Submitted my application on 9/05 and the status moved to being reviewed by admissions on 9/24. Fingers crossed!
I know this thread has been dead for a while, but if anyone sees this, does anyone know if they’ll actually make us wait until the end of December for a decision?
I also have a question, was your status the same all along during the wait so far? Did it move out of the WILL BE reviewed status to give you an indication it actually was under review and admissions was actually looking at it?
@CAmom01 Mine has been saying that my application is currently being reviewed by admissions ever since I first submitted it.
I know that in last years thread it said that a group of students were able to hear back by the beginning of December, but I’m not sure if that was all of them or just a select few
@buckybuddy21 I would say almost of us, as seen by posts from past years.
*all
I didn’t get a notification or anything that it was moved to review, but it’s been that way since I submitted it also. Still no update. 
Hopefully we get an update soon
It seems that the 1st wave may come out around the mid of this month, seen by previous posts on spring transfer.
Is there any problems that my credit hours are too much. I am willing to wave some credits.
@spencerrrrr do you think they will send out the 1st wave this early? I was thinking not until the first weekend of December, because in previous years students applied earlier than September
Hello folks!
Can anyone tell me if I even have a shot at getting accepted?
I’m from Minnesota (out of state, I guess)
Econ Major
College GPA: 3.67 (48 credits)
HS GPA: 3.65 (a few APs and Honors)
HS extracurriculars:
Student Council (Honors letter)
School Newspaper
Soccer Team
…
Most of you guys have some very impressive stuff on your records, which only worries me more lol.
Hope we all get accepted!
P.S. Isn’t December a little late for registration and such?
@buckybuddy21 Not sure, but definitely hope so… I think they may send offers to admitted international students first because they need more time to evaluate transfer credits.
I’m just hoping we get a decision soon. I’ve been so anxious lately about it. I applied my senior year of high school and was accepted, but made the dumb decision to go to a different university. I’m so anxious that they won’t want to accept me a second time ugh.
