Anyone want to list their Majors?
Have any transfers heard anything?!
Of course every year is a little different, but generally it seems to take one or two more weeks to get answers for transfers. Best of luck to everyone out there wearing out the F5 key on their keyboard.

still decision awaiting, i asked on reddit and on here and i didn’t hear any transfers getting in yet, unless i’m gonna be waitlisted or rejected. historically the transfers got in later than freshmen, so i’m hoping for the best

Do we think admissions for transfers will be released this Friday? I wouldn’t assume they would send it out during spring break?
Cal Poly spring break was March 24-28 last year, and decisions started to come out on March 28, so I think they could come out again during spring break but I hope sooner.

I emailed the admissions just asking if there’s any updates and they said to most likely wait until that very last weekend leading up to April 1st. I have a feeling it won’t be till that very last Friday

No Decisions have been released for Transfers yet. 
It will be any day, including Spring Break since Admissions is still working during Spring Break. It’s only the students that are on break.
8 days or less from today.
