<p>I'm applying as a transfer student, and I sent in my application in the second week of March for an April 1st deadline. I still haven't heard back. </p>
<p>Granted, there was a hold up with my paperwork from both the college I attended this past year as well as my high school, but I'm just wondering if any other transfer applicants haven't heard yet...</p>
<p>Where are you transferring from?</p>
<p>I sent in my transfer application in February and heard back from UConn a few weeks ago. A few weeks ago I posted this on this particular forum:</p>
<p>In February, I put in an application for transfer admissions at the University of Connecticut. During high school, I did well with a solid GPA. I took AP Classes, Honors classes and scored above average on my SAT score. </p>
<p>Currently, I attend a small public school in Southern Connecticut. Last semester I got a 4.0 and the admissions staff told me they were withholding their final decision until they saw my midterm grades, I got solid A’s and sent the report in. The main thing I’m concerned about is time, and space. I don’t think my application was sent in to late, I think I was right on time–I know people who applied after me and already got accepted. </p>
<p>I know people who applied, got all of their transcripts/applications/essay in and they heard back within the week. Sounds weird, but I was just going by what I heard from my friends. UConn this year has also received a very high volume of applications this year, and with all of the snow, they were delayed in getting their decisions out.</p>
<p>As long as you hit the deadline, I think you’ll be fine, and you should hear back soon. Don’t hesitate to call them and check with them, ask them if they received everything. I had to call and tell them I sent in my mid-term grades on a Thursday, the admissions staff member told me they were entering my grades in “as we speak” and I found out that following Monday. They’re strangely unpredictable with their admissions process. </p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, what is your GPA at your current University? How did you do in High School? Make sure you’re checking the status online also, they could be asking for additional paperwork towards your application.</p>
<p>I’m applying from Fordham University Rose Hill in NY. My GPA there is a 3.14, my HS GPA was a 3.7, I did well on my SATs, took AP/Honors courses, and was extremely involved in both high school and college. I even have credits at UCONN because of ECE classes I took in high school</p>
<p>I applied to UCONN last year and was waitlisted before being admitted, but it was because I applied to a small program. This year, I applied to larger programs in hopes of being accepted. </p>
<p>I received a letter about a week after I applied saying they hadn’t received my high school transcript, but it’s been two weeks since then. The only other thing I could think that’s delaying this is that I applied to the nursing program as my first choice. The deadline for nursing had passed, so they said they’d consider me for my second choice. Other than that, I can’t understand what’s holding up their decision.</p>
<p>odoylesrules16, may I ask why you are transferring from Fordham? Lots of my D’s friends are going there.</p>
<p>@sportkidmom - It’s actually a few reasons. The major one is that they don’t have a nursing/allied health program (only pre-med), which is what I’d like to go into. There were other small things, like the cost was extremely high for me even with financial aid, and I felt there wasn’t a whole lot to do on campus. Granted, the city’s a subway ride away, but that’s going to add up financially…</p>
<p>Also, this may be considered a minor thing, but Fordham’s hospitality and dining services are in need of a major reboot. It’s not why I am transferring, but it made me rethink why I’m giving them my money. All of Fordham’s major dining services completely failed health inspections miserably, and the dorm that I lived in was overrun with cockroaches. So, not a dealbreaker, but it definitely made me think twice.</p>
<p>odoylesrules16, thanks for the reply. Your reasons are certainly sound. I hope my D’s friends know what they’re getting into. I wish you the best of luck!</p>
