****Official University of Chicago Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

This thread has been pretty dead, and I for one would appreciate some solidarity as I stress about the looming decisions… how’s everyone feeling?

@Vesperan Thank you! Sometimes it requires going thru one of these crazy admissions cycles to start getting a perspective on things :slight_smile:

Might have some tough decisions to make. Excited to see what happens though.

@petehamjam did you get into some other places already?

@Vesperan I got into Penn yesterday, so I feel really humbled and relieved. I only applied to three schools, so getting into one already makes this whole process a lot less stressful!

Congratulations! That’s really awesome. Where else are you waiting to hear back from? What would be your top choice?

Thanks! Just waiting to hear back from Chicago and Brown. It would definitely be a toss up between the three, haha my top choice has been switching back and forth between each of them for the past couple months. Didn’t you only apply to Chicago?

Yep! My current school is pretty great in a lot of ways, so tbh it would be a toss up for me between staying here and switching if I did get in. I’m very ready for the wait to be over though. Do you have any idea if the financial aid packets are released at the same time as the decisions? I’ve been wondering about that.

Got rejected by Columbia, Penn, and Northwestern. Hoping for a miracle from Chicago tomorrow!

No shame in rejection, those are all really competitive. Good luck tomorrow! Have you applied anywhere else?

Just accepted to Columbia! Suddenly I’m less stressed going into the Chicago decision!

Nice! Was Columbia your top choice?

Denied! Good luck to everyone.

Denied. More than happy with Northwestern. Good luck to people who haven’t looked yet.

Same with me. Denied. Good luck to everyone!

Accepted!!!

Accepted.

Denied. Good luck to everyone else.

Rejected. But I’m still so happy with Columbia! Great job to everyone who got in to UChicago!

Accepted. @Iza2019 @Zieggy congrats! Are you guys gonna go?
