<p>I have given the best shot in filing transfer application and all sorts. The decisions are coming out soon and i am sure some of you are as excited as i am at this moment. Let's us pray together and I hope all of us will get into the most exciting place we want..</p>
<p>I hope so too. Stanford has the best Sociology Dept. around, particularly their Economic Sociology focus track, which I want to study. No other college that I've looked into has that type of program.</p>
<p>I haven't even heard from Stanford in terms of if they received my application.</p>
<p>They usually send out email concerning missing document in Mid April. So i guess if you don't get contacted, your application is already completed. You can call them and double check that again if you want. They are pretty friendly answering you on phone. Best of luck!</p>
<p>when do we find out? do they notify us by email?</p>
<p>I think it's usually during the third week in May. i hear that this year it might be closer to June though. No e-mail.</p>
<p>have any of you guys tried making an SUNet ID and trying if it will be approved, pending, or rejected? i've heard rumors that they update it before decisions are released online/snail mail... and the site was down the other day, so perhaps they are updating it? I don't know, just making theories thats all, anything works to kill time til the end of may!!</p>
<p>I'm hoping for a May 19th decision.</p>
<p>Since you people applied for transfer admission...i have just a general question...
See (take all major schools say Top 25 into account) if one gets a good GPA somewhere like 3.9-4.0 (sort of all A's and 1-2 B's) and is transferring for junior standing is it you know sort of likely that a college might accept the kid....i mean i know nothing is sure but is the uncertainity a bit less than it is when you apply for freshman admissions where any GPA does not mean anything....</p>
<p>I believe that as long as your GPA is at least a 3.5+, that student is in good shape. I don't think that a few B's will kill an applicant's chances anymore than a student who has straight A's. Sometimes, profressors rarely give out A's to begin with.</p>
<p>I agree.. but i think the GPA issue mostly depends on the difficulty level of the school you are transferring from. So as long as we are in the range, the only thing matter is the essay responses and the recommendations.</p>
<p>Those things are probably true for most schools, but with a school like stanford that doesn't take very many transfers, I would think that you'd need a very high GPA, as well as ECs and a good reason for transfering. Oh yeah, you still need high SATs.</p>
<p>On the SAT issue...does it look equally credible if I take the SAT in college and get a high score...or is it just not the same as getting a high score while in high school...</p>
<p>Personally,
If you're applying after the 2nd year, then the SAT's shouldn't matter very much since you have already taken enough college classes that would extend over 3-4 semesters. However, the admissions officer could use the test results as a way to eliminate applicants whose GPA and test scores are below the school's average test ranges before they read the essays and recomendations. Sometimes you never know what goes on in the mind of a Stanford Admissions Officer.</p>
