oh okay. congrats!!
Does anyone have background information on the second wave?
Whatāre the odds lol congrats to you too, sophomore or junior transfer?
I only got an email after I submitted my app just before the deadline and then I got an email today when my decision went up, but just so you know I got 2 weeks to accept so Iād imagine the second wave will come right after that probably like May 8 or somewhere around there but just a guess.
Accepted! My admissions update email went to the promotions folder for some reason so I didnāt see it until after 2 hours. Iāll leave my stats to help anyone viewing this thread in the future:
- Freshman transfer, will be entering as a sophomore
- Major: economics; mentioned Iām interested in business
- GPA: 4.0 from a T60 state school (I took 5 classes my first semester and one of them was a P so technically not a perfect 4.0)
- SAT: 1510/1600
- Extracurriculars: internship related to my major over spring semester (not with a prestigious company or anything), regular member of 2 business-related clubs, ran an eCommerce dropshipping business, Eagle Scout and some other volunteering stuff from high school
Congrats and good luck to everyone else!
I didnāt get any decisions in the first wave, I thought I completed my app on time . Am I at a disadvantage now?
Anyone have an idea if anyone was able to get of the waitlist last year?
No youāre just fine! Donāt lose hope!
Accepted! 4.0 College GPA from Decent big 10 public school, current freshman, 1360 SAT (submitted) 3.5 UW/4.4 Weighted high school GPA. I thought I had no chance with my stats but I really think my essays are what got me in. I hope everyone here who hasnāt heard back yet gets in
I was accepted earlier today!! 3.5 college GPA from a small competitive private school, current freshman, student athlete, 4.2 weighted high school GPA, 1310 SAT but had strong recommendations and a good essay. I got into peabody!! Best of luck to everyone
Accepted!! 3.95 college GPA from a mid-tier public school, good recommendations, internship, student gov, copy-editing for school newspaper
I was really paranoid that I didnāt do my essays correctly, since I didnāt talk about Vanderbilt at all in my transfer essay, but I guess that didnāt matter lol
Are second wave decisions mostly rejections? From what I have observed from previous threads, Iām seeing this trend.
My Stat:
GPA: 4.0 at the University of Rochester (got 2 pass/fail tho), incoming Sophmore.
SAT: 1460
Good ECs: research, student-run nonprofit org, internship,etc.
Essays are meh. Iād say average.
Iām super discouraged right now, got rejected by both Cornell and Northwestern. Sigh
Lol I saw u got rejected and scrolled down and saw BC got in, wondered how that happened, then saw ur comment and died lol sorry man
Hi, my child was accepted to Vanderbilt last year, but went to T30 state school with no scholarships ( do not ask me why). Do you think there is a chance to be accepted to Vanderbilt again? stats: HS GPA 4.4 W, 4.0 UW, college GPA 3.6, ok extra curriculars, recommendation letters, and essays. Thx.
ACT super score 34
Interesting. Also btw vandy never accepts CC students so I promise u thatās why u didnāt get in. They literally admit this bias on their website lol
ur right i forgot bout that
for real??? do you have the link?
Omg thank you. You made me feel so much better about myself lol
Hereās what the website says for those asking: āSince we are a residential campus community, our admission process gives preference to students who have been able to show full-time engagement and full-time enrollment in a similar campus community at their current institution.ā
Haha itās all good. I hope that person has a wonderful time at Vandy. I didnāt mean to come off as rude, I was just surprised because I havenāt really seen a GPA below 3.5 get into Vandy and I was wondering how they got in.
Iām an international student/immigrant so English isnāt my first language, and I come from a culture thatās very blunt and abrupt. My apologies @Transferhopeful44 you deserve your acceptance and your comeback is very inspiring!! Best of luck at Vandy if you decide to attend!
