<p>What year are you?</p>

<p>Where is everyone?!</p>

<p>No one else? Did Sandy get yall?</p>

<p>Aka, landlocked and not getting any rain/cold/wind from this hurricane.</p>

<p>Same here. That wind has been vicious this week.</p>

<p>Please chance me for Vanderbilt. </p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p><em>I’ll be 17 years old at the time of transfer</em></p>

<p>I am currently a sophomore at a community college hoping to transfer to a top university.I graduated two years early from high school (left after my sophomore year) due to financial reasons (i had to help my parents out because they’re getting older- and in the long run this would be the smarter financial decision). </p>

<p>Anyways, here are my stats:
ACT Composite: 35
College GPA: 4.0
High School GPA: 3.9 </p>

<p>major of interest: anthropology
EC:
Vice-president anthropology club
-internship at non-profit organization dealing with middle eastern/north african culture
-creator and head of music teaching program at a non-profit organization that caters to children from low-income areas suffering from mental disorders
-creator and head of cultural enrichment program at the same place listed previously
-tutor for reading at low-income school
-soprano student at music conservatory for 3 years
-presented&won anthropology symposium at school (presented on original research on anthropological topic
-i work at a local pharmacy as a clerk for the past two years
-been helping out at my dad’s small business for the last four years
-created a youth council that is active in local govt.
-research on cancer cells (tested various pharmaceutical drugs)</p>

<p>You might get in but Vandy’s pretty expensive. Yes, I know their financial aid is top notch but if $$$ is something to be worried about…</p>

<p>Where is everyone?!</p>

<p>looking for some chances here </p>

<p>HS grades: Full IB 38
SAT: 800CR/740M/730W/2270
College grades: Yr1 3.49/Yr2 3.9 (4 pt scale; absolutely no fluff classes; massive grade deflation*)
Intl student, decent ECs/many internships, 3 strong recommendations</p>

<p>*the average GPA at my school is 2.8</p>

<p>i’m really unsure about my chances as I go cut from everywhere the last I applied to the states *****</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty strong chance of being admitted, esp. since your school practices grade deflation.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, I transferred into Vandy 2 years ago and I’m a senior now. If anyone has questions about about Vanderbilt, let me know!</p>

<p>omg i need 15 posts (or more) to send you a private msg anywhere08! urgh, im just gonna go around spamming</p>

<p>Keep spamming philantropist! I’ll PM anywhere in the meantime!</p>

<p>hahah k cool :stuck_out_tongue: /spam lol</p>

<p>2 more to go! Where is everyone?</p>

<p>i’ve no idea lol im not even sure how popular (or not) Vanderbilt is for transfer</p>

<p>btw im totally not keeping my hopes up cos you might not believe it but i got cut from every single US college i applied to the last time</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Vandy’s pretty popular on here. Like I’ve said before, maybe everyone will flock over during Winter Break.</p>

<p>In the mean time, how is everyone’s year going?</p>

<p>It’s been good. Can’t really complain. You?</p>
