Still Pending

<p>No, they didn’t ask me for a progress report…maybe they will later on…or not.
Where are you transferring from?</p>

<p>EJM209 I hope you get in too:) Best of luck. I just can’t wait to hear back. It’s really unfortunate that we have to wait so long.</p>

<p>I’m also coming in as a transfer and haven’t gotten anything. My status is still pending. My friends who applied straight from high school said:</p>

<p>“they dont send an email. they list your status on web advisor, and the status changed to approved. then like two weeks later i got the packet in the mail :)”</p>

<p>so im guessing the people who get the decision complete around now are getting wait listed and people who find out later are being accepted or rejected. If you are applying for the film school, you need to remember there aren’t a ton of spots and your file needs to go through Chapman and Dodge as well. </p>

<p>hold in there guys, we will find out soon enough.</p>

<p>My daughter received letter today and was wait-listed. “Decision Made” was posted on web site on Monday.</p>

<p>Are there any other psychology transfer majors?</p>

<p>Here is where it gets really annoying. My son got his waitlist letter on April 16th. It was dated the 9th (again, what sort of mail service are these people using? 7 days for a letter to arrive!) In the letter it says you have ten days from receipt of this letter to state your intentions. That means if he wants to craft a thoughtful letter and get feedback from the admission people, perhaps the regional counselor, he has three days (two of which were a weekend when admissions are closed) to make up his mind how he wants to approach things and get the letter out. I find this completely insensitive to the kids. As someone else said, what does this say more broadly about the college, how it is run and how much it cares about these young people? It certainly isn’t their shining hour and has completely disillusioned me. And I won’t even go into the horribly cliche, dreary, saccharine videos on youtube of accepted students- there I would really spew!</p>

<p>thebonj, that is just terrible!</p>

<p>If a short time period is required for a response then it should have been sent FedEx or by email or posted on the web portal.</p>

<p>All I would say is:</p>

<p>What does this tell you about the way Champman is run and what does this tell you about whether your son would be happy there if admitted.</p>

<p>My daughter mailed in her ‘no thanks’ card so hopefully that will result in one more add from the waitlist. :)</p>

<p>It took her 2 days to do this because she really likes Chapman and feels it was an accomplishment to be accepted to this great school!</p>

If it says that he has 10 days from receipt of letter that means he has until April 26 which is a week away, not three days.</p>

<p>Sorry, not receipt of the letter, date of the letter… so three days, two of which were a weekend, and the weekday he received it, friday, he got the letter when our postman delivered at 3PM. So he had until this morning to state his intentions. Just shoddy, poor admissions management.</p>

<p>I would think if you call someone and explain the dates, you could get more time. I’d try it, at least. Good luck.</p>

<p>Our waitlist letter was dated April 9, received on April 15. It also said he had ten days from the <em>date of the letter</em> to accept a place on the waitlist. He emailed the specified party on the 15th, the day the letter was received and–get this!–received an autoresponder notice from the specified party that said he was “out of the office until April 12.” (April 12 being three days earlier.)</p>
