Vanderbilt Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@whata777 Typically, yes. It has to be filled out by someone that can verify you’re in good standing both behaviorally & academically. I emailed my registrar and had to send it to the student conduct office so they could fill out the behavior part then they forwarded it to the registrar, so that they could fill out the academic part. I would have your registrar send it to the schools because I think I saw that someone had sent it from themselves and one of the schools wanted it to come directly from the registrar or something like that. I just filled out the part I needed and scanned a copy to the person I needed to receive it. I then emailed the registrar a list of the schools and addresses and they sent it right over.

@ashtash they never asked for the behavioral part like to my behavioral section of my school, I just have it to the registrar. oh no.

@sstayingpositive If your registrar accepted it then they’ll fill it out! The only reason I had to send mine there first is because the registrar requested it. Each school operates differently. I think that people usually just have to send theirs to the registrar for the most part(:

Hi everyone, I’m also applying for Fall transfer! I go to a New Jersey community college and will be getting my biology associate degree in May :slight_smile:

Did anyone send in their transcripts yet? It looks like the college transcripts are handled by sending to the common app. Does anyone know if Vanderbilt requires transcript be sent directly to them in addition of the one sent to the common app? And there is no place for the high school transcript so is it safe to assume that should be sent directly to the general undergraduate admission office address? Thanks for any insights!

I had my college and my high school send directly to the undergraduate admission office address. The transcripts haven’t ben received yet but I sent them less than a week ago and it was a holiday weekend.

I just checked and the college transcript actually was received so it’s safe to send the transcript directly to their address.

Hi, does anyone know when we can start expecting decisions? I know applications aren’t even due yet, but I was just wondering what to expect.

last year it was late April

Based on the last few years, my hunch is April 23rd.

Has anyone finished their application yet?

Almost. Just have to re-write extracurricular essay. Original was on a high school activity which bled into freshman year. But 80 percent wa high school and I think they want to hear more about a post high school activity.

I have, and the waiting is already killing me. :-SS

Sent a bunch of stuff already, just not the app. Sent high school and college transcripts and college report and test scores. Hopefully they will put it all together with the application when it gets there since they are there before the app is there.

I did that for mine, and it all worked out okay!

I submitted the common application a week ago but haven’t heard anything from Vanderbilt about setting up a MyAppVU portal. On their instructions it said I’d be prompted in 24 to 48 hours after submission. Does anyone know if this is normal or whether I need to do something else?

@whata777 I received mine the next morning, but I don’t know if that’s normal, or if I just happened to get mine a little quicker. I would probably email your admissions counselor just in case so that way you have time to make sure you aren’t missing any materials before the deadline.
