Official Vanderbilt University Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>I’m almost positive they don’t “rank” the waitlist, but congrats!</p>

<p>How long do you have to make a decision about attending?</p>

<p>They only gave me a week, which is pretty soon because that includes getting the matriculation fee/form there within that time.</p>

<p>Yikes. A week from the date of the email?</p>

<p>Yeah, received it June 5 and it’s due June 12.</p>

<p>RousseauDoe, mind sharing your stats?</p>

<p>When did you send in your most recent transcript? @anontransfer</p>

<p>Current School: Top 100 Public University
Entering as: Sophomore
High School GPA: 3.1 W - I took all APs, but didn’t see the significance in wasting time on busy work. I focused on ECs that I enjoyed more.
College GPA: 3.8
SAT/ACT Scores: 28 Def lower than the freshman norm at Vandy
SAT II Scores: None
Significant ECs: </p>

<p>-High School Debate Captain/Two time national qualifier (finished in the top 30 teams in the country)

  • 3 year law intern in high school
  • President of Young Dems at my High School
  • Radio DJ at my current school
  • an editor for the News section of the radio station
  • An intern at a domestic violence center near my current institution </p>

<p>Hooks: The main reason I got into Vandy was the difficulty of my course work. I took almost all upper level courses during this past year, including several 600 classes. I worked hard and Aced them all. </p>

<p>I’m also studying at Cambridge this summer towards my intended major.</p>

<p>Recs: One was probably alright from a TA and the other my high school debate coach who has known me for over four years.</p>

<p>I had it sent as soon as final grades were posted, which I believe was around mid-May? They have those and they received my letter of continued interest on May 27th.</p>

<p>@RousseauDoe
Huge cong!!! and thanks for sharing ur stats. Did you get enough FA? I am worried about the FA for students on the wait list.</p>

<p>Oh, ok. Same. My transcript was confirmed on the 31st, and I sent my LOCI around the 20th. Hmm. I hope they didn’t just review ours and put them off :confused: This wait is the worst.</p>

<p>I’m not sure I apologize. I didn’t apply for direct FA through Vandy.</p>

<p>@alisonnian when did you send in your transcript?</p>

<p>@TransferW
I sent in official transcript around May 20th.</p>

<p>Still nothing on my end.</p>

<p>Admitted see my other post!!! on this board hhahaha</p>

<p>Brighton, did you get your letter today? And if so, when is it postmarked? I believe I’m supposed to he my decision when the next wave is mailed out.</p>

<p>I thought people on the waitlist received emails? Or that’s what the admissions counselor told me when I called last week.</p>

<p>Or perhaps she did get the transfer waitlisted confused with the freshmen waitlist? Who knows?</p>

<p>I’m not on the wait list, I haven’t received a decision yet. There was a problem with my app. And as the user who was accepted off the wait list said, they also notify you via paper copy after you get an email</p>
