<p>Hi guys, I know it's still a little early, but seeing as spring transfer applications are due October 1st, I thought I would make a thread. So is anyone else applying to transfer to ND this spring? I guess we can just do the typical stats sharing that is common in the transfer threads here on CC. I'll go first.</p>
<p>Current School: Emory University
Year: Sophomore

10. (During summer 2014) I undertook an independent study with the permission of the Jerome "Buddie" Ford Nature Center in Alexandria, VA to catalog the insect species found at the Dora Kelley Nature Park</p>
<p>I know the numbers aren't very impressive, so I hope that my essays will really show my passion for anthro and linguistics, and how ND caters to my specific interests in those fields. I applied to transfer this fall but I didn't make it, so let's hope I make it this spring. Cheers!</p>
<p>Hey, hows it going? I just sent in everything a couple days ago. I cant believe the wait to hear back is so long! Here are my current stats.
Current university:Appalachian State University, sophomore
Applying to the College of Arts and Letters
Major:Political Science
Current GPA: 3.92
High School GPA: 3.75
Extra Curricular Activities:
Army ROTC cadet- I am currently on scholarship with the Army (hope to continue at ND)
Team Captain of the App State Equestrian Team
Army Honor Society officer- I coordinate volunteer hours between army cadets and the local Habitat for Humanity branch and Hunger to Health coalition
I also volunteer weekly at both of these non profit organizations (kinda goes without saying)
Latin tutor within my current University
Member of the swing dance club and team- not very helpful haha
Manager at LawnSpecialist over the summer- organized outdoor lighting and irrigation contracts and made sure they were finished on time- have been working there since i was 14
Volunteered at Play for Kay breast cancer fundraiser, Relay for life, Multiple on campus blood drives. Also Participated in all of the events after helping set up.
Worked as a server over the summer also
i was going to list Flag Football captain at AppState on the common app but decided against it.
Worked with a ND admissions counselor over the summer to ensure I had the first year of studies complete. </p>
<p>I am not really expecting to get in, but i knew i would be kicking myself later in life if i never even tried! I am trying not to expect much especially coming from a pretty unknown school, but i am surprised you didn’t get in on Fall decision. Emory is a good school and a 3.7 is not bad at all, especially with your extracurricular stuff.</p>
<p>Just wondering, how many credits do ya’ll have under your belts? I’m applying with 37, although I know that spring transfer applicants usually have more.</p>
<p>Were we supposed to turn in our AP scores? I didn’t see anywhere in the commonapp that asked for it, but I have 11 classes worth of APs that I could transfer over…</p>
<p>I forget where I saw it, but there was an official percentage somewhere that ND accepts about 33% of transfer applicants. If I can find the link I’ll add it.</p>
<p>@redy44 Not exactly. I received a communication from admissions asking me for two more additional supporting letters. I hope that it’s a good sign. I probably won’t be able to send my most recent transcript until December 24 because my current school takes a while with grades. I hope I will hear back from ND before January 5. </p>
<p>I just got a call today I have been offered a spotty ND in either the spring or next fall semester!!! My stats were posted in the beginning of the post. Goodluck to all awaiting their letter!</p>
<p>@rdlp123 yes I was luckily offered on campus housing. I have heard that it is easier to get on campus housing in the spring semester rather than fall. Probably because of the large amount of incoming freshman who are guaranteed housing in the fall. </p>
<p>@redy44 This is nerve-racking, my grades aren’t complete yet. Sigh. How long after your submitted your final grades did it take to receive your decision?</p>
