I’m worrying that if decisions come out too late, it might be hard to find housing
That’s totally fair. I am across the street from vandy at Belmont and I go there all the time. There are new residential buildings being completed so there might be more housing to go around for everyone.
Sadly, I think housing will be an issue regardless of when the decision comes out. As transfers, we will have last choice. All worth it in my opinion, though.
I have a cat so there’s no way I could live in dorm. If I ended up at NYU I might 
since they still release decisions at May 24 last year.
I am scared about housing. I want the residential experience.
It looks like they offer unique housing experiences for transfer students. They have housing that holds 10 transfer students and an international house. Don’t know how well these work in practice though

That actually sounds pretty cool.
I know Vanderbilt really values housing and keeping students on campus. Hopefully that remains true for transfer students as well.
Forgot to mention. I don’t remember where I saw this so don’t quite me but I think they reserve some spots in their residential housing solely for transfer students. So maybe we can apply to be in some of the residential colleges?
I didn’t see where they said they reserve spots, but they do say that transfer students have the option to apply to the residential colleges.

Awesome.
I read a past forum on transfer decisions and it seems that the first wave is (mostly?) admits. Is anyone aware if rejections are also in the first wave?
Last year I got waitlisted on april 22 first wave so not rejected but not accepted? I didn’t get off

And you applied again this year?
I wonder how many students apply as juniors…
Do they send a note out before they update the portal or does it just randomly come out? How will we know when the decisions are out if on a “rolling basis”?
yeah i applied again i got waitlisted on a thursday last year so i think either today or next thursday first wave will come
