transfer advice!

Applying to College

<p>So, I'm in nursing school at the moment, and I have kind of decided that I don't really think it's for me. I'm looking into transferring somewhere in the Fall, and I really want to go to Vanderbilt. Can anyone give me advice on this? (i.e. do i have a fair chance to get accepted, etc)</p>

<p>HS GPA: 4.4 (3.3 UW)
College GPA: 3.79</p>

<p>I have a fair amount of EC's, mostly work and volunteering, and could probably pull off a pretty good essay.</p>

<p>I also have a lot of Dual Enrollment classes that I took in high school (math and English) that I was hoping they would accept, if I got in. I don't really know how Vandy would look at that, but my current school accepted it all.</p>

<p>Any comment/advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>Sarah, it looks like they received approx 460 transfer apps and accepted about 160. It seems like the SATs and essays will play an important role in their admissions process. Good luck!</p>

<p>Go to the Transfer forum and read the sticky threads at the top, they give excellent information about what is important for transfers. A lot will depend on whether you're transferring as a sop or jr, what school you are currently attending, instructor recs, etc.</p>

<p>Also, post your questions there as the moderator and posters are likely to have the most informed advice.</p>
