hate to say it but its def not true about the applying order thing. i know of lots of people that applied after me that have heard back with acceptances. the only explanation i can think of is that they're reviewing each college's applications together and maybe the ones we applied to still need to be looked at

I don't think there really is an applying order. I sent in my application the day before the transfer deadline, and got accepted this week. I applied to the school of science since my current major is biology.

Agreed Orb. I applied to the business school, deadline app as well. So we shall see. There is still plenty of time left, but I wish denials were on an ongoing basis too, and they don't appear to be.

i just found out from a letter in the mail i was denied. i had a 3.86 gpa for the fall semester with 13 hrs from odu. i am taking 16 this semester. in high school i had a 4.0, but no ap classes. good luck to the others and congrats to those accepted. i now must wait to see if i got into jmu.

keithb250

true what did your app page say?

truess1010

it had current program for a while and that was all. i never got anything about being denied on my app page. i got a letter in the mail today saying i was denied.

keithb250

true how long did ya have the current program?

truess1010

i had it for about a month. as soon as they got my transcripts it was up.

keithb250

Okay so pretty much same as me. Well I wish if I was getting denied I go it like you on Saturday. So I guess they are sending out accepts and denials. If your at ODU, your in Norfolk I suppose, I am in Hampton, so I guess I am still in for the time being. My month hits this week so....

Thanks for the info

truess1010

no problem. good luck!!

I got accepted on the 31st with Sophomore standing (I guess? There was no where on the page that indicated it, but only 57 credits transferred. And only about half of those will apply to my degree, anyway.) but still haven't seen a letter in the mail.

Now I'm just worried about the Financial Aid they're going to offer me. They updated their awards section with some pretty hefty Pell Grants. But only Pell Grants, nothing else. Not even the Va Tech Safety Net.

We shall see.

FWIW, I was 3.51 GPA with 63 credit hours and a 1460 Reading/Math 2080 total SAT. I had a decent essay, in my opinion, and nothing much in the way of volunteer work except with the Virginia Renaissance Faire.

Now, what major are you? I have a feeling the acceptance timing has to do with college and major, but I'm just trying to make sure.

strawberry28

teach i think were in the same boat, u don't have either the current program box or transfer evaluation right? what school/major did you apply to? i applied to the college of architecture and urban studies for a major in environmental policy and planning

teachibi

Yeah, last I checked I didn't have that stuff. I'm trying to be in Communications, which is also a caped major. Maybe the capped ones are the slowest.
