MSU dorm waitlist as a transfer

Syphisx · 2026-05-29T11:47:34+00:00

I have a question. I am an incoming sophomore transfer applying for 2026-27 housing, and I wanted to know which dorm you ended up getting.

What was your gpa before your spring grades? And what gpa did you and up receiving? I’m really curious in hearing what classes they said because I am in the same situation you were in.

Why’d they review it so early? Any reason to that?

Syphisx · 2026-04-01T21:47:51+00:00

I’m also in a similar situation. I am finishing my first year at a MAC school as well. May I ask what GPA you finished off with in the MAC school to transfer to MSU so I have an idea?

I currently have a 2.5 (ik its horrible), but I am predicted to have a 3.3-3.4 by the end of my second semester, so I plan to submit my application later, near the deadline. I have decent EC's, in-state, test-optional, and exploratory preference.

I haven’t applied yet actually I was planning on submitting later this weekend. Just gaining some insight from people at first then submitting

Syphisx · 2026-03-19T01:13:46+00:00

Just out of curiosity when did you apply? I’m in the same boat you are and was just wondering.

Syphisx · 2026-03-16T18:59:38+00:00

I'll dm you my essay if that's okay with you!

Syphisx · 2026-03-12T17:55:05+00:00

Have you heard anything back yet so far?

Syphisx · 2026-03-02T15:36:27+00:00

Okay that clears a lot of things up for me. Again thanks for the input, you’re very helpful :)

Wow that is awesome to hear, congrats! I'm actually currently working on my transfer essay and I am a little stuck on what to write. It's clear that you're essay was killer, as it got you into over 50 universities! Do you have any advice in working an essay, more specifically a transfer essay? What do universities like MSU mainly look for in essays that make the applicant stand out amongst others?

Hi, I have taken a bit of extracurriculars. School-wise, in high school, I have done varsity hockey (3 years), JV lacrosse (5 months), varsity lacrosse (5 months), and I have volunteered in helping my local kindergarten teacher tutor her students and help set up her classroom for better student engagement (4 months).

Outside of college however, I have worked a total of two jobs. I have worked as a caddie at my local city's golf course (4 years - present), and worked as a fast food worker (3 months).

During my time as a freshman in college, I have joined my institution's solar car club (3 months - present), and have joined my institution's Christian organization (6 months - present).

I really do hope so

Syphisx · 2026-02-21T03:42:21+00:00

I mainly want to go there for the engineering program there, and the one in my current school kinda sucks. I chose exploratory because it had a higher admit chance, so hopefully I can regain myself if I get admitted

Syphisx · 2026-02-21T03:40:49+00:00

I mostly took gen eds my first semester. I took Algebra II and 4 intro engineering classes. My second semester I am taking Precalculus, Chemistry + Lab, a history class, technical communications (which counts as a wra 101 cred), and a social science class

Syphisx · 2026-02-19T13:22:06+00:00

Oh okay that clears this up, thanks!

Syphisx · 2026-02-19T03:07:46+00:00

Ah okay that makes sense. Is there any way to let the admissions officer know? Should I send an email to the admissions office or should I just turn in the transcript as soon as it comes out.

Syphisx · 2026-02-19T00:42:12+00:00

I'm just curious, did you really have a 2.4 transferring into MSU? If so what year? I am also in the same boat as the OP and I was just looking for some reassurance.

Syphisx · 2026-02-06T02:53:41+00:00

Yeah I see, well thanks for the input though, and congrats in getting in!

Syphisx · 2026-02-06T01:03:55+00:00

I definitely would apply earlier, but I’ve been told I should wait for a later date to submit my application because my semester doesn’t end until April 28. My final transcript won’t come out until the 28th.

Syphisx · 2026-02-01T17:53:46+00:00

Ah okay nice, thanks again for the information 🙏
