<p>uh-oh, i put that line "Frankly, I was sold after I saw pictures of Perelman Quad." :o</p>
<p>Are you talking about me Reaching4thestars? Gosh, I really couldn't tell you. I'm not really doing the machine gun theory thing I did last year but I'm not 100% counting on getting into both schools since they're really competitive. I'll take whatever I can get =)</p>

<p>ya i was. there are like no other transfer threads on the G-town board...
well i think G-town or penn, either one would be sweet</p>
<p>p.s. lol, what's machine gun theory?</p>
<p>It's what my friend did. 22 schools, 132 envelopes.</p>
<p>lol yeah, it's like when you apply to like 40,000 schools and hope to hit at least one.</p>
<p>hahah great theory.
22 schools is quite a lot though. i can't even name that many off the top of my head.</p>

<p>yah, jesus christ! 22 x 2 essays = 44 essays + 100 short essay questions!!!!
:eek:</p>
<p>he told me that he wouldnt leave his room for 3 days at a time and that the floor was covered with paper.</p>
<p>some schools have more essays:
for cornell I wrote 4 full-sezed and 2 short I think...
for Yale 3 long ones...</p>
<p>there has definitely been a lot of essay writing lately. 20+</p>
<p>it's funny but i can actually tell that my writing as a result has gotten much better...</p>
<p>I agree. I'm a big procrastinator (as you can see) and I applied to around 12 schools last year. Although a lot of them used Common App., places like Duke and Northwestern required additional unique essays and it was a pain just writing them. I actually paid the fees for schools like Michigan and ended up not even turning the app in because I couldn't finish the essays in time.</p>

<p>The only reason I didn't wanna use the common app is how it's just that. Common. Despite school's saying "We give equal considerationm," I'd think the human factor would say he's just applying to a lot of schools. Does he even wanna come here?</p>
<p>goodness, you <em>paid</em> all that money and didn't send an app?! whoa thats intense.... or maybe the exact opposite, i dunno</p>
<p>btw, WOOT!</p>
<p>I have approximately 60% of my appz done now! (although that's kinda cheating since UCLA/UCB are like the same). </p>
<p>only NYU and UoC left (dreading the UoC essay)</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we can expect some type of notification of receipt of our applications? And is there a decisions website like there is for undergraduate admission?</p>
<p>Hey! I remember this amazing feeling of finishing an application. It's nice...I sent it at like 3:45 last night, hopefully they won't care too much. I guess this was a good experience though because now I sure as hell won't procrastinate so much for my other schools (but I doubt it). Since I never really thought I would get in to UPenn I didn't work too hard...silly me. It's supposed to be the other way around usually. Oh well. </p>
<p>25% done - UChicago, NYU, and Northwestern to go</p>
<p>Haha yeah. I paid my transcript ($10), SAT score ($9) and ACT ($7 or something) and ended up not applying to Michigan. I sort of regret it, but I couldn't sneak in any time to finish the essays. Now, I only have Northwestern to go and Part I was submitted already. I only have like 2 essays to finish the application, which will probably take me until April 30th. hah</p>
<p>yeah, I ended up not applying to UPenn aftere I sent a bunch of stuff. In the last 3 days I have been sending a new application every day. It's insane. So I just couldn't get to it. It was one of my "safetier" schools, but oh well. Now my schools are all accepting like 5% :/</p>
<p>post1001, you will first get the blue post card saying they have received your application. it also says you are responsible for sending any test scores, etc. a couple weeks later you will get a letter saying they have received your application and they provide you with a userID and passcode to check your decision status. for transfer students, we will get an email telling us to check the site when a decision has been made after may 1st.</p>
<p>martini, u prob will get into Cornell, ru def leaving Wisconsin if u get in anywhree?</p>

<p>i agree</p>
<p>But last year I only used the common app.. i wanted to apply to schools like columbia, berkeley stanford but i didnt because I couldn't be bothered filling out the application... lazy me</p>
<p>Quick q: Do we have to call and ask if they have all of our materials or is there a part in the online application that shows that? I didn't see any thing...</p>
