<p>My daughter has applied to a few schools as a sophomore transfer - University of South Carolina, Ole Miss and Mizzou.</p>
<p>I am sure it varies by college, but if a student meets the freshman admission standard, as well as having a 3.59 college GPA, what is likelihood of admission decision based on just that information? Do many schools wait to receive spring grades?</p>
<p>We are concerned about securing housing and being admitted in time for cheerleading tryouts, which would be before her spring grades would even be ready.</p>
<p>I only looked at USoCarolina, since the application deadline for fall is in July, I’d assume that they have rolling admissions. If so, notification time and whether or not they wait for sp grades will likely depend on where in the transfer pool she is. Candidates that are easy to determine, eg. top or very low applicants, will get a decision earlier, and candidates in the middle of the pool will likely have to wait awhile.</p>
<p>You might want to ask on the individual college forums for those schools (under Alphabetic list of colleges) or give the schools an email/call to get an idea of when she might hear.</p>
<p>Yes…been to those boards. Not super active - particularly from a transfer perspective. We are visiting Mizzou on Friday and have a meeting with with transfer admissions counselor so will ask about their practice. She meets their automatic admissions criteria for freshman based on SAT and HS courses, so hoping that helps. Daughter emailed Ole Miss admissions to check that application was complete as they have her college transcript logged in as partial. Will touch base with South Carolina.</p>
<p>It seems awful to have to wait until June for a decision and then try and find a place to live and people to live with by August.</p>
<p>Just found out she was accepted at Ole Miss. </p>
<p>And University of South Carolina sent a spring grade request letter. I think think really takes it out of the running. I honestly don’t know how you are supposed to wait until beginning June for a decision on attending in August. At least as an OOS student leaving home for the first time. I can’t imagine finding housing at that point. And I know on campus housing is VERY unlikely. </p>
<p>Praying on Mizzou. Just visited. She meets their freshman admit standard and had a great first semester at CC.</p>
