I transfered from a community college in my state to an out-of-state 4-year uni but withdrew half way through the my only semester there for medical reasons. I was told that the Ws I received in all my classes were “medical” Ws and, therefore, would not count against me in the case of a transfer like regular Ws would. I’m now back at the community college and plan to transfer again.
I spoke to a counselor at my school and he told me that I do not even need to tell the school I’m transferring to that I ever attended the 4-year uni at all since I didnt receive any grades. Now, I would play it safe and just send the transcripts anway, but I’m afraid they won’t specify that the Ws were taken for medical reasons. I don’t believe my application has a personal essay of any kind, or even anywhere to write notes in case I need to clarify something. I don’t want to just send a list of Ws with no way of explaining them.
On top of all of this, the application is due in 2 days… The school’s website said undergrads could transfer for winter quarter but when I called asking where to find the winter application, they said they only accept apps for fall, so I’ve had to scramble to make sure everything was in order so I could apply by the fall deadline of Nov 30. I don’t know if I can submit it on the 30th or if the 30th is the day they don’t take any more applications. The 30th is a monday, so I can’t call the admissions office before the 30th to ask this question, and I don’t know if the application will be closed by then, which is why I’m asking it here.
Thanks in advance
