@AGoodFloridian the campus is GORGEOUS (it looks like a postcard basically all the time) and with any luck you’ll be able to be there soon!! It’s been a rough few weeks for sure, but we’re almost there, and I’m wishing all of y’all the best of luck too <3
Just got the e-mail! Decisions will be released on Monday, May 15th at 7PM EST! Keeping to their word of “by mid-May” to the dot :))
I’m looking forward to the decision despite…you know…the abysmal odds and what not. Hope is the last thing that dies!
Did you guys get an email saying something like “we appreciate all of your time and effort?”
Yea I got that too. I don’t think its any indication of your decision. The email just says that decisions will be posted to our portals by Monday at 7:00 EST
@gluttonousoyster I’m transferring out of Bryn Mawr. I do not recommend the school
@brownbound123 I don’t want to derail the thread too much but may I ask why? I’m really still hoping for Swat or Amherst anyway but my sister also went to Bryn Mawr and enjoyed it for the most part. Send me a private message if you want, I have no idea how to do it from my phone.
@gluttonousoyster No social scene and horrible arts programs. Students are generally competitive, not friendly, and closed minded. Literally nothing to do on campus besides study, it’s so boring after one quarter. I found the Consortium misleading; no one really goes to Swat because it’s so far away (about 45 minutes and the van runs every 4 hours) and it’s very difficult to be approved to take a class at Penn.
@brownbound123 I kind of already knew about the situation at Swat and Penn from talking to my sister. She didn’t have the same complaints about the students, but she’s a bit on the quieter side anyway so I’m not sure how important the social scene really was to her. I’ll be living off campus and probably driving from the city anyway, so the Swat van is less of a problem in my case, but I appreciate you letting me know. Good luck with your transfer, I hope you get in somewhere that’s a better fit for you. I guess we’ll all know about Swat in a few hours!
I’m anxious/excited for the decision tonight! I’m not sure if it helped or not but my college sent them my final Spring grades last week.
It’s probably too late, but it was a full 19 credit course load with very difficult classes- and the kicker- a 4.0. If, in some miracle, I was actually on the fence between rejected/accepted, hopefully that pushed me on the greener side.
@AGoodFloridian congrats! Where do you currently go to school?
@SeinfeldFan1 It’s a community college in South Florida 
A very well known one here. 2 of our students this year got the Jack Kent Cooke award (out of 54 in the whole country!).
Swat seems to like community college students- at least to the point where they encourage them to apply(I say this because they waive application fees for any student from a CC. <3 <3 ). I do understand that while my reasons to transfer are extremely strong, the fact that I’m coming from a CC might put a question mark near all of my A’s. Not much I can do about that unfortunately hahaha
@AGoodFloridian ahh that’s amazing congrats! I’m rooting for you, hopefully you’ll hear something good soon (i wish they released decisions earlier though; i’m abroad right now and it’ll be midnight when they come out)
@AGoodFloridian I’ve wondered the same thing about coming from a CC and how they view the grades. Although the application fee waiver is new and when I visited, I talked with one of the admissions officers who told me that they were trying to admit more CC transfers so if anything, maybe it’ll actually work in our favor. I’ve been so nervous all day though, I can’t focus on anything else lol. Only a little more than an hour now!
The portal checklist just disappeared, we are all seasoned enough to know what that means :))
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
im so nervous
Sigh
Rejected. 2 more, wish me luck!
Rejected! Doesn’t really matter, Swat was not the right fit for me (though I undoubtedly would have went if admitted). Good luck to everyone, Swat is amazing so I hope you all get in!!!
I’m too scared to look
