Chance me, please! (Vanderbilt)

Transfer Students
1

<p>Ok, I'm new to this site so I hope this is how it works! What are my chances of transferring to Vanderbilt from UGA? Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Freshmen at the University of Georgia</p>

<p>High School:
average: wow, I already can’t remember, but it was somewhere from 92-94 I think
SAT: CR 640, M 660, W 650
I took 3 APs (Lang, Chem, and Latin) but I failed the Chem exam…</p>

<p>First semester classes (I’ve already got credit at UGA for English 1101, 1102, and 2111 through AP and joint enrollment)
Calculus I for Science and Engineering (CALC 2250)
Latin: Vergil’s Aeneid (LATN 3010) (I got credit for 3 semesters of Latin from my AP exam)
Foundations of Performance Design (DRAM 3300)
Elementary psychology (PSYC 1101)
Physical geography (GEOG 1111)
= 16 hours (I don’t know if that matters)</p>

<p>In high school, my extracurricular activities included orchestra, stage crew, Latin Club, and Latin Honor Society. At UGA, I’m in HEROs.</p>

<p>I don’t have many grades yet, but so far in college I have 1 A and the rest are Bs… I know that’s not good, but I think I can get my grades up!</p>

<p>Is there any more information you would like to know?</p>

<p>not really sure, Vanderbilt is a really good school but we’d have to see your first semester GPA</p>

3

<p>ugh… 3.41… what now? :/</p>

4

<p>classes this semester:</p>

<p>Intro to political science (1101) 3 hours
Calc for science and engineering II (2260) 4 hours
Advanced readings in Latin (Cicero’s Tusculan Disputations) (4400) 3 hours
Intro to bio for non-science majors (1103) 3 hours
bio lab (1103L) 1 hour
women’s glee club (2710) 1 hour
theater lab (2040) 1 hour</p>

<p>ur freshman GPA is a killer, idt you have a great chance</p>

<p>I don’t think you have a very good shot at arts and sciences.
your major matters as well ( for example, vandy prides itself on having a lot of female engineers so this could be an advantage)
also, i heard their education college is easier to get into than the other colleges</p>

<p>well it seems that your ec’s are very weak…i wouldnt discount a 3.4 for vanderbilt, but it definantly hurts your chances…if your intent on transferring for soph. year, then just do your best with what you can control…essentially, your essay</p>

<p>ok, thanks… is there anything I can do to help my chances now? =/</p>

<p>Maybe re-take the SATs</p>
