<p>So my application status changed to this today…</p>
<p>Your application is complete, all of your required materials are here, and we are reviewing your credentials. A decision will be available here as soon as one is made.</p>
<p>so does that mean I will hear within a week or something or am I going to have to wait a while idk if this matters but I’m a transfer student</p>
<p>You should hear soon. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thanks RJabari</p>
<p>I just noticed the guy above me asked the same question lol well this is odd cause I applied like two or three weeks ago and it seems like a lot of people applied a long time ago and still haven’t heard back I hope that’s a good thing but with my luck properly not lol</p>
<p>Anyone care to chance me as a Transfer student </p>
<p>Out of state student </p>
<p>Im at App State now </p>
<p>Major Recreation, Park and Tourism Management</p>
<p>High School GPA 3.0 weighted (I was a terrible student freshmen and sophmore year I had like a 2.4 so need less to say I didn’t even bother applying coming out of hs)</p>
<p>College GPA 3.2 (im taking 17 credits now so the total amount is 61 credits)</p>
<p>I personally think you have a shot since you’re a transfer student. Next year will be my first year as a college student so I’m obviously not a reliable source. Once again, GL.</p>
<p>Ye I saw some people got in with a 3.04 and 3.4 gpa from a community college so my thinking is I have a better chance since I went to a 4 year school but idk anyways RJabari congrats on getting in ! and thanks for the help</p>
<p>Hailtomyredskins, let me know when you find out and I’ll do the same. Good luck dude, I really don’t see how you wouldn’t get in with a 3.2 and how I wouldn’t get in with a 3.75 overall but you never know!</p>
