Official Vanderbilt 2015 Fall Transfer Thread

Does anyone know if they accept transfers based on the spots they have for each program?

I have wondered that as well, @Donatello7654‌. I don’t have an answer, but I can say that Vanderbilt seems like a school that values balance. Therefore, they wouldn’t want unbalanced placement in their programs. I think that if they were asked, they would say that there aren’t specific numbers of students taken into each program, that it is purely based on each applicant. But based on their published statistics, I would have to respectfully disagree.

@MJP2018‌ you’re definitely going to get in! Great job on working so hard!

Jameson5, I transfer from Massachusetts cc and applied to Engendering (Computer Science).
I don’t have usual GPA from HS because I finished it at another country.
College GPA 3.94
Work full-time, college is full-time except this semester because I needed only one class for associate degree.
2 strong recommendation letters from professors
About 60 credits without those that I got at ESL classes.

@MJP2018‌ what school are you coming from…? Saying “from a private school ranked 25-31” is a vague description

Did anybody get their decision this weekend? Or know if they released any this weekend?

You should be expecting some decisions starting the 11th according to last year’s transfer timeline on CC. @zbt123

As soon as decisions start coming will everyone post? I want to hear the good news!

@angelok‌ you’ve got this! That’s a solid background and a great GPA! Did your counselor waive your test scores?

Does anyone have any insight on where majority of the transfers live on campus?

@WMstudent18 I don’t necessarily want to say what school, but I assumed that giving that information would give a better picture of what type of school I am coming from in relation to Vanderbilt.

@Donatello7654‌ someone said in one of the past transfer year chains that there are two dorms that most transfers live in. They are considered “upperclass” dorms.

Is anyone else’s admission page not loading?

Mine isn’t at the moment…

Mine isn’t either.

could be good news or bad news…

=)

Does this mean they’re going to put up the decisions soon?

The way I see it, there are 2 possibilities as to why this is happening:

  1. Registration is happening today, so their servers are down
  2. They're actually doing something with our decisions, in which case...

Think positive @newnorg‌! Would registration be happening this early? And don’t they normal post the decisions on Fridays, or is that just a myth?
