hey gumbymom thanks for all the info.
Not a single transfer applicant has stated that heard yet so fingers crossed it hasnā€™t been released yet. Is there any chance for movment over the weekend ? Has that ever happened? Or is just wait until next week nowā€¦

23

Nothing yet here either. Hopefully transfer acceptances just havenā€™t come out yet.

24

Iā€™ve been reading around other threads here and on reddit, havenā€™t seen a single transfer admission yet. I think its safe to say no transfers have received word. Hopefully we hear soon!

Normally SLO will not release over the weekend but they are behind in their Freshman decision release so anything is possible.

Contacted admissions today to ask if there was any particular day we should expect transfer admissions and they just said anytime between now and April 1. Hopefully itā€™s closer to now.

Ahhhhā€¦ the boilerplate line. ā€œBy April 1st.ā€
I compiled the list of decisions over the last 5 years and posted them in Message #2 to give everyone an idea.

But as youā€™ll see from my list, decisions are really unpredictable from year to year.
Thereā€™s no way to gauge when.
Just keep hitting that F5 button on your PC to refresh. :joy:
And donā€™t think it stops at 5 PM. My list shows that decisions came out at 10 PM.

Office wonā€™t budge from the ā€œby April 1ā€ script

yup i texted today too and got the same response

32

I have had a gut feeling that the next wave will be Friday seeing the historical data. What do yā€™all think?

I have the same feeling based on previous data as well. Iā€™m just glad I was able to stop looking at the portal so much.

Hopefully the letter comes in when I least expect it.

34

I need to stop myself from looking!!

Itā€™s a hard habit to kick thatā€™s for sure! I was only checking it so much as this has been a nerve wracking event for me. I sort of gave up on SLO after being rejected out of high school, but years later here I am throwing my hat in the ring again.

36

i got rejected when i applied out of high school too, never hurts to try again right! best of luck to you :slight_smile:

Is there anyone majoring in liberal studies?

38

I wonder if they donā€™t send the next freshman wave, or transfer acceptances today or Friday then they will send them out next weekā€¦ Also, does anyone know if they send transfer acceptances/waitlist/rejections on the same day or in waves too?

39

Last year I remember transfers received their acceptances on the 21st and then I didnā€™t receive my waitlist till Friday of the following week so the 27th is when I received my waitlist.

iā€™m doing psychology which is in the school of liberal arts if thatā€™s what you mean
