<p>For any accepted transfer students, here’s a thread I started on the actual vanderbilt forum. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/vanderbilt-university/1503599-former-transfer-taking-any-all-questions.html#post15934777[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/vanderbilt-university/1503599-former-transfer-taking-any-all-questions.html#post15934777</a> Ask away!</p>
<p>Got my acceptance today in PA ! Letter was dated May 7th. </p>
<p>Stats:
HS gpa : 4.0 (unweighted)
College gpa: 4.0
SAT : 2100 (750 reading, 700 math, crap, I know)
applied as : freshman, but technically it’s my third year of college since I took all my classes at the CC during my junior and senior year of high school. have 90~ credits, I wonder how many they’ll take?
major: mathematics
ECs: pretty strong, a lot of service-oriented activities. also worked A LOT as a supplemental instructor and as a tutor at my college.</p>
<p>the financial aid was generous, considering my dad’s income. unfortunately, since he isn’t helping me pay, I have to find a way to come up with 15k myself now! oh well, I’ll make it happen somehow… It will be worth it to attend Vandy!! :)</p>
<p>Nothing today. I must be in the very last batch. Or rejected.</p>
<p>Oh btw I declined admission a couple days ago so that leaves another spot for somebody. Good luck!</p>
<p>well, another week come and gone. Home Tuesday and then i can get my own mail. I hope I’m still in the running. grades are good, so I’ll let admissions know that I guess.</p>
<p>Hopefully we will receive good news on Monday…</p>
<p>those of you who were accepted could you post your sat’s?</p>
<p>If someone in PA got acceptance yesterday, I should get one in NY today…but still nothing…Vandy is not the slowest school release decisions , but it kept me waiting and forced me to watch others receiving their decisions. tired~</p>
<p>Nothing again in NY today as well. It’s getting to the point that I’m considering the possibility that they mailed me a rejection letter weeks ago but it went to the wrong address. The only time Vandy ever contacted me was the application complete letter I received on 4/1. Has anyone that has not received a decision ever gotten anything in the mail from Vandy since the process began? I know I haven’t.</p>
<p>Eric, I wouldn’t worry about never receiving anything in the mail. I got my acceptance on Fri, but besides my app complete email in early march, they never once contacted / sent me anything. Heck, they didn’t even respond to an email I sent them. I think they just have their hands full with trying to evaluate so many qualified applicants. Hang in there!</p>
<p>Accepted today in MN!</p>
<p>Stats:
Class of 2016
College gpa: 3.88
Weighted hs gpa: 4.059
ACT: 32
5’s on 4 AP tests
Solid extracurriculars, especially from hs. Extensively involved in music and theatre
Fantastic letters of rec
Non-vandy specific essay, but it lent itself well to Vandy b/c it talked about how I don’t want to have debt when I graduate
National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar
Currently attending a top 50 liberal arts college</p>
<p>My letter was post marked May 7th. It might have come yesterday, because I forgot to check my mailbox until today. It came to my mailbox at school. My financial aid info came with it, and it is pretty solid. It’s making it about 2K cheaper to attend Vandy than my current school, but I still don’t know what I am doing yet. My school has one of the best (if not the best) choral programs in the nation, and I got into the top choir this spring. My plan is to take Vandy’s letter to my financial aid people here and use it as leverage for them to increase what they are giving me. If they can, I will not be attending Vandy because being in this choir would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.</p>
<p>hopefully we hear back tomorrow</p>
<p>Fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone tomorrow</p>
<p>Accepted today in Santa Barbara!</p>
<p>Can you tell us when it was mailed, mks? And I assume it was a school mailbox if you received it on a Sunday?</p>
<p>The letter is dated May 6. And I’m assuming it arrived yesterday.</p>
<p>Congrats Mks100 and M678. Mks, care to share your stats? So, if my theory holds, Vandy will mail again today, based on numbers gleaned Friday (when the second wave’s acceptance deadline was). I’m in my last final today and home tomorrow, so maybe I’ll actually get my Vandy mail myself. This is not the way I expected everything to play out, for sure.</p>
<p>Anyone get decision letter in NY today?</p>
<p>Nothing in Illinois…</p>
<p>I called today and they said my application is still being reviewed <em>sigh</em></p>
