Winter Transfer Thread

Or haven’t gotten any word?

@LP117343 I am in state and my transcript just loaded with an ID but im scared to get my hopes up!

If it loaded for you you’re in :slight_smile: congrats!! How many credits did the people accepted have? What were your stats?

Should i worry? Nothing yet…

Used the link and confirmed enrollment. 60 credits sophomore. On my app I declared my first choice major as biochem, no second choice. 3.87 college GPA, 2100 SAT, 30 ACT. transferred from in state university, not from community college.

@lmaowhat Literally saaaaaame stats hahahahaha^^^^ except 3.9 and I did undergrad research

Did you guys have any extra curriculars?

Extra curics were weak. No clubs besides high school varsity lacrosse. I did study abroad to Japan, Guatemala missions/ relief trip to build houses. Helped churches etc. Also idk if this will help but here’s the beginning excerpt of my personal statement if you want to compare. Topic was write about an academic hardship.

Regardless of what many might think, staring at the horizon and drinking warm ginger ale will not always cure car sickness. The (x city) skyline will forever be burned into my memory, and my blood sugar content still has not reached homeostasis. While some students may struggle with procrastination, and others with organization, my biggest struggle was the drive to school. After graduating 8th grade and receiving an acceptance letter from ( x prep school), I was elated. I would be getting an excellent education as well as a foundation to start planning my career goals.

However, the hour long drive every morning put a damper on my optimism. (x city) traffic lived up to its reputation and it made sure to remind me every day. Horn blaring, stop and go horror haunted my existence, and while my embellishment may take away from the credibility of my story, if nothing else the drive left me with a nasty stomach ache. I soon began to associate school with nausea and feelings of sickness, and dread filled my mind when I woke up in the morning. I would sit through class trying to keep my breakfast from making an appearance, and would fall asleep from exhaustion.My academic performance was obviously affected, and my junior year I was pulled out of school. My grades were poor,and my only saving grace were my slightly above average test scores. I spent the next months wondering what my next step would be. I was facing depression and extreme self-doubt. I knew I couldn’t stay out school forever, but I was apprehensive about going back to high school.

Extra Curriculars weren’t great. I played varsity lacrosse, went on a study abroad program to Japan, went on various relief/missions trips to South America. Nothing crazy like some other people’s I’ve seen. Also, if it helps, here’s the beginning except from my personal statement. The topic was write about an academic hardship.

how long does it take for your status to update after your transcript loads? & my extracurriculars were research, teaching assistant, part time job, and sorority.

Awesome! I wonder if people with 90+ credits will be notified later unless they have already been accepted to specific departments. I stand at 107 cc credits and open major and I’m starting to get worried.

I have about 120 credits and heard back yesterday, but only my AP credits have loaded so it currently is only showing 35. In terms of stats, 3.73 GPA but from a 15 ranked university, VP of my sorority, multiple internships in my field, and leadership roles in 4 other clubs on my previous university’s campus.

@lmaowhat @coffeedrinker12 what uni are you guys transferring from? (if u dont mind my asking)

I am transferring from Washington State University

@maria799

Okay I was reading the thread from last year and there were a lot of people accepted with flat out 3.0-3.2. also the UW kept giving people different info about when decisions would be sent. It seems like everyone got their update by the 20th of December even though the office said they would send them out by November

@keylin have u been accepted yet?

@LP117343 No… Have you? I was reading and I think that if your status hasn’t updated or transcript they literally haven’t decided yet

@Keylin Nothing. Besides an email from fasfa

@Keylin Have you applied to UW before?
