<p>Hi guys! So I don't know if I want to do an education major or an english major...i mean i know i have to do both, but I don't know which one I should specify on my application. you can specify two, but which one should i write first? If I want to do only English, is it hard to transfer out of peabody? and which one is easier to get into: peabody or college of arts and sciences?</p>
<p>thanks!!!!!!!</p>
<p>im pretty sure its easier to transfer into peabody than art and science, so you should def put art and science as your first choice. and i heard it easy to cross register at differnt colleges so you might be able to double major in both!</p>

<p>I think the numbers will speak louder and more objectively than my words. You make up your mind.</p>
<p>on one accepted student day April 09…, we were told by an Asst Dean in a public meeting forum that the Arts and Sciences rate this year overall was at about 17%–I can’t recall how that broke out with variations at ED vs RD</p>
<p>He posted acceptance rates for A & S, but enrollment rates for the other schools. Peabody’s acceptance rate for 2008 was 27% vs. 23% for Arts and Science.</p>
<p>Oh gosh, you’re right.</p>
<p>A&S:<br>
36% 33% 31% 30% 29% 23%</p>
<p>Peabody:
48% 52% 44% 46% 47% 27%</p>
<p>Engineering
55% 59% 52% 48% 46% 37%</p>
<p>Blair School of Music
48% 41% 44% 43% 42% 39%</p>
<p>Those should be correct…</p>

<p>According to:

<ul>
<li>[Fall 2009] Admit Rate: 18.9% (I assume that’s RD + ED1 + ED2)</li>
</ul>
<p>“Remember, it is our practice to report both ED rounds together.”
<ul>
<li>“Consequently, we had some very interesting and difficult discussions. Ultimately, we admitted slightly more than 45% of Early Decision 1 applicants.”</li>
</ul>
<p>that really helped!!! thanks! i think i’m going to apply ED to peabody!!!</p>
<p>i just got accepted into peabody as an HOD major (i am a transfer student for this fall) and i have a few questions and would be deeply appreciative if anyone had great answers:</p>
<p>1) i know that vandy doesnt have an undergrad business school so i was wondering what people usually major in if they are interested in going into business (or am i better off not going to vanderbilt if i want to pursue business?)</p>
<p>2) are there limitations as an HOD major in peabody? for example if i wanted to go pre-med, or go into business, or psychology, are those attainable options while being in the peabody school? I’ve been talking to one of my friends who’s in A&S at vanderbilt and he was telling me about the HOD major and how i could go into any of these fields, he also mentioned that HOD has the highest job placement and starting salaries and will open many doors for me to get into a good grad school but i wasnt sure if he was just exaggerating </p>
<p>3) lastly, lastly, let’s say i decide i want to go into a different college at vanderbilt, for example arts and sciences, would that be possible to transfer into another college within the university as a transfer student? can transfer students transfer internally?</p>
<p>i know that was a lot but i just want to make sure i make the right decision by going to vanderbilt. i am currently enrolled at boston university and i know vanderbilt is definitely a big step up, but i just want to make sure i will be able to attain a career that i am interested in. would i be better off staying at BU if i am seriously considering business?</p>
<p>any answers that anyone has would be sincerely appreciated</p>
