Do I have any shot at Vanderbilt?

<p>If I have 38 credits(3.9 gpa) completed by the time I apply, how much will they look at my hs transcript and SAT? 2.8 hs gpa, 1440/2400 sat. Should I give it a shot this year or acquire more credits and attempt to get in next year? </p>

<p>PS- I'm a URM, if that helps</p>

<p>With such a high GPA, I would absolutely give it a shot. The only thing you have to lose is your application fee. Make sure to write a great application essay that shows why you want to transfer to Vanderbilt. If you are not admitted, keep the focus on your schoolwork for the next semester or year – then try again.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Go for it! If you know you want to transfer, don’t wait. You’ve got an excellent gpa too. Why wait? Many schools want you there for a minimum for 2 years. Don’t wait, if this is what you want.</p>
