@bettycrocker03 I believe you must send in the hard copy printed off and filled out by your professors (from the Common App).
@viewsfromthe6 ok so there’s no way to send it online?
@bettycrocker03 I am almost certain there isn’t, but to be sure, I would contact the admissions office.
If I have to send the midterm report to multiple universities, is a photocopy is acceptable?
@va2pittsburgh yes thats what I did and I’m pretty sure thats the norm
Just a heads up, they only require that you send in your final official transcripts after you complete your application for transfer.
Hello all! I am new to cc and applying to a few schools. I figure I might as well post my stats and would love some honest feedback, no matter how harsh. I do not want to have any regrets when applying to schools. So, I am applying to schools that I know are a big reach.
Objective
HS GPA 3.0 – poor, I know:( I explain why in personal statement
MI Community College – 3.84 ( not including Mid-Term report, which is a 4.0)
Large upward trend
Fall 2015 – 3.668 (A- in Introductory french 1, but A in Intermediate 1 and A in IM 2 on MD report)
Winter 2016 – 3.82 (A- in introductory french 2, but A later in Intermediate 1 and A in IM 2 on MD report)
Summer 2016 – 4.0
Fall 2016 – 4.0
Winter 2016 – 4.0 on mid-term report
I have All A’s except for 3 A- and a B- in Fall 2015 in honors comp-1
I received an A in english comp-2.
My course load is very rigorous. It is as hard as it gets for a CC. Several honors courses
A’s in honors micro, honors gov, intermediate french 1, statistics, macro, and several more. I will graduate with an Associate of Arts this semester with honors.
ACT–didn’t submit
Personal Statement
I poured my heart into it. In hs, both my parents lost their jobs, my home was foreclosed, we relied on others for housing, my family went on food stamps, and I worked at McDonald’s to support my family. I explained how this resulted in my fascination for all things related to government and as a result, wanting to major in poli sci with the intention of becoming a lawyer. I also explained how a higher education will allow me to support my mom. I think it explains my life, motives, and why I am doing what I am doing. TBH very proud of it. Overall 9.5/10 IMO
LOR-- I have three. One from French, Econ, and head of honors program and experiential learning. I believe they are all excellent.
EC’s – I will only list college.
Work at McDonald’s for several hours a week
Elected president of leadership club.
VP of an academic club
Volunteer work with Dementia Patients
Very involved in my chabad. I’m very active in the Jewish Community
Leader of Jewish youth group
Research this summer at U of M–Ann Arbor
Again, I realize this is not a chance me thread, but would love to interact with all of you about the transfer process

Recommendations: None Yet, I am asking my sociology professor and he always tells me I that I am very smart and that I should pursue multiple career paths. I finished my 50 question plus essay and double checked it, all in 15 minutes to prove I am really smart to him. He should give me a good recommendation. (Telling it how it is…)
Might also ask my ECON Professor for a letter of REC (My Major)
anybody’s SIS account still say they haven’t received their high school transcript?
If your SIS shows as complete, does that mean your app is done?
@ILRmaybe Yes, it means it has all of the required components and will be reviewed.
@viewsfromthe6 including the financial aid?
@ILRmaybe I actually don’t know about financial aid, sorry.
Same! I sent mine January 18th and it is still marked as incomplete! I sent another on March 27th but I’m still worried.
How can I tell if UVA has received my midterm report?? Anybody know?
Unless you had the shipping option that allowed you to track your mail, then I would suggested calling or sending an email.
@WhoTouchedMyTaco Thanks. Do you know when we should expect decisions. Also is the UVA thread usually this quiet?
Pretty sure that the school indicated that decisions will be released on or about May 1.
My prediction: April 28th. It’s a Friday and I believe they almost always release decisions on Friday.
