Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

hi guys! i got accepted last week to peabody. is any one looking for a roommate? i am from california and definitely want to join a sorority!

Last year, I was accepted on May 2nd! That seems to be a big date for decisions :slight_smile:

@phoenix23 okay cool, where are you from like what state? Bc I still have not recieved anything in the mail from them- maybe this means I didnt actually get in

okay cool thanks @limitsbylaw

@limitsbylaw also was it like a big packet? or just a small envelope that could fit in a PO box?

@srubien If I get in we should totally talk!! I’m applying into Peabody and I want to join a sorority too!!

@srubien @natnat2121 me too if i get in y’all, but i’ll be a rising junior so watch me ~~informal rush~~ lol (oh yeah also i’m applying to CAS though haha)

@financeguyjames it was large but thin (if that makes any sense). I’m guessing it might not fit in a P.O. box

Is anyone else worried about credits transferring? My school’s credit hour system is very different from Vanderbilt and I took a lot of classes for my general education requirements that I doubt translate to Vandy. It seems super unfair to me that admitted students have to make their decisions while being so uninformed in something so important. :confused:

Well if it makes anyone feel any better, I’ve heard from past transfer students that Vandy is really generous with credit transferring. Maybe try to get in contact with current transfers at Vandy and see how they fared? There is a FB group called Vanderbilt Transfers 2016 with last years transfers that you could try to fish for info in.

I’m concerned about credits too. My school has a normal course load of 4, 4-credit courses. Lab courses are the same number of credits. It wouldn’t be the end of the world, but I’d rather not be a couple hours behind because non-lab courses just get transferred as 3 credits each.

I’m in Illinois @financeguyjames

Anyone think more decisions will be out today?

I suppose tomorrow is the day.

Mine came out on Tuesday :D, so most likely it’s tomorrow

Hoping for today. Maybe Tuesday was an anomaly because of Easter Weekend (I just want a decision!)

They just confirmed receiving my update on Friday lol

i still have not got my packet, is this bad? @limitsbylaw @phoenix23

also did you guys get it sent to ur house or ur po box at your college? @limitsbylaw @phoenix23

@luckybaby what do you mean? did u call and ask, what did they say specifically?
