I'm opening this up because there are some Spring 2012 results. However please note:

Wait to post FINAL results for ALL of the schools you applied to as that will make this thread a much more valuable resource for future transfer applicants. Partial results will be deleted by the Moderator.

If you want to ask another member a question PM them.

Comments, questions, discussion, etc. will be deleted and repeated OT posts will result in a warning & TO.
