<p>I’m a transfer for LAS and I haven’t heard back yet. Everything was submitted on January 31st so I’m a little nervous. Maybe every department is different?</p>
<p>Perhaps the applicant pool was larger for your intended major. I applied to chemistry, by the way.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s possible, I was Economics. I’m not quite sure how they do it so I’m just waiting here haha.</p>
<p>hey, for those of you who applied for transfer, what’s your admission type? I heard some students are “transfer junior”, some are “transfer sophomore”. But mine just remained as “transfer”… is that normal???</p>
<p>If you’re talking about when you check your status online, for admission type mine says transfer junior.</p>
<p>Mine says transfer too.</p>
<p>@Sabrina: Mine says transfer junior; not sure why yours says just “Transfer”.</p>
<p>QUESTION: How long did it take for you guys to get a formal letter, from the time the website was updated? I was accepted last Thursday, and haven’t even received an email…</p>
<p>The letter was dated the day my decision was posted (or very near it) and I received it about a week after that (and I live in Illinois).</p>
