RD Transfers

<p>Accepted! email sent at 11.00 this morning (sunday, may 21st)</p>

<p>congrats on the acceptance</p>

<p>would you mind posting ur stats cus I'm thinking of applying as a transfer next year to UChi</p>

<p>copied & pasted from earlier thread</p>

<p>Stats:
Current School: University of Arkansas
College GPA: 3.7 (4.0 first semester, just now got final grades, so they won't see them yet)
H.S. GPA: 3.95
Tests: 32 ACT (sent ACT only, but other shows on transcript), 1370/1600 SAT I, no SAT IIs
Essay: I think the essay's good, but VERY short. It was kind of intended that way, to get a big spark in every sentence, but at sub-300 words, I'm not sure how it will be received. In hindsight i would have made it longer.
Recs: 1 very good, 1 unsure (unseen)
EC's: main one is overseas travel... i studied in England my jr. year in HS, and i spent a summer in The Hague, Netherlands.</p>

<p>Waitlisted @ Dartmouth as a transfer</p>

<p>Wow congrats! That must have been a great suprise. </p>

<p>On a sad note, this could mean two things for those who have yet to hear from them: they havent looked at your file, or you were rejected and they would rather send an email later or notify you snailmail first.</p>

<p>they were saying monday so maybe they just finished it early. optimism is a great thing! good luck to everyone. i have to see how they treat finaid now.</p>

<p>Congrats man, I got the same email this morning! So, will you be attending?</p>

<p>congrats frosty and samwise! what were your stats samwise?</p>

<p>Has anyone else gotten in? I'm really worried. There's no other school I'd rather go to.</p>

<p>Copying Frosty's format:</p>

<p>Stats:
Current School: University of Michigan
College GPA: 3.93
H.S.: 9/~120
Tests: 33 ACT
790/770/750 SAT II (didn't send)
Essay: Things got busy and I didn't put in as much time as I should have. I was honest, and I think my personality/desires line up pretty well with UofC. My biggest concern was they would think I was telling them what I thought they wanted to hear.
Recs: 1 very good, 1 standard good (guessing)
EC's: Physics olympiad semi-finalist in HS, some other state academic awards. All-state trumpet. Not much yet in college
Didn't apply to any other schools</p>

<p>After reading your other post, I'm rooting for you to get in pip. Definately would like to meet you at UofC.</p>

<p>Aw, thanks samwise....</p>

<p>congrats on the acceptance samwise...I'm with you pip, U of C is the definition of a dream school</p>

<p>for me it depends on how much $$ they give me. we had a 14-15k income last year from starting a new business, but i hope they just look at the current year. the others don't look that bad unfortunately. (yeah, pulling for being poor... feels awkward)</p>

<p>jacknjill: Your mail box is full.</p>

Yesterday we sent emails to around 70 newly admitted students. If you're one of them, we have an announcement: Congratulations! And we have another announcement: since we were late in getting our decisions out, you have until June 15 to decide to enroll; not until June 1. If you have any questions, please email <a href="mailto:transfer@bobball.uchicago.edu">transfer@bobball.uchicago.edu</a>

<p>got a letter of acceptance from wharton today. i was expecting a rejection from there so i dunno what to do now.</p>

<p>uchicago - accepted
dartmouth - waitlist
wharton - accepted</p>

<p>almost 3/3... darn!</p>

<p>oh well, still a nice position to be in</p>

<p>waitlisted.</p>

<p>I'm quite suprised to be even waitlisted with my stats.</p>

<p>Waitlisted.</p>

<p>i am too... both of you were quite spectacular. still a chance!!!</p>

<p>Thanks, Frosty. I'm still busting my hump to get in.</p>

<p>nspeds, I'm assuming those 70 are the set number of admitted students, right? So since I haven't gotten an email, does that mean I've been rejected?</p>
