Official Vanderbilt University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>I emailed my counselor yesterday and I got nothing. Seeing as how people who still haven’t gotten a decision are likely the last batch, admissions is probably seeing who’s accepting their transfer spots before coming to us</p>

<p>I called my counselor Tuesday the 14th and he told me a decision had been made for me, but it had not been mailed yet. He made it sound as if my decision had been made a while ago but he didn’t know why it had not been mailed. I asked if he could tell me my decision over the phone but he said it had to be 10 days after the decision is made before he can tell me via phone. He also said he would make sure it got sent that day and here it is Sunday and I still have nothing. I was really expecting it Saturday only to be disappointed when I went to the mailbox.</p>

<p>Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I sent the response letter back today saying that I will not be attending Vanderbilt in the fall. I was able to work things out with my financial aid department here, and will be staying at my current school. I would have really missed a lot of things if I left. I know there is someone out there who desperately wants to be at Vanderbilt, and now they will be able to. I will probably will be applying to Vanderbilt for grad school though, so perhaps I will be there for that! To all the people still waiting to hear back, good luck!</p>

<p>If we were really at the bottom of the barrel anon I think we would have been rejected a while ago. Perhaps I’m being optimistic, but I like to think that since we’re hearing back this late they have looked at our apps and are at least considering accepting us.</p>

<p>Can u guys share ur stats?</p>

<p>Can u share ur stats please?</p>

<p>For those still waiting, when did you get your app is now complete email?</p>

<p>Nothing again today. Getting to the point that I’m tempted to call admissions…</p>

<p>my counselor told me i would have it by today, but I didnt get it so i called again and they said it would be next week now… im not sure if all this time is a good or bad thing</p>

<p>Did anyone receive some random letter from the Blair School of Music? I did not apply there, nor do I know if this was a mass mailing or if any other transfer applicants got this too? It was about some piano sale.</p>

<p>Also, I’ve noticed some posters have fallen off of this board… I don’t want these people to feel ashamed if they were rejected or wait listed.</p>

<p>Still waiting.</p>

<p>No decision has been made for me. My counselor is also gone for the summer.</p>

<p>Who’s your counselor anon?</p>

<p>Anyone still waiting in california?</p>

<p>Those of us who are still waiting: when did you receive your app. complete email?</p>

<p>I received mine April 1st, but I have also sent in a new transcript. I’m hoping that is what is causing the delay in my decision, because they still have to process the material.</p>

<p>Received it on 4/1 as well. Also sent in a new transcript which was mailed by my school on 5/1. I actually never called Vandy to see if they received it. I’ll call tomorrow.</p>

<p>I got my app complete email March 8 and still haven’t heard back in CA. I emailed my counselor so we shall see!</p>
