<p>Whats the deal with transfering into vandy? does anyone know the stats or rates?</p>
<p>im coming from amherst - good shot?</p>
<p>I'm a transfer this year!! There are about 150 of us, but I'm not sure how many applied. The schools that people are coming from are VARIED in terms of prestige. In my orientation group we had a transfer from Columbia and another from Central Arkansas State, and there's a girl here from West Point as well. There are many transfers who did not go to "top schools" the first time around due to financial concerns who are nonethless qualified and extrememly smart. So, the Amherst thing will probably look good, but I think the admissions office is more concerned about finding a good fit with the people they select. So... write good essays, have good recommendations, and make sure they know you're interested!
