Transfer chances to Vandy (Blair school of music)

Transfer Students

<p>I know a good deal of admissions fro vanderbilt is contingent upon academics, but i also know taht if you are a proposed music major, the audition counts for a large amount of your admissions decision as well.</p>

<p>Just wondering if I have what it takes as a transfer (maybe)</p>

<p>Well, first off, I'm at Tulane University, first semester freshman taking off next semester possibly.</p>

<p>So, I would only have 16 credits to transfer</p>

<p>Mid-term gpa (all grades so far): 3.85</p>

<p>High school gpa: 3.7UW/3.98W (that is the last quarter of senior year gpa)
Jr. year gpa was 4.07W</p>

<p>SAT: 570R/600M/690W</p>

<p>Rank: 12-15% in H.S.</p>

<p>Large range of extracurriculars (like apprenticeship w/pittsburgh opera, j]r. mendlessohn choir, national honors, founded social action committee, blah blah.)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, i took subject tests...that didn't go well (500s in all)</p>

<p>Just wondering! I heard tulane and vandy are similar in terms of difficulty to get into?!?</p>

<p>Jeremybeach - you might want to post this in the Vanderbilt forum. </p>

<p>In a conversation with one of the Deans at the Blair School of Music I was told that if a student auditioned and they decided they wanted to admit that student the admission process was two fold. To receive a letter of acceptance from Blair not only did a student have to be accepted on the basis of their audition, but they had to meet Vanderbilt's academic standards as well - which means SAT and GPA.</p>

<p>Hope this information helps.</p>
