Vanderbilt Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

I got that email too! Do we think it’s good news if we got it? Also, has everyone received a decision?

I think everyone on the WL got that email.

What do you guys think it might be? Could it be that a wave of waitlist acceptances are coming?

@Ryckmann1334452 i really hope so! but didn’t you just say that you talked to your AO and they don’t see any spots opening up because they have the transfer class that they like already?

@americannk thats what I last heard, but the situation could have changed. I sure hope that it has. Has anyone contacted their AOs about the current class size??

just to make sure, no one has gotten in yet through the waitlist, right?

Is anyone still waiting for a decision?

Yup. My guess is that no one has heard from Wait List, otherwise we would have heard.

5 people were added to the 2020 Vanderbilt fall transfer Facebook group in the past week. The page is private but you can see the total number of members and Facebook says how many were added within the past week.

There’s a total of 321 people in the group but 6 of them are administrators so there were at least 315 people accepted as transfers so far. Obviously not everybody has a facebook and people may have left or not even joined the group in the first place but I just thought I’d share this information.

@boomeranggecko That’s super helpful! Do you know how many transfers they typically accept? Also, for everyone else: I talked to my AO today and she told me that the waitlist is need-aware. I asked if they were still accepting people off of the waitlist and she told me yes, though she didn’t know when waves will be released. Hope this is helpful!

@tingkerbell last year it was about 400 with about 200 of those 400 actually enrolling.

ACCEPTED off the waitlist 10 minutes ago. For Economics. Community college transfer as well.

For everyone admitted off the waitlist, can you please specify if you applied for FA? Curious to see how much of an impact it has since the WL is apparently need-aware.

I just got off the waitlist. Math major, didn’t apply for FA.

Also didn’t apply for aid

Hey just got that same email…did yours say class of 2024/ 2023??

Congratulations to everyone who got off the WL today!

*2024 or 2023

mine said class of 2024 though I am supposed to be a junior. I am confused about the instructions too
