<p>@Implastick EFC of 4,000, american expected me to pay 38,000. All of my friends got ridiculously crappy packages also. One girl has an EFC of 0 (her parents are both unemployed) and they expected her to either find a way to pay 28,000 or take it all out in loans.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the information-looking forward to hearing back and (hopefully) getting in!</p>
<p>Me too! 
Got my letter a few weeks ago. Anyone else transferring in as a biology major? American is my top choice as of now, but I’m waiting for the end of this semester to go visit and see how I really like it. Also waiting for the financial aid packet. Why does it take them so long??? Did any of you visit campus and if so, how’d you like it?</p>
<p>I’m also waiting on my financial aid. I submitted my css profile 3 days late so am a bit nervous to get it. What are yall planning to do, if you attend, regarding housing?</p>
<p>I sent my financial aid a week late so hoping hoping hoping, it would at least help me get through.
I live in the area, I pass it everyday on my way to work, I love it!</p>
<p>@transferr2014 - I have less than 36 credit hours so I am [thankfully] guaranteed housing for the 2014-15 school year, but I hear a lot of student live in either the Berks or the Avalon apartment buildings, once they move off campus.</p>
<p>I have finally received my financial aid and can’t complain to much about it and it’s pretty comparable with my state public now. I think American will be the school I choose, I am visiting in the next few weeks. Hope everyone else got some awesome aid!</p>
<p>I’m a 24 year old independent and I was accepted to AU. As an independent, AU covered nearly 55% of my tuition costs through grants and another 30% or so through loans. The rest is up to me. They offered work-study but I have a job and there’s no need for me to work on campus. </p>
<p>@transferr2014 How long did it take you to hear about that? I was accepted a few weeks back and still waiting on FA.</p>
<p>@CTransfer2017 My financial aid came in the mail about 2 weeks after I got the acceptance package. However I could see my financial aid under the “financial aid award” link on the Myau website like a week before it officially came to my house. </p>
<p>Also everyone I visited AU yesterday…everyone dresses so nice, I felt like a bum walking around in shorts and a sweatshirt. The campus was beautiful and everyone was friendly. </p>
<p>@transferr2014 did you get an email with an account or was it the same as your app?</p>
