Transfer applicants' thread!

<p>Wait, no problem, I called and they had it. Just an online error, they said.</p>

<p>.. obviously, anyone could have told you that</p>

<p>Actually, there are threads where people's stuff is lost after it had been confirmed, and they had to resend it.</p>

<p>Anyway, it's kind of annoying, because the status still hasn't been updated and I feel like they might discard my application if they only look at the status, and not the actual file.</p>

<p>I am currently a freshman at Stony Brook University, prospective Physics major, Russian Language and Literature minor. I have a 3.81 gpa. I took Calculus 2 last semester, 19th Century Russian Lit, Classical Physics 1 w/Lab, Philosophy. This semester I am taking Honors Classical Physics 2, Multivariate Calc( Calc 3), 20th century Russian Lit, Introduction to Research Course, I have a Rice University REU this summer.

Was on Swimming team in HS. I was accepted at Bowdoin, RPI, Haverford( which I am reapplying to), and Mount Holyoke, last year ( bad financial aid from all this is why I am going to a state school).

<p>Well, fmv2011, you are applying to Columbia. Hopefully you didn't mention "everything Yale embodies" on your app! ;)</p>

<p>Best of luck to all of you!</p>

<p>I sent my transcript like 2 months ago, and it still hasn't shown up as received. The woman that answered that phone told me not to worry about it since they were taking a long time processing everything, and they would email if they were missing anything, but I am still nevertheless worried.</p>

<p>same with me but i know they have it because everything i sent with it in the manila is checked off including the hs transcript lol</p>

<p>no worries.</p>

<p>i was in the same situation. they have now received everything. it just takes some time.</p>

<p>yeah it said received the other day i got an email from them saying they just started.... ugh our wait is longer than everyone elses!</p>

<p>THEY JUST STARTED REVIEWING APPLICATIONS? Man and the wait continues. sheesheroni</p>

<p>Can someone tell me about this tracking site...</p>

<p>this? <a href="https://admissions.columbia.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://admissions.columbia.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Does anyone know yet when we find out? I can't see anything in plain view on the website...</p>

<p>Also, someone mentioned getting an email...I got no such thing! Though it says on the website that all my documents are in order....hmph.</p>

<p>The email was geared towards FA but mentioned that they had just begun the transfer application process (received on April 16) so you didn't apply for financial aid right?
and decisions could come out as early as May 10 (I base this off previous years) and no later than May 15</p>

<p>Yeah, that's what the 2006 thread indicated - a May 10 ending to our misery.</p>

<p>Yeah nevermind, I didn't apply for finaid. Thanks for clarification!</p>

<p>the wait is killing me!!!</p>

<p>so, are we looking at may 15th?</p>

<p>cool. thanks man</p>
