@Crivelo

Thanks!

I’m a current freshman but I applied for early admissions last year. I was deferred and then waitlisted.

Highschool:

GPA Weighted: 4.1, Unwieghted 3.9

SAT: 1300

Took about 7 APs overall, and 3 with transferrable credit (4+)

I never did NHS or anything of the sort or with HS clubs, I mostly worked but my astrophotography and portrait artwork hobbies took my time.

College:
30 Transferrable Credits that include transferrable APs (I just barely hit their recommended amount as a lot of my APs and a few classes I took in the semester weren’t transferrable)

GPA: 3.65

My advisor was Rachel Taylor, I actually emailed her quite a few times throughout out the last 3 months about transferrable credit, requirement clarifications, etc

So ultimately, I just scraped by. I barely had enough credits to count as sophomore standing, I had just 1 rec letter, which wasnt academic, my grades were good, all As and 1 B in both highschool and college as of now, and my essays were pretty strong. I applied before, got waitlisted and submitted my application a bit later with a decision a week later.

@iamomi Wow! That sounds remarkably similar to me.

In high school I had a 4.0 weighted 3.8 unweighted.

I took 9 APs

My college GPA is a 3.86

I have roughly ~43 transferable credits.

I was also waitlisted after applying for freshman admission last year! I’m really hoping I can be admitted.

Congratulations, enjoy your accomplishment!

Did you apply with a major in mind?

83

Congrats. Goes to show that determination and persistence count.

84

Congrats! I’m waiting on my answer too. I have similar stats and applied on the 12th…

@Crivelo

I originally wanted to major in Computer Science, I was planning to do it through College of Engineering, I got a little too eager and didn’t want to wait so long, since there are more requirements, and went with applying to LSA.

I think maybe the biggest reason for having a decision so early and quick for me is due to me being in state possibly, but either than that, I have no idea.

But if I was admitted, I see no reason you shouldn’t be either, based on your stats since they seem better than mine lol.

@RedCar27

If I was admitted, I see no reason for those with similar and better stats like me to be admitted, but then again, it is college admissions and my credits seem to scrape by and I was admitted.

Based on reading everything in the thread and everyone’s comments and stats including yours, I’m very confident about your status.

Thank you and best of luck to you, no matter where or what you end up doing!

87

Is it possible to re apply for winter 2021 even if you’re already a sophomore this year?

88

@parmar540 are you from out of state?

89

anyone got their financial aid package?

90

Where on the portal does it say when they received your transcripts and other information and when the application was confirmed?

91

I wish all the outer state applicants luck. Lol even if you get in there isn’t much aid you can get.

92

I haven’t gotten anything regarding financial aid, but I did complete the newly required CSS Collegeboard application about 3 days ago, so maybe it needs to still process.

93

I’m so anxious. I hope some people hear back this week

94

My friend got into today LSA. I was pretty surprised since it was the beginning of the week.

95

@rejectedfornow oh really? yea I usually feel like they release later in the week. Do you know when your friend applied?

96

Do they email you letting you know your application status/decision has been decided or do you have to just keeping checking the portal?
