<p>@ktmalt95 possibly. I’m tired of getting my hopes up just to have them sink again. lol</p>
<p>Just found this thread, looking at the stats of some people here make me feel like a slacker. Hoping to hear back soon.</p>
<p>Does anybody know the average GPA they accept? When I called them about my recommendations I just casually asked and the counselor said 3.5 is competitive, but looking on these boards it seems 4.0 is the norm</p>
<p>Sorry for the double post, any way I could get a quick chance?</p>

<p>@HopefulScholar64 someone on this thread got in last week with a 3.1, so I think it depends on your situation/ who reads your app</p>
<p>I just checked my myVU page and they’ve started releasing admissions decisions</p>
<p>I am applying to transfer from American University as well @petal1 @ktmalt95</p>
<p>@jbart17 I just checked mine. And nothing. Haha, we’re you accepted?</p>
<p>@nervousandsuch Can you link to the person’s stats please? I looked for it in the thread but have not seen anybody with a 3.1 GPA</p>
<p>NVM I found it, I couldn’t find the dang search feature when I was looking</p>
<p>@transfer1235234 no way really? 
are you a freshman or sophomore?</p>
<p>SIGH. I was really expecting us to have our decisions by now :’(</p>
<p>@CaptTShannan I was accepted… so maybe it was only cause of that. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>@jbart17 What were your stats?</p>
<p>@ktmalt95 I am a freshman finance student who is applying to Vandy for econ.</p>
<p>So nobody’s heard anything?</p>
<p>@CaptTShannan unfortunately not. I’m pretty annoyed </p>
<p>@TransferGirlSoph, same. Hopefully sometime in the next couple of days.</p>
<p>@LACNoMore @CaptTShannan I talked to my counselor last week and she said that decisions begin going out May 1st so don’t worry too much, I am applying to the school of engineering so that may be a factor to when I hear back, </p>
<p>Decisions have already started going out. So I really don’t believe the May 1st thing. @HopefulScholar64 </p>
<p>Also haven’t heard anything. Disappointing!</p>
<p>Lol, I hope it isn’t May 1st. I’d have to pay deposit at another university (one that I really like as well, admittedly) without knowing. I turned mine in right before the original March 15th deadline, so who knows? Maybe that’ll get it out to me sooner. :)</p>
<p>Hoping for the best. :)</p>
