Vanderbilt Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

@wwu9907 it’s okay bro, I didn’t either, I just checked.

Is there still some chance that it might be today? Im so close to giving up…

Wouldn’t bet on it.

Nothing here

6:01 nothing

Nothing here

This is actually a joke.

Nothing… agAIN…

While I don’t plan on withdrawing my application, I can totally understand how some people would start wanting to at this point.

someone should send this thread to Vandy admissions.

I’m sure Vandy admissions watches these threads

Hi, guys!! I just got in somewhere else that was like my 3rd choice but it still a great school and I feel SOOO relieved bc now if I don’t get into Vandy, I know it’ll be okay. But I have to decide on this school by June 1st, and I’m still feeling like Vandy is my first choice still. Does anyone else have to commit to other schools soon?! I was thinking I would give it one more week before I emailed my AO. But I think I can’t wait anymore lol. It HAS to be next week! Or I feel like they’ll lose a lot of students. Seems like they already have :confused:

It’s only 5:15 in Nashville right now, maybe they release it at 6 or 6:30 their time?

Even with Covid-19, this seems a lot later than normal for Vanderbilt to release its first wave. Assuming that Vandy is like a lot of other Elite schools that saw a drop of about 5%-10% in applications this year, I wonder if Transfer Apps are down too.

@transfergirl2020 where did you get in?!

@SlackJack006 I heard the transfer application drop for elite colleges is even greater at around 30-35%.

Princeton saw an almost 36% drop this year too in the number of transfer applications received.

Princeton doesn’t surprise me one bit. I guess people finally figured out it is damn near impossible for people to get in as a transfer ?.

I think a lot of applicants are figuring out that the system is effectively rigged – especially for 1st year applicants. If you aren’t a recruited athlete, then you’d better be a donor, finally a URM. College Admissions Scandal played a big part.
