Villanova transfer question

When can I expect to hear back as a transfer student?

Do you remember approximately when you heard back last year?

Villanova does not start considering applications until after spring 2017 grades are in. They told me they wouldn’t even look at my application until June which makes them after my response date for many many schools.

Really? @philbegas. Damn, they are my first choice, I might have to choose another college then.

This is a direct quote from an email I received:

“Transfer decisions do not go out until late Spring or after your official college transcript arrives showing your Spring 2017 grades.”

My college doesn’t do its spring grades until about June 4th.

Does anyone have an update? My son is waiting to hear as well. In the past it was rolling admissions. Waiting till June seems crazy. I guess he’ll have to accept another offer and wait it out. Also, why would they want copies of mid-term grades if they want final grades? The only reason to ask for midterm grades is because most schools give offers prior to the end of the semester.

I received an email from the transfer coordinator. He said VSB applicants will be EVALUATED after may 20th because that’s the graduation date. Beyond crazy.

Yep. My transcripts won’t be ready until around june 5th… By then I’m going to have all my ducks in a row for Drexel. At least they’re in the same area.

Gonna go full asshole here, Villanova is worth waiting for if your other choice is Drexel

The thing is, I’m taking student loans for my undergraduate education. Because of Drexel’s paid co ops I will be able to pay down the loans before I even graduate. But Villanova is not known for giving a lot of transfer credit OR financial aid for transfers. I’m not counting on them.

I saw Drexel yesterday and the buildings are pretty nice to be honest. I don’t know about academics but at least you know the campus is good

Has anyone heard anything yet? My son said when he logged on that it still shows they haven’t received is final transcript which he had sent two weeks ago.

Did he request it 2 weeks ago? They probably just got it a few days ago and they’ll need a few weeks to process the stuff.

Yes, he requested it from the college he is currently attending and it was sent out that day since the grades were in . Just getting a little anxious here!
