Transferring from a CC to Vanderbilt?

Transfer Students

<p>Hey everyone :) Could anyone tell me their opinions on my chances for transferring from a CC to Vanderbilt? I'm planning to apply to the Peabody school, which is supposed to be a little easier to get into.</p>

<p>I'm currently at a community college and hoping to transfer to Vanderbilt. My GPA is 3.85 with 67 hours. I should be able to bring it up to 3.9 after another semester. </p>

<p>My SAT score wasn't very good at 1640. I'm studying to take the ACT to try to get a better score.</p>

<p>I'm a member of Phi Theta Kappa and was chosen as one of the ten top students at my college this year.</p>

<p>I'm 24, so I guess I'm a non-traditional student. I come from a normal middle-class family, but I'm a first gen college student and am disabled.</p>

<p>Thanks, and I appreciate any advice!</p>

<p>Oh, I was also home schooled for all 12 years.</p>

<p>You would need to raise your test scores substantially – good luck on ACT</p>

<p>Agree that retaking the SAT or getting a score in the low 30s on the ACT is important.
I am spending too much time here. I first read the thread title as if it said you were transfering from cc as in college confidential! LOL</p>

<p>I’m also very interested in Smith…it might be my top choice (my family wants me to go to Vanderbilt). Smith doesn’t require test scores. Do you think I might be able to get in there?</p>

<p>I know Vandy only accepts 60 credits for transfers.</p>

<p>I thought you were traditional UP to 24?</p>

<p>You may as well try. Vanderbilt’s transfer rate is very high at 31%.</p>
