<p>I am considering transferring to Wash U I think I want to wait to transfer until the fall but I don't know if it is harder to be accepted in the fall than it is in the spring. Does anyone know anything about which semester it is easier to transfer into?</p>
<p>im trying to transfer, are you a freshman now? It depends on that.</p>
<p>I'm a freshman now at Tulane</p>
<p>im a freshman also and i really want to transfer! Personally, i think transfering fall 07 is better they actually get to see ur grades that way. What college do u want to transfer into?</p>
<p>For the majority of universities, more slots are available for the fall term and so you have better chances then.</p>
<p>i want to transfer into olin, where do you go to school now natgran?</p>
<p>Welcome transfer applicants! I applied for Fall '06 admission last year and am now a happy junior transfer at WashU. I hope you all are at least thinking about starting the application, as the sooner you fill out the app, the sooner you get the decision back and the better chance you have for on-campus housing. If you have questions, let me know!</p>
<p>I go to Saint Louis University now, Im interested in majoring in art and maybe minoring in business?
Kjanebarnum- if im appling for transfer fall 07' how soon will wash u start looking at transfer apps. How soon should i get mine in?</p>

<p>kj- when did you apply to transfer and have you heard that it is easier to be admitted in the fall or is there any difference of which semester is easier to transfer into?</p>
<p>NatGran - Last year they started looking at applications on January 15 with an April 15 deadline to apply. I had my application completed and submitted by December 1. I received my decision in mid-February. I would recommend applying as soon as you feel your application is complete and prepared to the extent that you would like it. Remember to ask for your recommendation(s) early enough so that your recommenders have plenty of time to fill them out and get them in. </p>
<p>JB12790 - I applied to transfer as a fall applicant and had my application completed by December 1st. As for when to apply, I honestly would recommend a fall application, especially if you are currently in your first year of college. Not only will your orientation and social relationships be better, but the admissions committee will have a full semester of college grades to look at.</p>
<p>Thx Kj that is really great info that I had no idea about. I was unaware that you could get your decision so early...except the only problem would be that I'm applying to 8 colleges and many of them have a deadline of March 1st...they review the apps and send out decisions at around the same time (mid-April) and so, if I was lucky enough to get into WashU and have a decision sent back early like you, I'd pretty much have to make a decision really quickly without knowing what other schools might offer, huh?</p>
<p>What a dilemma....</p>
<p>Woah... 8 schools? where else are u applying? whats ur first choice?</p>
<p>i read online that if they accept you, you must send a responce within 2 weeks.</p>
<p>thats fine by me</p>
<p>Haha...a lot of other places. MY List: Wesleyan, Brown, University of Texas-Austin, Cornell, Univerisity of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, New York University, Bates College, Georgetown.</p>
<p>See, the problem is that I like WashU a lot, but my #1 choices are Brown and Chicago. So I definitely wouldn't want to give up the possibility of attenting my #1 choice if I get lucky enough to be accepted, but I also wouldn't want to pass up WashU if I didn't know the decisions from my other schools.</p>
<p>That's why I'm guessing it'd be best to send my app in...like early to mid March? That way I'd probably get a decision back in early April (which is the deadline for WashU) but I'd also be getting a bunch of other responses in. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if they accept a large number of students through this sort of "rolling admissions" process...because if it's going to be harder to be accepted if I wait until the deadline (or only several weeks beforehand) then I'd go ahead and take the chance by sending in my app earlier. </p>
<p>I guess if anything, if I get into WashU I'll know my chances are pretty good at my #1 choice as well, which has a similar acceptance rate (talkin a/b Chicago, not Brown).</p>
<p>Suggestions? I'm sure someone has been through this before...</p>
<p>That is a real dilemma brand_182. I think the catch is that University of Chicago, as far as I know, did not take any community college transfer applicants last year (I assume that you are a comm. college student). I'm not trying to discourage you, just letting you know to really pump up that application. As well, if you wait too long to apply to WashU, you may not be able to get on campus housing. They send out housing applications according to when you responded 'yes' to their offer. However, if you aren't that worried about getting on campus housing, then I would say that your plan seems pretty good so far.</p>
<p>Hmm...well I hope that isn't the case. I was told by UChicago that they accept a decent # of CC students each year, but if they typically don't, maybe I can change all that. :D</p>
<p>Either way, I definitely don't want to be left out of housing opportunities at WashU if I end up going there, so I'll end up applying there earlier than the deadline. The earliest, then, is January 1st? </p>
<p>J/w, isn't WashU supposedly friendly towards CC transfer students? I've heard that they have a scholarship set up just for CC transfers...is that true?</p>
<p>I have met several students transferring from community colleges, as well as students transferring from Ivy institutions. Admissions looks for a higher GPA from community college students than they do from applicants from a four year school. Here's the link about the scholarships that the university publishes, however I've heard from several people that they were awarded different scholarships. <a href="http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Applications_Transfer_transfer_scholarships.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.wustl.edu/admissions/ua.nsf/3rd%20Level%20Pages_Applications_Transfer_transfer_scholarships.htm?OpenPage&charset=iso-8859-1</a></p>
<p>Sweet I'm in PTK so that's good. Yeah, I read the part a/b CC students need a B+ average to be competitive enough (which is no problem) whereas 4-year university students need only a B...which is very understandable.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link.</p>
