I’ve mentioned this in earlier posts, but take Vandy’s acceptance rate with a grain of salt. They are tearing down almost 600 rooms (most of which house transfers).

I think you should be okay at all the schools. Also, you can technically transfer out whenever. (Most schools don’t take transfer AP credit for actual credit).

Also, transfer financial aid is really difficult to get. Keep in mind that you’re entering a very different atmosphere, wherever you end up.

You will be around more… shall I say, economically elevated students. At vandy, it does have a big impact. And for some students on the other side of things, it may not be as easy to adjust.

I’m sure you’ll get into one (probably vandy), but just keep other things in mind. A 4.0 at Bama beats anything under like a 3.8 at those schools.
