Vanderbilt Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

Check back here tomorrow. Peace!

for freshman on the quarter system, they are only looking at your first quarter grades right?

@rolyat-Noc They’re going to be looking at all college grades that you have. Deciding whether or not to accept someone based on just 1/12 of the courses needed to get a college degree doesn’t tell them much at all. That’s why they still want to see your high school grades and standardized test scores.

They’re also going to be putting more weight on more difficult courses that you’ve taken. Even if you’ve gotten a very respectable GPA, it doesn’t tell the admissions office how you’ll do throughout college if you only took the easy A core classes that a lot of freshmen take their first quarter/semester at college.

In short, they’re going to evaluate your candidacy based on everything they have on you that they deem to be relevant to the admissions process. Hope that answers your question.

@juliahorses17 i hope so

Are we thinking it’s gonna be today?

doubt it - my anxiety has gone through the roof already

After all this time and anxiety, I really am just at a point where I want an answer so badly. If it’s a denial, it’s a denial
 but I need to know that already!

will check status at 5:15 and 6
 if not, my stress will eat me through the weekend

my counselor gave me the generic response that they’re released on a rolling basis.

Did u all see any updates in your portal?

Nothing @chlom

@chlom my portal has looked exactly the same since 02/29/20

@SatanFlower69 I’ve seen you on multiple threads hope you are doing well!! How’s your acceptances looking??

I was expecting Vandy to come out before Georgetown. Still haven’t heard from either. And I really just don’t feel like waiting thorugh this weekend. I’m sure I’m not alone

@mkmk29 Tired of waiting! lol Im ok though. So far accepted to UCB, UCD, UCSC and SFSU. Rejected to UNC CH and University of Richmond. Planning to attend UCD. Waiting on UCSD, Duke, Georgetown, Vanderbilt and Stanford - none of which are likely, just need confirmation so I can move forward. How about yourself?

I am in the exact same position and so frustrated. Thought Vandy would come out before Georgetown

If decisions are not released at 6:00, do you guys believe there is a possibility that they release them on a weekend?

I don’t think any previous threads have noted weekend acceptances. But its possible, I only browsed a couple pages in the last three years.

@SatanFlower69 congrats on UCB and UCD!! That’s an amazing school and your other acceptances are impressive as well. So far I have only heard back from UMich, UNC and Northwestern and have been fortunate to get into all of them!
