<p>According to Vanderbilt’s admissions blog and an admissions counselor:

<p>I’m a parent of a prospective Vanderbilt transfer applicant. I just read somewhere online that Vanderbilt was eliminating 600 dorm rooms and that this would significantly impact the transfer acceptance rate. Is there truth to this rumor please?</p>

Thanks for your question. We actually intend to enroll approximately 210 new transfer students this fall, which is slightly more than in the past two years.

<p>210? that’s less than the 366 they admitted last year. Maybe he means 210 more than the 360?</p>
<p>I think he means that they plan on having 210 enroll out of however many they admitted, assuming not all admitted applicants will enroll at Vanderbilt?</p>
<p>Ooo I see. I wish we knew what percentage of transfers that end up enrolling…</p>
<p>Ugh I know right?! I tried googling the Facebook page of last years transfer class to see. But then again some may not even have Facebook.</p>
<p>As you can tell, I’m looking WAAAAY too much into this.</p>
<p>According to CollegeBoard.org, 362 transfers were admitted and 195 chose to enroll.</p>
<p>sounds like the admittance rate will still decrease by a lot</p>
<p>Probably a good thing I’m not applying… I doubt I’d get in.</p>
<p>Shawshank I had to go to three different offices to get my form filled out. Pain. Now I’m just waiting for my transcript.</p>
<p>Newtocollege, it appears I will be doing the same. I found out today that I am supposed to give it to my advisor to fill out the academic portion. Then I bring it to the Dean of Students to fill out the disciplinary portion. Then I am supposed to have my transcripts mailed separately because a completely different office is in charge of handling official transcripts. This whole process is a headache…</p>
<p>So financial aid/CSS is due today and of course the financial aid office telephone line is busy/not ringing…sigh.</p>
<p>CSS was a major pain to fill out. I went ahead and submitted my app last night. No use in dwelling over essays for another two weeks</p>
<p>I see that Vandy requires the Secondary School Report. It is going to feel kind of weird making a trip to my high school to drop it off. I haven’t been there since graduation.</p>
<p>don’t think you have to…just hs transcripts…my regional transfer adviser said its not required</p>
<p>Ohhhh, well I might just have it sent anyway. Two other schools to which I am applying have it listed as a requirement, so I will be going to my high school anyway.</p>
<p>Currently in the middle of having a panic attack whilst filling out this CSS profile.</p>
<p>Jk, not really but I didn’t realize this thing was SOOOO long.</p>
<p>Just finished with ten minutes to spare…whew!</p>
<p>Making myself submit my application this week - finally</p>
<p>Does anyone know if it matters whether we send hard copies or electronic copies of our official transcripts (from both high school and college)?</p>
<p>Didn’t know it was possible to send electronic copies of a transcript…interesting.</p>
