Transfers

<p>At least one of the people I know who applied as a transfer has heard, so transfers should hear pretty soon. They were called (as was I) and accepted because they needed to take a summer course so don't freak out if you haven't heard. They probably are calling today and you guys should get your letters (if you don't get a call) within the next couple days. Good luck, let me know if you need anything!</p>

<p>A friend of mine who got in as a transfer this year asked that I post her stats, so here you go. I hope they help those of you who are still waiting nervously!</p>

<p>I am transferring to the University of Notre Dame for the 2006 fall semester as a sophomore.

My intended field of study at Notre Dame is economics in the Department of Economics and Econometrics. I am a white non-legacy, non-donor and will be receiving financial aid.</p>
