<p>I’m a freshman at NYU looking to transfer to Vanderbilt for next year.</p>
<p>Don’t know what my college GPA will be. Pretty good I assume-Over a 3.5
Do not need financial aid.</p>
<p>Highschool GPA was low: 3.45
SAT: 2020</p>
<p>Stats are on the lower end for Vanderbilt but I’m hoping applying as a transfer will make it a little easier.</p>
<p>Lots of EC’s. Applying as a communication major in Arts&Sciences.</p>
<p>Chances?</p>
<p>mgmt, just wanted to let you know that Vandy doesn’t accept the AP credit. It can be used for AXLE, though. For example, if you scored above a 4 (I believe) in a language, you placed out of a language. You don’t get the 3 credits, though.</p>
<p>Also, 430catt, I think to be safe, you should get your GPA up to a 3.6 ish.</p>
<p>@mgmt: strong as St. A is, why are you still looking into transferring? I think the fact that you’re in st. a pretty much tells that you’re academically qualified.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just recently have begun considering applying to Vanderbilt but I have no idea if I would even have a fighting chance, I mean it’s such a great school…</p>
<p>Right now :
I attend the University of Tennessee at Martin
59 hours not including in progress classes…
College GPA: 3.83 (not including in progress classes def. A’s-12hrs)
College achievements: Best undergraduate critical reaction essay on my philosophical writings of Aristotle and Socrates, and the only undergraduate in TN considered at state level for the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship
I work 30 hours a week</p>
<p>High school was eh…
GPA 3.43
ACT 26
And tons of clubs and leadership/public speaking awards</p>
<p>And I am a philosophy major hoping to pursue a PhD after undergraduate</p>
<p>Hopeless? Maybe?</p>
<p>cjevali: I didn’t really think of it that way I guess. But I can’t do the distance and they don’t offer Communications, which is what I hope to transfer into. So you’re saying you think I have a shot?</p>

<p>Is it worth applying?</p>
<p>I am currently a freshman at the University of Kentucky, but I hate it here and would really like to go to private university next year. I can’t concentrate, and it’s really making me mad. My parents made me go here because I pretty much received full tuition for one full year. By the way, my first semester GPA is just theoretical, so please keep that in mind…</p>

<p>Do I have a chance at Vandy?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Itransferred11, could you expand on this? So, if i have a 5 on BC calc, for example, I won’t get 3 credits toward my math requirement if I’m accepted and send along my AP scores?</p>
<p>If you received a 5 on BC Calc, you will get a Natural Science class towards AXLE, but you will not receive any college credits for it. The first day of orientation, we were told that transfer students cannot transfer in AP credits for actual credit. (Unless I’m being delusional). There’s even a limit for freshmen. </p>
<p>So, the AP counts towards general education requirements, but will not be included in your 120 required credits.</p>
<p>Ahhh, OK. I know there’s an 18 credit limit on APs, but that makes me feel better. Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m almost positive the 18 applies only to freshmen. I don’t think transfers get any.</p>
<p>Seriously… someone?</p>
<p>Glad this is already started for Vanderbilt, haha. </p>
<p>I’m applying CAS as a Gov/Poli Sci and Econ double major. </p>
<p>Stats:</p>

<p>Entering as a Sophomore</p>
<p>SAT: 1890
ACT: 30 (Willing to retake if there’s any reason that would help, but from what I understand after 30 hrs SAT/ACTs don’t really matter)</p>
<p>ECs:
lots of volunteer work
a summer internship,
co-captain of debate team for one semester,
vice pres of French club for two semesters,
I’m planning on getting involved in debate again, history club, and trying to get research positions in my major fields of interest (econ and gov).</p>
<p>Sport:
varsity baseball and basketball in HS
club lax and tennis in college.</p>
<p>"So, the AP counts towards general education requirements, but will not be included in your 120 required credits. "</p>
<p>Does anyone have a source on this, because I was planning on graduating at least a semester early.</p>
<p>I would call the office of the registrar. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I was dozing off during the first 30 minutes of our transfer orientation.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, I’m a 2010 transfer to Vandy and just stopping by to wish everyone good luck!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I transferred to Vandy this past fall–it is definitely a transfer-friendly school. You’ll definitely be so so much happier here–Vanderbilt’s amazing!
Message me if you have any specific questions, i’d be happy to answer them!</p>
<p>Hi guys 
I’m applying too! I’m currently a sophomore at a large public university. </p>
<p>I had a question. Since Vanderbilt does not have a supplement, how are you guys planning to show your interest in the school? I’m applying to other schools, so I’m thinking about creating two accounts. </p>
<p>Also, are we allowed to send in additional recommendation?</p>
<p>Thank you all ^^</p>
