Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

Guys I’m freaking out.

Would some of us receive decisions today? Or tomorrow more probably.

I applied FA too. We’ll probably know (or not know) in a couple hours.

@watermychances the mid term report from the common app is filled out one by one by your teachers so idk. i emailed it last year and it was fine and it’s not a huge deal if they don’t take it since decisions are coming soon. i don’t think it’s a deal breaker so i won’t bother

@somehmonggirl Yea I am aware. I filled it out and mailed the midterm report as well. I was just saying, directly emailing a counselor might be another part of the equation that could cause a problem. Also I think if this financial aid change correlated to an upcoming acceptance we would know about it already. If you filled out the FAFSA/CSS I wouldn’t expect any change to your financial aid part of your portal unless something was unclear/wrong.

@watermychances I hesitantly agree with your financial aid justification. However, the one thing that still gives me hope that it correlates with an acceptance is the “College Enrollment Verification” change I received. Kinda sounds like a deposit.

I’m planning on calling them later today to ask about it anyways. I’ll update y’all in a few hours.

Also, I thought that financial aid and admissions are two completely separate offices? I know for freshman admissions there were schools asking for my financial aid info up to like the actual day of rejection lol.

Does anyone else have an unchecked box under FA that says “Enrollment History”? It’s been there for some time, so nothing to do with decisions, but since we are talking about it…

@mjr2013 I don’t have that one.

I don’t have that either. Just “CSS PROFILE” and “Valid Federal Application Data,” both checked.

@JSPHHAN Do you have any siblings in college? And for your FAFSA is there any letter/symbol next to your estimated EFC number? Like an *?

@JSPHHAN enrollment verification is used to prove you’re currently enrolled in college so loans can be offered

@watermychances Ah, ok. So I guess it sounds like a basic financial aid update.

@newtmon I do have a sibling that was in college, but he decided to take some time off. I do not have a symbol/letter on my FAFSA.

@JSPHHAN Huh so it doesn’t sound like just regular verification. Sounds like a good sign to me!

@newtmon I hope… I guess we’ll figure out soon! Hopefully.

Hey!!! I kinda need a favor! Could you guys look at my most recent thread and share your thoughts? Super confused and stressed

I have the Valid Federal Application Data and the CSS profile. I’m not sure what the CSS profile is though…

Does everyone’s financial aid tab say undergrad 2017-2018? I forsure thought it was something else before.

Mine says Undergrad 2017-2018
