not sure if you understand the type of school that Vanderbilt is, you will have to convey that in your essay/reason for transfer. If u are doing well at Rochester, why do you want to transfer, they are two very different schools. Vanderbilt has a very large and dominating drinking/frat/partying scene, while Rochester isn’t. that’s one of the main reasons people go there and also one of the main reasons why people stay away.

Your SATs are fine, Vanderbilt has gotten more selective in the recent years due to the surge in application #s, but it’s still not that bad. Plus your gpa is more important.
