Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

AGHH sorry cc blocked it for some reason. the pic was hosted by tiny pic without the space. it’s just a screenshot of a convo with my friend and i about vandy transfer admissions

why lord i just wanted to share a meme

@somehmonggirl stop using bad words!

@somehmonggirl The link doesn’t seem to work. Is there a different way to see it?

I just checked last year’s thread, two discoveries: 1) on April 11, right before first wave comes out, someone called and the ao said mid-April referring to the next week; 2) first to report his result received email around 3:10 central time

guess no decisions uggg :I

yeah I guess it will be 17th lol

Is there anything set in stone that says that decisions come out on Mondays and/or Fridays?

I’d give it another hour and a half (by then the admissions office at Vandy will be closed), to make any conclusions.

Do you guys think I have a chance for transfer admission?
College GPA: 4.0
High School: 3.4 weighted GPA
SAT-1500/2400
I took 10 AP Classes All in total

I am a black male from the hood, who watched his cousin get shot by gang members, and has had to take care of a mom who had a stroke. But I have some very awesome extra curricular activities. I am president of my school’s debate team, and I’ve had to be the coach and president because our school couldn’t afford a coach. I am ranked as the best teenage orator in my city, and one of the top 80 orators in the nation. First black to win the California State championship in speech and debate. I started a tutoring program for black students at my school, because blacks were performing way lower than other ethnic groups. And because of that program, all of the failing black students who participated in the program ended up passing. I interned for a state senator, and when interning for him I hosted a debate tournament for inner-city youth. In addition, I wrote a bill called AB 672 which gives assistance to prisoners who are wrongfully convicted. The bill that I wrote was actually voted by the California State senate and signed by the state governor, and now the bill I wrote is now in effect. I also have won several awards for Mock Trial, Academic Decathlon, and I am a columnist for a local newspaper. I also have stopped a lot of peers in my neighborhood from joining gangs and getting addicted to drugs. My grades are low, but I’ve done amazing things. Do you think that they’ll look past my low high school gpa and test scores and give me a chance?

@amoore001 wow that backstory tho. You will get in 100%. U could prob even have a decent shot in any top 10 schools.

@amoore001 I’d think you have a good chance of being accepted, holistically speaking. Also, what debate did you do?

Original Oratory

@amoore001 Wait is that test score 1500 total out of 2400?

@amoore001 And you won state in Cali? That’s an impressive feat!

@amoore001 Yeah, I wouldn’t be too worried. You have a GREAT backstory and colleges love to see that. Your stats are pretty solid, which only reinforces your chances.

@amoore001 If they look past that test score (and I’m pretty sure they will), you are 100% in :slight_smile:

@amoore001 what major are you applying as?

you could get into ANY school!!!

@amoore001 what are your chances? are you kidding me? ANY college would accept you with a story like that.
