Wash U Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

Transfer Students
1

Hey guys, I haven’t seen a transfer thread for wash u fall 2020 transfers, so I guess I’ll start one. I’ll put in my stats here! This is my reach school for transfers. I already got into uiuc, I am waiting to hear back from Northeastern University, UVA, and Wash U. Here is a bit about my app

I applied to wash u as an incoming Junior for the fall 2020 sem. I applied as a psychology major. I wanted to know if you guys think I can get in with these stats.

  • College: Dominican University (small private 4 year institution in Chicago)
  • College GPA: 3.93/4.0
  • HS GPA: 3.1/4.0
  • SAT: 1140
  • HS class rank: didn’t do class rank
    EXTRACURRICULARS IN COLLEGE
  • Dual Sport athlete for highly recognized d3 soccer program, also on the tennis team
  • work experience: camp counselor for 2 years, busser at walker brothers pancake house, elementary math and english tutor, FMSC volunteer, Best buddies volunteer, psychology club
    EXTRACURRICULARS IN HS
  • Dual sport athlete (soccer and tennis), co-founder of table tennis club, FMSC volunteer, camp counselor

Achievements in college: Dean’s list every semester so far (x3), midterm report is a 4.0, NACC soccer conference champions and conference tournament champions, NCAA soccer tourney participant, tennis team MVP of the year (local),

I don’t think they will look at my HS stats as much now that I have 2 years of college under my belt. I currently go to a private 4 year university out-of-state (Dominican University). I am also a hispanic male if that changes anything, not sure how they are in diversity, heard its mostly white though.

I realized that my stats in high school were not great. I definitely have shown tons of improvement academically and I have become a lot more mature. I think colleges (like wash u) will like to see such a great improvement. I sort of wish I wrote about that in my essay, but it is too late now. Still think my essay was very solid, I would say I am a decent writer.

I also applied from UIUC, and don’t really have a feel for what they are looking for either. You sound great though!

Not much activity on the Wash U thread. Has anyone heard if some decisions have been released?

4

I haven’t heard anything, and their website hasn’t been that helpful either. I spoke to my admissions counselor back earlier this month, through, and I think the plan is for admissions decisions to come out mid-May. Don’t take my word for it, though.

5

I haven’t heard much either. The waiting game is pretty brutal.

There are two Wash U Fall 2020 Transfer threads - I just posted this on the other one:
My daughter’s Wash U portal has a new link to an update. She did not get an email. I can’t click on the link until she gets up :slight_smile: so everyone should check their portals.

Rejected! No biggie
