Official Vanderbilt University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>Hey guys! I’ve been reading this post for the last week or so, but I just received my acceptance letter today!! So excited</p>

<p>Decisions for students who submitted by the priority deadline were mailed Friday. So if you haven’t gotten it, it is probably just still in the mail :)</p>

Did you hear that from someone in admissions? I had my app complete before the deadline but have not yet received anything, so I am curious.</p>

<p>wait…all priority deadline decisions were mailed friday??</p>

<p>No - I called admissions today. All transfer admissions decisions will be sent out each Friday until the class is full.</p>

<p>Also - people who have been accepted (especially those who just now created a CC account/posts on this thread) - could you please post your stats?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Accepted from Maryland! Didn’t receive any info about aid though. For those accepted have you received your aid package yet?</p>

<p>Yes, I heard that directly from the admissions office earlier today (see last page) when I asked how we would know if we were in the first wave.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information, neurotransfer.
Hopefully we receive some good news tomorrow, then.</p>

<p>Wait…all priority deadline apps have already been decided on? Well I think there goes my chances, especially since we don’t even know of a single rejection that was mailed today. I really wanted to have the second semester prove myself, since I had a W and a B+ the first one. Next year, I guess.</p>

<p>Rejected in Texas. Small, plain envelope.</p>

<p>Meh, knew it was a long shot being a ward of the state since Vandy is need-aware. Ivy League first-year, 35 ACT, massive EC’s.</p>

<p>So moral of my story, apparently financial need is taken really seriously in Vandy transfer admissions?</p>

<p>Either that or perhaps overqualified? I know kids at Brown and Dartmouth that received rejections from Vandy for no apparent reason.</p>

<p>Ha… First of all I am sorry… Secodly if you did not get in I’m not getting in cause I needed a buttload of f.a.</p>

<p>Did anyone on the west coast get a letter today?</p>

<p>Well, no news in CA. Since I’m assuming priority mail would have made it to CA by today, I’m expecting WL or denial by regular mail tomorrow or Weds. </p>

<p>I’m sorry Neurotransfer. It’s been nice hanging with you. And, agreed, if your stats didn’t get you accepted, I’m doomed.</p>

<p>Neurotransfer, if you got rejected…then what hope is there for the rest of us!</p>

<p>Dang, neurotransfer, I’m in Texas and didn’t get anything…</p>

<p>Aw, it’ll be okay, everyone :slight_smile: I was a unique applicant, so don’t take too much from it. I’ll let you know where I end up!</p>

<p>Sorry about your rejection, neurotransfer. Good luck to you, wherever you end up.</p>

<p>I don’t know what to expect now. I wonder if all of us who made the priority deadline but have not yet received decisions should expect rejections in the next day or two, or if there is a possibility that some of the priority mail acceptance letters are just taking longer. I have read that priority mail is delivered in 2-3 days, depending on flight times in particular areas.</p>

<p>Has anyone from the Midwest heard back yet?</p>

<p>I received a completed application email on February 19, so I’m feel like I should have received something by now if I were to be accepted. With that said, I think that means that I was not a definite yes (which doesn’t surprise me - my stats were not as good as y’all’s!). So, either I will luckily be accepted, I will be wait listed sometime soon-ish (maybe), or there is a rejection letter on its way here in the next few weeks or so.</p>
