<p>I was accepted as a transfer this spring to Vanderbilt, and while researching the school I found those exact same statistics. It should be noted that those came from before the school instituted its new financial aid policy. The 2008 freshman admissions cycle had about a 33% acceptance rate, while this year’s freshman class had one around 19% (what I’ve heard). The new financial aid clearly made the university must more competitive. However, Vandy does look favorably upon transfers, which is why the rate is relatively high.</p>
