Official Vanderbilt University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>I’m only just finishing up my second semester and I have a W from my first one, if I do well on my finals next week, I’ll have a 3.9 GPA. But, unlike the rest of you, I’m dreading a letter next week, because I don’t see how they could possibly accept me without seeing my second semester grades.</p>

<p>3.9 cumulative or 3.9 for the spring semester?</p>

<p>I just spoke with someone and they said decisions are being sent out as we speak.</p>

<p>So much conflicting information! I don’t know what to believe!</p>

<p>Well, if Nashville people get their decisions tomorrow, then we know they’re being sent out.</p>

<p>True. Do you know how the decisions are sent (express mail, priority mail, regular mail)?</p>

<p>First Class Mail</p>

<p>Thanks. So if decisions are mailed today, then everyone who is part of the first wave should receive their letters by Friday, maybe Saturday, at the latest.</p>

<p>I meant “Saturday, maybe Monday, at the latest”* I guess it depends how late in the day the letters are mailed.</p>

<p>3.9 cumulative, A’s except for a B+ in a history class and a W in an acting class (econ major), which I’m worried will have a strong negative effect on my app. I wasn’t planning on transferring when I withdrew from the class, but there’s nothing I can do about it now. My midterm reports had all A’s, but I have to study up and keep them there after finals!</p>

<p>Also, I read somewhere that Vandy isn’t need blind for transfers, which might screw me over.</p>

<p>That’s a fantastic GPA eric2dea! I doubt the W would have as large an impact as it would if it was in Econ or Calc or any College of Arts & Sciences type class if you’re applying as an Econ major.</p>

<p>Also does not need-blind mean the possibility that higher income brackets get preference/lower income brackets are at disadvantage in the admissions process? I never understood what that meant</p>

<p>USPS calculator says that I won’t get my decision till Saturday if it was mailed today :(</p>

<p>Waiting. I wonder if it will be this week or next week?</p>

<p>hoping next week the later the better for me…talking with my area reader think i am gonna get wait-listed so they can see my 2nd semester grades … don’t want all the transfer spots to be gone before i send my finial grades in early may…</p>

<p>It would be really great if someone from Vandy could give us a definitive answer. Someone from Vandy?</p>

<p>sweet, if decisions are indeed mailed today I’ll get mine tomorrow</p>
