Vanderbilt Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

We wait and see…

I’m kinda hoping they come out today and not tomorrow cause UVA decisions come out then and I love the excitement of the day when decisions come out! If two come out on the same day that’ll take away from the fun.

@mkmk29 I go to UVA, Good luck!

When people commit to other schools do they notify Vanderbilt Admissions of their decision? Or are they still in the pool… potentially taking someone’s spot?

This wait is getting really annoying! I’m still waiting on Vandy, Boston College, Penn, USC, and Tufts…

@ketchup23 Same! I applied to Penn and USC too (and ofc Vandy!). I also applied to Brown. The nerves are building but I just got into Cornell the other day so that is somewhat relieving. I just hope these decisions come out sooner rather than later!

I’m really frustrated that there isnt one deadline (like the usual May 1st for high school seniors) to make a decision. A school in my top two that I was accepted into is demanding a response + deposit by tomorrow when I haven’t even heard back from Vandy or Boston College! I dont know what to do but it’s hard to make a decision not knowing whether I got into Vandy etc or not.

nothing.

Nothing. This is awful?

yeah. based on my admissions counselor’s email saying that students in the first wave would be notified “within the first two weeks in may”, i already had no expectation that it would release today. just checked anyway, but there isn’t anything. i really think that it’s not going to release until like may 13th now

This is just insane because I know some schools are asking for enrollment deposits tomorrow and honestly I don’t want classes filling up for my other schools, so I don’t know what to do anymore at this point.

@ebeckins2020 Somebody earlier in the thread said their admission counselor said “late April or early May”. I assumed they meant Thursday (today) or Friday (tomorrow) which will be May 1

because that was said earlier and my counselor said what she said this morning, i think the decisions have been delayed. i think they were initially supposed to come out this week, or at the latest during the first week of may, but it has now been delayed.

that being said i would be relieved and hope they do come out tomorrow!

I honestly think it will come out tomorrow because they are aware they will lose students to the May 1st admissions deadline and should have a good idea of how many students they will be taking this year as May 1st is decision day for most students.

My admissions representative told me early May is when the first wave will be released, tbh I doubt by early may they meant tomorrow May 1st

Yeah mine told me early to mid May, which is likely the second week of May (11th-15th) so I wouldn’t hold your breath for tomorrow or even next week.

I would put my bet on May 7th to May 12th

What is their (or any school’s) reason for waiting?? If they have the decisions already I do not understand what the hold up is. Does anyone know?

My guess is that they’re trying to also figure out what to even do for the fall. With so many students wanting to take gap semesters or gap years it might be a question of how many students to really bring in? Honestly, I think they should have been done by now but this is all I could come up with.
