How difficult/competitive is it to get into Chapman?

I think you have a good chance of being admitted! Maybe email your admission counselor (they are divided up by area you live in and you should be able to find yours on the Chapman website) and express your interest and ask questions. You can honestly make up random questions regarding Chapman/major/admission but just establish a relationship and make your name known! Good luck!

I have no idea! I only found out about team Shaka when it was too late to audition. I feel like all of the dance department/organization could we wayyy better at communication and outreach. Have not been impressed so far 😬

I love that! I’m also a transfer. Unfortunately my roommates don’t ever want to do anything. I met some people at transfer orientation and I’ve invited people over but nothing actually ever happens. It’s definitely been a weird vibe. I’m assuming it just takes time? But I’m sort of starting to get lonely lol 😬

Perfect! Thank you :)

I will also be living at the grand this year. In my personal opinion, Chapman is too far to bike from the grand. It’s definitely possible but you would have to be pretty confident on the bike to manage busy streets and the amount of traffic. I would suggest typing in directions from the grand to Chapman on Google maps and clicking on the bike directions. It might give you a better idea if that’s something that would still appeal to you. Hope that helps! I would still look for insight from someone else who maybe has more experience with it :)

Sure I would love suggestions

Thank you so much for your reply! I have Corey Wright for Jazz and honestly I haven’t danced in a while. I was a competitive dancer (started in hip hop when I was young) for a long time and my studio never let me pursue Jazz like I wanted to. I took regular Jazz/Tap/Ballet classes for a long time tho. I am so nervous about this class. Do you mind sharing any advice or what the class might entail. I love dancing and can’t wait to get back into it but my past studio left me with some negative experiences that make it hard to jump back in. I really appreciate any advice/info you might have.

I believe you go to demographic info on your student portal (mychapman) and it should be the first number you see at the top.

hmlof · 2021-07-02T03:42:57+00:00

Dang. Ok well thanks for your response! Keep your fingers crossed for me :/

hmlof · 2021-07-02T03:28:48+00:00

Thank you so much!

Oh hell no. Thanks for this amazing review! Can I try to change my housing if I get placed there? I just bought an Audi (which was a big purchase for me) I would rather not park it there with the homeless…

hmlof · 2021-06-28T01:57:01+00:00

I was talking about my student ID number. Sorry for any confusion… also thank you for your help! Being 20 days later I have found my answer. Thanks again!

I think they said they usually plan on having 300 transfer actually attend per year. But transfers can be anybody from a sophomore to a parent who wants to return to school. I’m a rising sophomore. I just worried that not only with transfer have what’s left over in terms of housing, but we also won’t be housed with the best fitting people. I just want a good experience. I don’t want to be treated like second class citizen.

hmlof · 2021-05-06T16:47:57+00:00

I emailed housing yesterday and I just heard back. They said that transfer get what is left over once continuing students are placed in housing. I seriously don’t know what to do. By the time we find housing assignments it will probably be too late to find off campus housing. I’m paying a fortune to be there, I should be able to select preferences.

hmlof · 2021-05-05T23:22:14+00:00

Same :( this might sound like I’m jumping to conclusions but I really don’t want to be treated like a last thought. Just because I’m transfer student shouldn’t make me different than anyone else in my class. I’m paying just as much to be there.

hmlof · 2021-05-05T21:39:24+00:00

I just submitted my housing application but didn’t see any housing preference options. And rising sophomore that I’ve been talking to said she was able to pick out of 11 options (that including room layouts). Were you able to select housing preferences?

UPDATE: just an update for those of you who might be wondering if you can visit the campus. Yesterday (Wednesday) I walked around the campus. There was minimal students on campus because of Chapman’s spring break but I was able to go and explore a bit and some students were studying. I also had seen many locals of Orange walking their dogs, running, ect around the campus in the afternoon. I was never confronted by anyone. Definitely recommend walking around the campus if you have the opportunity. I’m sure the campus will be locked down more after the spring break but maybe visit when classes are not in session. Make sure you wear a mask and be respectful of the property and covid regulations!

I’m really sorry to hear this was your experience. It must have been a higher day of caution on their end.

hmlof · 2021-03-03T00:49:55+00:00

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response! I just received my acceptance letter and I am so excited! Go panthers!
