Out of curiosity, for the people who have seen approvals issued today, when was the transfer request submitted? thanks

Was at the Caps-Isles game 5 last night with my 14 yo daughter...what a fantastic game! DS (he of the scholarship) is a Ducks fan, so hoping for a Caps-Ducks final

Well, they do offer a dual-degree program with another school, whereby you do 3 years of physics there then 2 years of engineering at UVA, and end up with a master's in engineering. So, I guess that's a "proper" engineering program, I don't know. His mind is pretty made up, but the financial...

Suppose you were offered scholarship to 2 schools, one of which you were not admitted to (and the other of which doesn't offer a proper Engineering degree). So your intent is to transfer the scholarship and go to a third school. Do you accept the scholarship to the school you weren't accepted...

Just received the paperwork yesterday (dated 10APR arrived 21APR). Am assuming that he will send his acceptance and his transfer request basically simultaneously, but am having him check with the gaining ROO before he submits anything to get his advice. The letter wasn't very detailed as to the...

I don't know...tavern3771 had results at least 10 minutes before I did (and I was hitting refresh every 10 seconds the whole time :eek2: :D)

It just changed!!!! I kept hitting refresh and suddenly it changed! Now, it's to a school he wasn't accepted to (Michigan, which is a very expensive OOS school), so now to try to get it transferred.
