Watch it come out on Monday, April 20th.
wow! just wondering how do you know this cuz i havenāt received any emails regarding of the date
@SophTaf hopefully after decisions there will be more people on here! which other schools have you applied to?
Yeah, based on past years I feel the first wave could very likely be released sometime this week. If anyone gets their decision, please post on here as soon as you can lol! Iāve been worried sick. Good luck to everyone on here 
as an applicant from last year, i gotta say, this yearās forum is super quiet ;-;
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! hope everyone is safe!
probably be out sometime this weekā¦ fingers crossed
Iāve also noticed that the forums for the schools where my kid has applied as a transfer are much lower on traffic/comments this year (by many pages). My thoughts:
- Applications on almost all Elite Colleges (exceptions are Cornell & Brown) this year were down. So, I'd imagine that Transfer apps are down too. Supposedly, even this past fall, prior to Covid-19, Chinese nationals weren't applying to these schools in the same numbers they had last year.
- Covid-19 has probably distracted some people from posting on CC, and Covid-19 might have caused a drop in overall apps as Transfers. Most Transfer apps were due around March 15th, which is well after the country started shutting down. But I'd point out that USC's Transfer CC forum is way down too this year, and it had a Feb. 1st deadline. So, I'm thinking apps for transfers are down.
- College Admission Scandal: What I hear from some other parents in general is that last year's college admission scandal turned people off of the Elite Colleges to some degree. Some white & Asian parents of high-achieving kids told me that the "Varsity Blues" scandal made them realize that the system was somewhat rigged. If you aren't a recruited athlete, URM or the child/grandchild of a major donor, then even Early Decision doesn't really help. The schools fill up quickly w/the former groups and the system is rigged for people who can buy their way in to fill up the rest of the slots (e.g. Hollywood stars, children of major politicians, etc.).
While the most probable explanation is that it is a combination of these factors I think you are neglecting another cause.
By using google trends, which is no way a perfect metric but gives a good general idea of the usage of a website we can see that the search term āCollege Confidentialā has only had 50% of the search rate this year as it did at the same time last year. Now it is possible that there are less responses to these threads due to a decrease in the popularity of college confidential as a platform. Now the reason for the decrease is up for debate but it could be the case that the same number of people are applying but that less of them are talking about it on the site. It could also be that fewer people are looking to apply for top colleges this year and that the searches have decreased due to this. Though if this is the case it seems rather unlikely that COVID-19 is the cause as the December search peak was a bit over half of what it was last year as well. Regardless of this, the only thing we know for certain is that less people seem to be using college confidential this year compared to last and that we wonāt have any indication on transfer statistics until the common data sets are released.
@MattTransfer2020 If you pull the stats on apps this fast for for the Ivies + Duke + etc. etc., you will see that all except Cornell & Brown had drops in applications this year. One āEliteā counselor said that students arenāt throwing away EDs or Apps in general on schools that are not attainable. Another pointed out that apps coming from mainland China are way down (again prior to Covid-19) in applying to those schools. Some less Elite schools are seeing some upticks in apps, which may be due to the fact that they are seen as more attainable. Searches & comments on CC may be down b/c HS students & Transfer students arenāt hanging their futures on the Elites they way they did every year for about 5-years running.
Good luck this week everybody! I am pretty nervous. I live in the Bay Area fo California but I hope I can call myself a Nashville resident soon!
Did any of you guys get acceptances yet? Whats your top pick? I just got into Berkeley as a physics major a few days agoā¦applied to Vanderbilt as political science. Eeeek 
@transferstudentsrock Berkeley is awesome, congrats! If you got accepted there, Iām sure youāre competitive for Vandy too. 
So far on my end: UMich, Boston University, UMass Amherst, SUNY Bing and Stony Brook. Iām on a BA track instead of BS for computer science so I donāt think I have the exact math/science background Vandy is looking for, but at least I wonāt take rejection super personally then lol.
@SlackJack006 From what source are you getting the application numbers for this year? I did not realize that they have been made available yet.
@MattTransfer2020 āIvy Coachā and āTopTierAdmissionsā have newsletters they put out. Also, thereās āCollege Kickstart.ā You can Google them and compare last years # of apps to this yearās numbers for the Elites.
@transferstudentsrock hi there, fellow Bay Area transfer here. Info below.
Accepted: SFSU (declined), UCSC (declined), UC Davis (plan to attend), UC Berkeley ~ really donāt think this acceptance is an indicator of success elsewhere
Rejected: UNC Chapel Hill, University of Richmond
Waiting: UCSD, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Duke - prepared for rejections
Top Pick: Duke or Georgetown would be awesome
Good luck everyone!
@SlackJack006 Interesting, I checked out some of those and it appears that there has been a 6-7% average dip in application numbers across top schools this year. It seems that almost the same number of students were admitted so I think we can expect a similar trend for transfer admissions where there is a slightly higher admit rate due to a smaller applicant pool. It will be interesting to see the percentage of accepted students who choose to attend this year across top schools compared to last due to the current pandemic.
@CHVRCHES thanks! Good luck with your results. Iām sure they will still think highly of your app. Fingers crossed

If you guys log onto your IDOC account does it show Vanderbilt requesting anything? I have every other school I applied to on there but Vandy isnāt.
@MattTransfer2020 I saw that RD apps at VU dropped only 2% from last year to this year, but the overall admit rate & number admitted to VU went way up - by 900 more admits this year. So, Iām wondering if they are trying to grow the Freshman class or if theyāre worried about yield, so they admitted more.
BTW, Georgetownās, Dukeās, USCās apps dropped a lot this year. Number of USC apps dropped by 6K. That may be due to āVarsity Bluesā scandal. Georgetown was in that scandal too.
