I am utterly disgusted right now by this school. First and foremost, I have been in communication with my counselor for over a year following my waitlist last year. I had previously sent in my college transcript THREE TIMES officially and twice unofficially because I simply could not pay the fee anymore. However, my counselor chooses to inform me LAST WEEK that they will not accept my unofficial transcript. NOW, I am receiving word that my transcript has STILL not been received even though there is literally ONE Vanderbilt university in all of the worldā¦
I am very upset and I have chosen to just completely dismiss this school because this is unbelievable. Vandy has been my dream school for years and seeing how they treat students this yearā¦ its awful. Iām so mad right now I am shaking.
@cusnew Based on past threads. Iām not saying that transfers donāt get in off of the waitlist because some clearly do each year, but by and large the odds arenāt great. Just look at the number of people in this yearās thread that have actually recieved a rejection already; I counted like 3 I think.
@boomeranggecko There might not be a lot of rejections but thereās been a lot of people whoāve turned their offers down. Guess weāll have to see.
@podo6868 I emailed admissions and they told me they are not accepting any more transfer apps since May 1st. But itās weird how it still open on CommonApp and Coalition. I would recommend you to email them.
Well, i submitted my application on May 21, they just received all my documents. I would suggest you to try because we donāt have nothing to lose hahah. good luck!
Alright, thanks guys!
Also, I heard that you wonāt be able to live on campus for the 2020-2021 school year as a transfer since the whole COVID thing. Are you guys still gonna transfer this fall then?
@podo6868 transfers canāt defer their enrollment. If you apply for the fall of 2020 you canāt tell them to hold your spot until they offer on campus housing the following year. If youāre accepted you either decide to go for the fall of 2020 without housing or you decline their offer altogether; there is no āwaitā option.
I was waitlisted, and I was wondering would it be bad to take one class P/NP? I know we have to submit spring grades, but thereās one class where the prof has NOT been understanding at all & this class isnāt related to my major whatsoever. Thoughts? Any advice would help!
Given the circumstances that students had to go through this semester with a sudden change to online classes and living at home, theyāre going to understand why you chose to have it P/NP. Itās totally okay and if they donāt understand why, then maybe this isnāt the right school.
@trademistakes Maybe this year is different. I just know that if you look at these threads from the past few years, no CC students were accepted (from this site, anyways). Additionally, I donāt remember seeing any JKC transfer scholars attend Vandy over the last few years. Iāve seen some of them get waitlisted/rejected and go to places in the HYPSM group instead. Iām not saying itās impossible; it just seems significantly harder than Vandyās peer schools. Unfortunately, itās not like we have access to statistics to confirm the acceptance rate for CC students and test my theory.
My honest opinion is that they probably have certain things they look for in CC applicants. If you donāt have them, regardless of how high your stats are or how great the rest of your application is, theyāll waitlist/reject you. Future CC students can always apply if they love Vandy, but I wouldnāt get my hopes up regardless of how good your app is.
hahah. good luck!
