Has anyone checked the myCoyote page and checked the transcripts page? I logged in yesterday and it says one of my unofficial transcripts was never received, but I had put it on the application so I'm a bit confused. I already emailed them about, but have't heard back. Does anyone have the same problem?

you got your coyote is number already?

yeah, they sent it to me yesterday morning through gradadmissions email. It wasn't an acceptance letter though. It just said you can activate your mycoyote account now.

Out of curiosity does anyone know how they decide fall and Spring? Is it like first 100 people (just example) go into fall then next 100 people by points go into Spring? 
also does anyone know if you get into fall but wanna be Spring (vice versa) will they allow you to trade?

I believe that I read it was random?  But I can't find where I saw that.

From what I remember, the professor said they will be taking the top 100 or so and will be splitting it. So, the top 50 kids will be placed in fall then the other 50 (51-100) will be placed in Spring.

Are they no longer doing the 80-100 per cohort ? I remember recently they opened up fall and Spring to have more people in each?

I'm pretty sure they admit 180 students. Because the first class we have to take is 90 students, and since they accept for fall and Spring it would be 180 total then I would assume.

Wow. That's good news. Way more than other schools! + I'm sure they have an alternate list. I know a bunch of other local schools have already done orientation and started the process.

Just an FYI, they released a new notification date. On the GWC website, it says they will notify us no later than June 20th now... I wonder what happened, but the anticipation is killing me!

I know! I was shocked but maybe there is things happening behind the scenes out of there control like clinical placements etc. They have a lot more students to plan for this cohort I'm sure! It just sucks since it's getting so close to the Fall semester starting so for those of us admitted for the fall it will be a very quick turn around! I am hoping they notify us sooner than later so we can all plan accordingly.
