@pearmetty I guess either whoever wrote that was lying or whoever wrote the Common Data Set for Vandy is. I’d put my bets to the website being wrong though, I think they are just trying to look more competitive.
more competitive? but they claimed the admit rate was higher than the data said it was
@pearmetty Don’t scare me like that
2015:
1,308 applied
419 accepted
419/1,308= 32%
2016:
1,337 applied
398 accepted
398/1337= 29.7%
2.3% difference
@Mastodon97 I think we have fair chances.
@somehmonggirl John Cena
Perhaps it varies from school to school.
john cana ???
*see fixed typo
John Cena*
still lost
I looked at the Common Data Set and y’all were right. I apologize for intensifying any anxiety including my own.
@pearmetty totally not your fault
@pearmetty dude your reading from a 2012 article. stop playing
https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/2012/03/so-youre-a-transfer-student/
lol to be fair i’ve totally read like every vandy admissions article just bc i’m obsessed w decisions
@HopefullyIGetIn the nerves are getting to me mate. sorry about that
lol its all good.
I think they meant 8% as in 8% of 32. A 2.3% drop makes it a bit below 93% of the previous year’s 32% acceptance rate.
@somehmonggirl your not familiar with the “And his name is john cena” body slam memes?
@somehmonggirl
Just with them saying that its 8% lower. 8% lower when you are at around 30-40% isn’t really that big of a deal as when you go 8% lower from a 10% admit rate.
@Mastodon97 its about % change of the %.
@HopefullyIGetIn i am but i still don’t get it in this context i guess
@HopefullyIGetIn “A fair chance” can mean a lot of things : /
