<p>I applied to Vanderbilt as a transfer and recently got a letter saying they would make a final decision on my application when they receive my spring semester grades. If anyone knows if this was normal and if it is negative or positive it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>My daughter got the same letter. She is currently a freshman so it doesn't surprise me that they want to see spring semester grades. Vanderbilt also doesn't take many transfer students and I would bet most of them are rising juniors.</p>
<p>Actually, I'm pretty sure most of Vandy's transfers are sophomores.</p>
