Hey, everyone! I made this for anyone that wants to talk about how they’re getting ready to apply in the Fall as a Spring 2019 transfer. I’ll start by telling you guys a little about myself and anything potentially related to admissions! I am a white female from New Jersey with Tourette syndrome (it doesn’t really matter but it’s a fun fact about me) and I am currently studying biology at a New Jersey community college. I applied to WM as a high school senior and was waitlisted. I stayed on the waitlist and did not receive an offer. I started at the community college in Fall 2017 Because WM is my top choice and I wanted to go to an inexpensive school before transferring. In case you were wondering, I didn’t put my Tourette’s on my application. Maybe I will next time to help the admissions team get to know me better. Now, for some stats!
