Official Vanderbilt 2015 Fall Transfer Thread

@WMstudent18 when was your application completed? What makes me somewhat upset is that I submitted everything at least 10 days prior to the deadline, but somehow my counselor completed my application on 18th ):…

@WMstudent18 When were you notified? Like just now?

Also, I am also an engineering major who haven’t heard anything yet.

I was wait listed today, which is really cool because I thought I would be rejected and I am finding out from a little research that there is a legit chance to get in and that it isn’t just a token (which would be cool too because it means I have a good shot elsewhere).

Anyway I believe that I have already accepted the position. Does anyone have more information on like wait list admittance rates or something? I noticed one or two people have been wait listed. Or notification dates? It said somewhere that it could be as late as mid-July, but somehow I feel it will be earlier.

Congrats to all that got in!

Accepted CAS Econ
Submitted application mid-January
I’ll post stats and background later. Congrats to other admits

@bauegr01 I was waitlisted last year and the list was closed/:. Thats why im reapplying, cuz now I have improved my stats a lot more so i might have a better chance. I still havent heard anything which really makes me nervous/; When was your application completed???

So there’s still only been one engineering acceptance on this thread…?

Still nothing… I applied for engineering on March 17th…

@marianna0725 mine was completed on March 2nd. I feel your pain because I was frustrated that people were getting in before me who submitted their apps after me. And @qlrp2012 I was definitely notified after some of the people who got in around 10am. I checked myappVu when they said they got in, and I didnt get anything, but around 11 or 11:15 I got in, so my decision came later than them.

Admitted to CAS. Just got the email at 5:23pm. Good luck for those who are still waiting. And congratulations to all of those who have been accepted. :slight_smile:

I got accepted!! SO incredibly happy and blessed!!! CAS! Applied as a psych major

Coming from a top public university
Applied to Vanderbilt as a senior, applied for reconsideration when rejected, rejected twice
First gen college student

@DSquared57 who was the one engineer excepted? I don’t remember seeing anyone.

@marianna0725 My application was completed around March 25 (due to some issues with Vandy’s Office of Admissions) but I applied as a sociology major. One of the reasons I am leaving my current school is because of the lack of programs, so that may change once I am able to experience other courses.

@Andrewchen48 was accepted for chemical.

Accepted into CAS econ earlier today as a rising sophomore. Stats are 3.86 GPA at a top 30 university, lots of involvement. App was submitted on March 8th. Congrats everyone else who got good news today and last monday, and best of luck to those who are still waiting to hear.

Has anyone been rejected yet? Or is it all acceptances and waitlists?
