Vanderbilt University Transfer Thread Fall 2016

I asked my counselor about how it works and they said “We do a rolling admission for our transfers which is why you may see a bunch here and there. We do it based on application submission and completion date.” I feel like this is total bs because people on here that said they sent their apps in the day of the deadline have heard back and people who did it early have not

Totally agree!!! @123454321M

Does anyone know why the transfer acceptance rate is so high? Like is there a reason why there are so many spots to fill?

Accepted junior standing.

2020 SAT
3.7 College GPA (Umass Amherst - Isenberg)

Too many ECs to count with multiple internships in the financial field which is my area of focus (IBD)

I have only completed 60 credits at UMass and I’m not sure how the transfer credits work. Do you think I can graduate on time (2years)?

Also, how does one apply / inquire about financial aid?

Looking forward to seeing everyone in the fall,
Owen

I should have applied here, I’m so upset

Question for my fellow business nerds: What will your official major/minor be at Vandy?

@NjTransfer2016 If I get in I’ll be majoring in Economics, and will look into the possibility of a computer science or liberal arts minor.

@NjTransfer2016 I will probably major in Econ and then minor in financial economics or corporate strategy in the managerial studies program

I got Vandy’s email address Monday and received two “death notifications” so far…

@NjTransfer2016 I’ll be double majoring in Leadership & Organizational Effectiveness as well as Economics.

@gabriel609 Is it possible to major or minor in something outside of your admitted college? Just wondering because I’m econ but am also quite interested in computer science, but was under the impression that I’d have to apply to the School of Engineering.

@francefrys - I know you can minor outside of your admitted school. I’m not sure about majoring.

Hello
Does anyone know how housing works for transfer students?
Thanks!

@francefrys I emailed them yesterday and asked the same question.
“Yes, this is possible. In fact, many of our students double major or minor accross schools. If you are interested in doing this, it would be beneficial for you to take courses on both tracks as soon as possible.”

Will they release more decisions tomorrow?

@resonanx Hopefully they do! I submitted my app the end of February and have yet to hear anything so at this point I’m not expecting good news but we’ll see!

@transfer33316 may I know who is your admission counselor?

@resonanx Mine is Shane McGuire! I know others who have him have already received a decision

I know this has been asked but has any one heard from Allison Key yet?

at least for me, not yet
