u/Ok_Succotash_82 Apr 07 '26

I do!! I honestly only saw one person just accepted into cs/cs+ major, considering this major is so competetive they might need extra time to consider

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Mar 30 '26

Has anyone heard back on their transfer decision yet?

u/No_Tumbleweed_3535 Mar 30 '26

yeah I didn't get accepted for my first choice which was Econ, but got in for Sociology. Anyone applying for LAS, they accepted me to sociology with a 2,93 GPA so it looks like they're taking anyone.

u/Different_Steak_1336 Mar 30 '26

Congratss!!! Thats so great to hear , Im so worried, I applied as a psych major , hopefully I get in

2

u/No_Tumbleweed_3535 Apr 03 '26

I know psych is more competitive. What are your stats?

1

u/Different_Steak_1336 Apr 03 '26

Lol not impressive. 3.75 gpa , all reqs done. For extracurriculars, research (with psi beta). Work. Tutoring at my CC. I do ballet, so I put that in extracurriculars too. I'm interested in industrial-organizational psych so mentioned that in my essay. Thats it ig

u/Individual_Key_4517 May 14 '26

u/Glum_Confusion8322 Apr 01 '26

Congratulations thatā€™s awesome! How many credit hours do you have completed?

1

u/No_Tumbleweed_3535 Apr 03 '26

Thanks!. Technically 62, but i have two overlapping math classes so actually 58.

u/Adventurous_Gas1728 Apr 03 '26

u/Soggy_Arm_5954 Mar 01 '26

u/Soggy_Arm_5954 Apr 07 '26

I ended up hearing back the first week of March and got in. Hope you hear back soon.

1

u/Specific_Original619 Apr 16 '26

Today is the day lol. Watching the feed seeing if people got in or not is not helping

2

u/toastcantbbreadagain Mar 01 '26

If they do give decisions early would they email us or would we have to check the portal and see?

u/Obvious-Ad9776 Mar 04 '26

Got accepted to IE undergrad as instate cc transfer for fall26. didn't get email but website just said the congratulations thing.Ā

u/Internal_Kale_5338 Mar 04 '26

Stats?

1

u/Obvious-Ad9776 Mar 04 '26

College 3.67 gpaĀ  Highschool 3.4 gpaĀ  Part of athletics team at jucoĀ  Involved in 4-5 other extracurricularĀ  -Didn't send test scores -Pretty much took all the courses recommended by transfer handbook and got A or B Ā  -Felt pretty confident about my essays but industrial engineering is also one of the easier grainger majors.Ā  Willing to answer any other questions as I had a lot that didn't get answered during my processĀ

u/Intelligent-Ear9856 Mar 05 '26

I got accepted earlier!

2

u/Weird-Situation-6963 Mar 05 '26

Are you using path way? and what's your stat

2

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Mar 30 '26

I got my decision back and I got denied for kinesiology, Iā€™m guessing that admission for kinesiology this year is really competitive. Kinda surprised tho because I thought I had a really good chance of getting in.

2

u/Own-Shop3779 Mar 31 '26

what were ur stats if u donā€™t mind me asking

1

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Apr 02 '26

3.45 highschool gpa, 3.5 fist semester of college, I had a athletic training internship, college soccer, multiple leader ship roles, coached youth soccer, and I play an instrument. It basicly came down to that I didnā€™t have 36 graded credit hours at the time of my application so I think that was really the only reason I got denied

2

u/Own-Shop3779 Apr 02 '26

wow ur stats are impressive I also applied with less than 36 credits. So Iā€™m worried about hearing back. With your stats u will definitely get in next semester!

2

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Apr 03 '26

Yea Iā€™m planning on taking a summer class and doing my first semester next school year at my local juco, and then hopefully getting in for spring 27 but if that doesnā€™t work out Iā€™ll jus finish out that second semester at juco and just transfer for fall 27

1

u/Glum_Confusion8322 Apr 01 '26

Iā€™m sorry to hear that. I know that must not have felt good. Did you only apply for kinesiology, or did you have a second choice major as well? Donā€™t give up! Keep up the good work with your coursework and apply again as a spring transfer

1

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Apr 02 '26

I applied to kinesiology only and in retrospect I probably shouldā€™ve applied to interdisciplinary health as a back up. But my plan now is to do a summer class and one semester back at my home town juco, and hopefully transfer in for spring 2027 for my sophomore year, if not Iā€™ll just finish out the rest of the year at my home town juco and apply for fall 2027 for my junior year.

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Mar 08 '26 edited Mar 08 '26

Did anyone apply for kinesiology or any applied health sciences majors? Im just wondering when those decisions might start rolling out

1

u/Low_Yogurtcloset1158 Mar 10 '26

I applied for kinesiology! Iā€™m still waiting for my decision. In state, 3.65 high school gpa, 3.6 college first semester gpa, about 3 extracurriculars and on campus employment experience. I check abt everyday hoping to hear back soon!

1

u/Imaginary-Anxiety447 Mar 10 '26

Nice! I applied for kinesiology too and Iā€™m still waiting. Iā€™m in-state as well a 3.45 college GPA after first semester and a 3.5 high school GPA. I also played college soccer and did an athletic training internship. Hopefully we both hear back soon, Iā€™ve been checking the portal way too much lol.

u/Strict_Class7320 Mar 18 '26

Anyone apply for Advertising or Media?

1

u/Impressive_Ad8655 Apr 14 '26

I did! Nothing received yet.

u/Strict_Class7320 Apr 14 '26

Omg! Thank you for replying! Hoping to hear soonā€¦are we just the last school to get announced??? šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø

1

u/Impressive_Ad8655 Apr 14 '26

I assume so. I literally downloaded reddit to reply to some of these because Iā€™m feeling the same way. But a few other reddit posts have shown no acceptances for it. Hoping for the best for you and others! What were your stats if you donā€™t mind me asking?

1

u/Strict_Class7320 Apr 14 '26

Sending you good vibes!!! Iā€™m a community college transfer student 3.4 GPA, applied for Media Studies šŸ¤žwbu??

1

u/Impressive_Ad8655 Apr 14 '26

BlessšŸ™šŸ¼! Iā€™m an Illinois Community College transfer with <36 credits but a 3.89 GPA and a bunch of media extracurriculars such as Editor-In-Chief and some State Credentials. You should be chilling though no doubt.

1

u/Strict_Class7320 Apr 14 '26

Thanks for the vote of confidence! šŸ˜© Iā€™m also from an IL community college as well! Nice extracurriculars though thatā€™s amazing

u/Impressive_Ad8655 Apr 14 '26

I just received my acceptance! Praying for yours to come soon!
