Santa Clara University Transfer 2018

@Mangorind86 do you receive an email saying that your status on ecampus changed? and before your status changed to accepted, was your status “To Do List Complete” ?

@parkalpha I never received an email regarding ecampus status. I just check daily bc i’m impatient lol.

My status did display “To Do List Complete”

I made sure I submitted everything needed ASAP

Heard that there’s a new batch of decisions going out this week. Good luck!

Has the new batch of decisions gone out ? Its Friday today. Hoping to get today.

I got my acceptance decision on Thursday (may 3). I submitted on April 11.

I’m still waiting, but I applied April 13. Do you think that applying for the school of engineering could have hurt my chances?

Wow! Congrats Parkalpha. I applied on April 5 for Business and waiting for decision. Hopefully, many of us would get the decision on Monday.

so i applied on the day of the deadline (4/15/18) for Mechanical engineering. I dont have the best GPA 3.0 but i have lots of extracurriculars. what do you think my chances are? also my fiance obtained her MA from SCU do you think that may help?

@adeskmr from what I was told from the staff there when i visited, the school of engineering is the most competitive and difficult to get in. Sorry to say, i think applying there does hurt your chances.

However, it hasn’t been too long since you applied, so i would expect a late decision if I were you

@parkalpha congrats!

@ponce1432 I’m guessing we might have some time to wait and not such a great chance. My brother also graduated from SCU and I believe that helps, but very little. We both have potential so I wouldn’t cut our losses yet.

@Mangorind86 Really? I would guess Leave school of Business is harder, because SCU is know for that. Well its sad to hear that, but I will continue to see what will happen. Thank you for the information!

@adeskmr her sister also went there. And I interned during the summer at SFSU and they published our work. Although we didnt do much I hope it helps. Goodluck! Super nervous

so my ecampus is saying No Active Application. should i be worried

@ponce1432 Does it still say that? If so I recommend calling them or emailing them. I checked mine and nothing has changed sadly.

@adeskmr it now says unable to load homepage DEFAULT_LP. think i will call soon.

Hello everyone, reading your responses about also awaiting transfer responses has helped with the anxiety of waiting. I am really nervous about my results since the school is so competitive, and Santa Clara seems like such a wonderful fit for me. I was hoping to give some stats about me and my background, to see how well my chances are of getting in. I applied on April 10, and am still awaiting a response.

-Graduated high school at a private, Catholic, Jesuit high school (school closed, so was unable to provide transcripts).
-Went to Saint Mary’s College (another small, private, Catholic, Lasallian College). Attended one semester, but had to take some time off due to having an extensive back surgery. Obtained a 3.6 GPA
-Attended De Anza College online (took a class recommended on the transfer portal) (4.0 GPA)
-Attending Foothill College online (about 8 classes total will be complete at the end of the quarter) (4.0 GPA)
-Attending a local community college for math requirement (Currently, have an A in the class).

I attended these different community colleges as the best way to take transferable courses for Santa Clara in a shorter amount of time. I am not sure if this will hurt my chances.

I have a lot of extracurricular (also from high school)
-President of Choir, lead vocalist
-Leads in plays/musicals
-Secretary for a non-profit organization
-Dance student
-Girl Scout, now a volunteer
-Family Work (Help with family business)
-Paid Job (Administrative Assistant)

Other Details
-1st Generation College Student
-Aunt previously graduated from SCU
-Latino background
-Previously applied/waitlisted to Santa Clara (in high school)>

I hope this is enough info. I really am not sure where I stand, so was hoping to get an opinion about it. Good luck to everyone else waiting for a response.

Got accepted today for Business

Still waiting to hear back from SCU. I was already accepted to UC Berkeley and UCLA so I’m obviously not going to attend SCU but still interested in finding out if I was accepted or not.

I have two AA-Ts in political science and sociology. My transferable GPA is 3.6 with 70 units. 18 units are honors. I am a re-entry and student veteran.

Got in today as a psych major

Congrats to everyone who got in!
I got into the school of arts and sciences today, but I’m still deciding on what I would major in… probably either biology or neuroscience w/ a public health minor :slight_smile: So far, I have also been accepted to the College of William and Mary and I’m waiting to hear back from Tufts and USC

How long did it take you guys to get you transfer credit evaluations once you were accepted?

@maloma You certainly sound like a great candidate! I got in and I didn’t have nearly as many extracurriculars, or any family/religious connection to the university. I also went to a lot of different community colleges and I don’t think it hurt my application. Good luck!
