Deposits of $500 were due toward the start of September, so I'd assume that anyone that didn't want to accept admission to the program has already been weeded out. So, I'd say chances of finding an open spot on the wait list are slim. As for transfer credits: That list is to provide examples of applicable courses; I'm pretty sure they take credits from anywhere as long as they meet criteria.

I would recommend calling for answers to questions, the email thing can often be slow with the volume they are dealing with, especially if they don't have a form letter response for those waiting. For those hoping to get accepted even though their prerequisites were not completed, my experience was that I applied for the June 30 admission date with two summer courses pending and was not reviewed on that date. All other materials were in on time and I was not looked at for the June 30 date. Once the summer grades were in, they informed me (after I emailed an inquiry and waited two weeks) that I was due to be reviewed on the August 30th date. So, I would not count on them giving you the benefit of the doubt on a pending course when there are other students with all of the requirements finished who are also applying. I'm not trying to crush any hopes, just trying to share my experience in hopes it can help people make decisions. Also, I did get accepted with a 3.5 GPA undergrad at Wesleyan, B to A range in the prerequisites. Having taken courses at both Wesleyan (private, elite liberal arts school) and the state schools, I can confidently say that you are better off taking the prerequisites at a community college and getting the 'A' for mediocre effort rather than the 'B' for extraordinary effort, as all grades look the same on paper regardless of institution. My research methods was "Empirical Methods for Political Science", so they allow quite a bit of stretch on that one. They were flexible with the nonstandard biology/genetics curriculum from my school. I am a male and a veteran so I am uncertain as to how that might have affected my application for reasons of diversity, but I figure it deserves mention. In communicating with the staff, I'd suggest finding a teacher that can answer questions for you as I get the feeling ----- as well as the cein@uconn address are often completely flooded with mail. Once I got one reply from the cein@uconn address, I saved the respondant's private email and sent emails with questions to her (though infrequently as not to annoy). If you frame your email like you would a formal letter (with date, header, "dear sir/madam", well written, signed), I can tell you from experience you are far more likely to get noticed than a one liner signed "first name". Hope all this helps future application and inquiry efforts!

I heard back last week with a positive for avery point. I heard via email and was told to expect paper mail. Hope this helps.

Do you mind me asking who you are talking with? It's so hard to get in touch with anyone from the program!

Mjenkins- Did you get considered with the June 30th group, or earlier? My stuff went out mid-June, but haven't heard yet.
