Official Vanderbilt University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>Please chance me… im a freshman at UCSB right now</p>

<p>ACT Composite: 30
College GPA: 3.8
High School GPA: 3.6 Unweighted, 3 APs</p>

<p>Im Jewish (idk if that helps)
Lots of HS ECs
3 year varsity athlete, 2 time all league all section (soccer)</p>

<p>At UCSB so far im in the philanthropy club</p>

<p>And Im applying to Peabody- HOD major</p>

<p>Im assuming my gpa will be around a 3.8…</p>

<p>A 3.8 is really good, even by CC standards.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity - how much do you think our standardized test scores will be weighed? I have yet to ask my admissions counselor but I was just wanting everyone’s opinions.</p>

<p>Hopefully not much. I would think our college grades would negate that. Esp. my college grades since my SAT scores are horrendous.</p>

<p>I’m also considering applying for transfer to Vandy, econ. close to 4.0 HS u/wGPA, 2050 ACT, hopefully around a 3.8 1st semester college GPA. Volunteer work, campus job. Have any of you visited?</p>

<p>i think as usual if two applicants are about the same and theres only a spot left, the one with the higher standardized test score would get the place. in other words, it can only help but it probably won’t hurt too much</p>

<p>^ That isn’t inspiring much hope in me</p>

<p>^^ No. Have you?</p>

<p>Nope. Maybe over winter break.</p>

<p>I’ll be trying to send everything in + hopefully work during winter break.</p>

<p>I’m in denial that my classes end in a couple weeks and that my essay has made no progress…and then I still have to get all of my application materials in :O</p>

<p>My essay(s) need work. Something has to make up for my HS GPA/test scores, lack of ECs. LOL</p>

<p>This past two weeks have been tough; I got 3 Cs on tests… I’ve been getting As on all my tests, but I’m not quite sure what is the cause. The material is not any harder (I must admit, I have trouble visualizing quantum mechanics) perhaps I’ve been slacking off and not studying enough.</p>

<p>It’s ok. That happens to all of us at some point during the semester.</p>

<p>dude lfcgerrard93 i am also currently a freshman at UCSB thinking of applying to Vandy. what res hall are you in?</p>

<p>Cricket cricket…</p>

<p>Seriously, this is getting beyond annoying.</p>
