Vanderbilt University Fall 2021 Transfer Thread

Ok just to add my not needed input, lol. I think that the next wave is gonna be next week. So, two weeks from the one that happened before.

Transferring as a Junior
3.43 unweighted HS GPA
3.6 College GPA from a Top 50 private school (brought up from a 2.8)

Genuinely phenomenal essays…I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason I made the waitlist. I’m pretty happy with the result to be fair. Best of luck to everyone else and hopefully everyone finds the right school for them, vandy or otherwise :slight_smile:

Did anyone in this thread get accepted in Political Science. Most were waitlisted in the first wave, I guess?

Did you write an essay about your EC along with an essay about why you wanted to go to Vanddy?

For those of you that got accepted in the first wave: any of you thinking of rejecting the offer?

Anyone know when the next wave might come out?

I’m predicting around May 8th. But could be sooner because someone posted about an admitted transfer students event on May 3rd so maybe this Thursday if we’re lucky.
