Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

@jinzo000 You may want to contact your professors for the syllabi… you will need to submit them online

So I won’t know if I will be considered a freshman or sophomore until after I submit the deposit? That’s a little concerning.

Thanks @PsychPRC but that will be a pain. I have a handful of classes I took 4+ years ago at a different school…lol

@jackpot Actually you would not be considered a sophomore before you finish a writing course at Vandy

@jinzo000 I am not sure though… We were asked to submit last year for the evaluation of courses so that the dean would be able to grant credits

@PsychPRC I guess I’ll wait and see what they request lol thank you.

@PsychPRC Oh really?

@JackShort I received an email stating the standing thing and its requirement before I registered courses

@PsychPRC And that was after you put down the deposit?

@PsychPRC Really? My school has required first-year seminar courses designated as writing courses. Did you have something similar that didn’t transfer?

@JackShort sure. It was around July when we have to enroll in classes.

@usualhopeful I did but Vandy requires two writing courses. You may find this information on our AXLE page

Does the AP English Language credit count as one one writing course? ENGL 1300W?

Does Vanderbilt require you to send a course syllabus for every class you’ve taken?

I think they do

@PsychPRC I’ve got another W designated course in English, so I’m hoping all I need to do is the 200 level W (although I need to fulfill some social studies and humanities AXLE requirements anyway, so I’m not super concerned).

@usualhopeful You can fulfill the 2000W requirement by taking another 1000W course if you want to

I called and they said my first-year seminar will probably count for credit, but the writing center evaluates writing designations.

i’m anxious after that thing about 16%…

what are the odds that portals update tomorrow for second wave decisions?
