Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

@inordie I’m holding you to this. And since I kow you’ll get in I will have my address typed and ready to send as soon as decisions are out

I live here in Middle Tennessee so Vanderbilt is the only school I applied to. I am really interested in neuroscience. Their program is really the best one around here. Besides that, my fiance and I just bought a house last year and I don’t really want to move. We live just north of Nashville so Vanderbilt is the perfect school for me at this point. If I get into an Ivy for grad school, I will think about selling my house and moving then but right now it’s not really a good idea to sell right after I just bought it. Need some more equity first lol

@VaishS Lol, sure thing. Thanks for having hopes for me. And u deserve a pizza for that.
@somehmonggirl How is it like trying it second time? I’m starting to accept my faith and try second time like you.

When did vandy usually update its portal? Will we get our decisions today?

@AGoodFloridian Aww, thank you so much! That’s very sweet of you… i’m getting a little teary tbh lol <3!!!

@inordie Its nervewrecking but exciting/less terrifying because I know what to do and I feel more prepared. I really love Vandy so I don’t mind giving another shot! :slight_smile:

@luckybaby I’m thinking it’ll probably be in 3 or 4 hours.

everybodys pretty much guesing on wether we get decisions today. Nobody knows yet @luckybaby

Odds of me getting any work done this afternoon: 0%

Not gonna lie, speculating over this stuff is actually pretty goddamn addictive. I applied to 11 schools and I have only heard back from 2 so far ( got into Fordham business and UNC-Chapel Hill) the waiting process is literally never gonna end for me haha.

FA replied to my email in stunning time (less than two hours), and said that the “enrollment history” was basically a “note to self” for them due to a mark on my FAFSA and CSS. It was automatically generated and I didn’t have to do anything about it.

@fugazinikka where else you apply?
Vandy
UNC
Fordham
What else?

I also just called FA about the additional requirements that they needed. It turns out that they just need more information to figure out my package.

Do you think they’ll release the decision today or Friday? I applied to vandy, UNC (oos, waitlisted), uva, and Tulane(admitted). I am coming from a stem school and was wondering if school rigor factors into admissions, any idea?

You’re opening up a can of worms, I’m liable to talk about that legit all day hahaha.
Vandy
UNC
UVA
Fordham
Emory
Boston College
Tufts
Northeasterm
Hopkins (Bae)
Brown (also Bae)
Columbia (not a chance)

@racecarfanboy25 I got into Northwestern coming from a v small public university. So I wouldn’t say it makes a huge difference

Anyone think there’s a chance of some decisions being released today?

@limitsbylaw I think we’ve speculated that they may come out today as portals were down last night.

Then again, we’ve speculated they’ll come out on a lot of days.

We have literally speculated every day and we are always wrong hahaha

Tomorrow is also Good Friday so idk if they are working tomorrow, so it makes a lot of sense to release decisions today.
