Vanderbilt Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

@eeaadd22 it’s likely that your application has already been reviewed, so saying something now won’t make a difference. If you’re waitlisted, then definitely send that info in.

According to my advisor, the first wave of decision will happen sometime this week.

Sweet! Hopefully, most of us will hear in the first wave

Hooray! Thanks for letting us know, @samkim1012

Mine just replied and said they are not quite ready to release the first wave, but they hope sometime in may…

My advisor said same thing this morning. Not ready to release decisions yet and “hope to release sometime in May”.

@djbesq1 If your Vanderbilt AO said that, then that is a joke. Life has to move on. They must be expecting all other competitive/elite schools to do the same; however, that isn’t the case. A number are releasing the results already. So, I would expect the quality of the Vanderbilt Transfer pool to be lower this year b/c the best crowd might commit elsewhere earlier.

That’s exactly what my AO wrote in email this morning. And agree with you that its a joke. Actually not even sure I care to go there after seeing how they have dealt with transfer apps. Crazy

If there’s a second wave after this one as usual, I can’t imagine how late that one will be

Nothing again. I don’t really know what i was expecting lol.

“Dear Sam,
We will likely release our first wave of decisions for transfer applicants in the first week of May. Thank you for your patience, and please let me know if you have any additional questions.”

is the exact email that I got

Bless up @samkim1012 ’s AO

Anyone believe it will come today?

For some reason I always expected it to come out on a thursday? I think it was brought up earlier that the day has been relatively random over the past few years and not a fixed thursday or something… I kinda doubt it will today because of the “early” may comment from one of the AO… that could be anything before mid-may (like the fifteenth) so why the sixth? Would be nice though

I’m kinda feelin a bit of Friday, May 8th myself. About a week ago my AO said word for word “We will release transfer decisions beginning early May and extend that release on a rolling basis throughout the summer as needed”. I feel like the 8th is in that sweet spot of being just slightly early may instead of mid-may, especially because the next Monday is the 11th which is kinda mid-may territory if you ask me. It’s all guesswork though, I’m just gonna be checking this thread/my email at least once a day for the next few weeks to see when they release.

Hey everyone! I am new to this thread but I have been watching it for about a week now. I was just on Vanderbilt’s website and they updated the page for admitted transfer students on May 2. I also saw that some of the deadlines for forms is on May 15, so these decisions should be out any day now, especially since that would only give us a little over a week to commit. My guess is that they will release decisions either today or tomorrow!

dang, these late decisions have really put the onus of a quick commitment on us if May 15 is a true commitment date

ikr - my earliest SIR was may 1st and now, i have another coming up on may 15th -__-

i guess it means our credit evals, financial aid, and decisions will come out around the same time? no way I can commit without a look at my financial aid lol

has anyone seen vandy pull any documents on idoc?
