Official Vanderbilt 2015 Fall Transfer Thread

For those that have heard back, did you just get that email today?

@Jameson5 Hah no worries, happy to help. It was just an email from admissions saying your application decision is available, I clicked the link and got to the acceptance. And I applied for economics so College of Arts and Sciences

Rejected. Kinda bummed, but I guess it’s just one school so far. Congrats to everybody else.

My brother transferred to Vanderbilt a few years ago, I visited him this year and went into the admissions office to talk to a counselor with my resume.

Congratulations you guys! That just goes to show that we can hear at anytime. Any Peabody applicants get a decision?

Great job everyone! I am really happy for you guys! Thanks for sharing all of the information with us, at least it lets us know what to expect! @Transfer1011‌, does your myappvu status say anything different now that you’re accepted?

congrats for those got it! Have a one quick question. Have any seen “alternative choice” on application status website? i used to see it,but its just gone today.

@udontknow‌ You’re right. “Alternative choice” is gone. And now I see my admissions counselor has changed now for the second time. This is my third counselor. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Didn’t hear anything, my admissions counselor also didn’t change however, and mine still says Vanderbilt School of Choice

for those accepted, congrats!!! Quick question, if you login where you used to check your checklist, did that change? I am having email issues, and im hoping i don’t miss it =|

Holy crap, guys. I’m getting so nervous to find out. My app was complete like 1 or 2 says before the deadline, and I applied for A&S Neuroscience. Ahhhh!

@newnorg‌ It changed to a page that said “Congratulations _____”

For those that have been accepted, was your financial aid package also available with your decision?

@zbt123‌ yes the financial aid was available

My “alternative choice” also disappeared… The news are coming…

@angelok my “alternative choice” disappeared as well… hoping for good news soon…

@msstatetransfer‌ @angelok‌ where did you see the “alternative choice” tab before it disappeared?

@Vandyhopefull94‌ Mine was listed underneath my councilors name and now it is gone
