Vanderbilt University Fall 2021 Transfer Thread

Waitlisted, CAS Political science… I am now thinking about how many applicants are there this year and how many wait-list they sent out? Hope our final decision will be soon posted as they claim they will in the decision letter.

Waitlisted CAS

I have a 3.96 and I’m still waitlisted, not sure what I did wrong. I thought I have decent ECs and essays

High school gpa?

She doesn’t know because she’s still waiting on 4 schools.

I’m waiting on two school. Is the waitlist a “soft” rejection or does it potentially move?

thought essays were ok/decent
Got into USC and Umich though so sad but not that sad just don’t know where I did wrong
:(((

Waitlisted today. I was supposed to be flat out rejected so I’m shocked and honestly, grateful.

I looked at last year’s transfer waitlist thread any literally NOBODY got off, oh well, guess I should probably move on.

I looked at 2019 and they didn’t take any of the posters off the waitlist either. Doesn’t seem like there’s much of a chance. Guess that first wave was most of the acceptances and they’re just keeping us dangling for who knows what reason.

ETA: remember this is a small sample size so there could have been people who did get off the WL but they weren’t posters on CC. Personally I think odds of getting of any WL are always a bit low.

I was waitlisted at Vanderbilt yesterday as well. At least I was already accepted to UCLA, so I will be paying my deposit soon. I think I would go to Vanderbilt over UCLA, but UCLA is very appealing as well. I am glad the decision from Vanderbilt is over, but being on the waitlist feels like even more torture! I just want a final decision already.

Does anyone know the odds of being accepted off of the Vanderbilt waitlist for transfer students? Thank you!

if we do get off the waitlist, when would we find out?

Not sure, some of us still haven’t even heard our first decisions, so I’d assume at some point in June you will hear

This process is perplexing. I still don’t get the waitlisting before reviewing everyone!

I don’t get any of this tbh. What sucks even more is that the waitlist is rolling too
