Vanderbilt Transfer Thread [Fall 2017]

That’s so odd. Not what I’ve read from other discussions. I’ll probably hop off CC and not think about it until the mysterious time finally comes

I wouldn’t be surprised if they only have one more wave - with accepts, rejects, and waitlists

On an individual basis seems like such a hassle, doesn’t it?
Though it could be a play on words hahaha, if they release multiple decisions which were reviewed on an individual basis in one day, wouldn’t that technically constitute as a wave? :))

What’s wrong with the waves, granted they have established dates?

i don’t think those front desk people know what they’re talking about. Somebody call their admissions counselor !! mine said to just keep checking every day (my portal). i was like holding back my scoff.

So… I just called my admission counselor and it went to his voicemail. I was about to hang up when I realized his voicemail message was a little different than usual. He says that he is out of the country doing recruiting and will only be back…

May 29th.

So… GG =))

edit: Nevermind! Just called the frontdesk and the lady (who took a deep breath when I said the word “transfer”) who picked up said that he can still make decisions even while abroad. Imagine having that much work on your plate hahaha

@AGoodFloridian it’s also possible that your app could get passed off to another counselor, or that he’s done most of the work on the apps he had if he wasn’t in charge of a great number of regions.

This could even be really good news in that maybe most of his work is done in terms of reviewing apps and thus we could get a second wave soon.

Just between you and me, @deterr , I called another admission counselor and asked about mine, and he said “Knowing that guy, he probably finished all of them before he left.”

So your hypothesis is most likely correct :slight_smile:

nothing today

@somehmonggirl Same

Argh, another weekend it seems. :confused: Fingers crossed for next week being transfer week (as it seems as though this week was waitlist week, huh?)

I honestly didn’t think this would happen but here it is: It’s my birthday and still no decision lol! I hope Garth Parke peeps the date of birth and feels inclined to accept :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d be shocked if they don’t release anything in the next few days; according to the site, they’re usually done getting decisions out around mid-May.

@limitsbylaw Yikes, it’s starting to look like there will be one big final wave with the rest decisions. Either that or they’ll start releasing decisions on a daily/bidaily basis.

This is all assuming that they will uphold the “by mid May” deadline.

hate to be that person, but they specifically say mid to late may. so… we still have like three weeks until “late may”

is anybody looking for a roommate? message me!

THE PORTAL IS DOWN AGAIN. I THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BIG WAVE.

@luckybaby mine is still up and looks same it has for five months now

@mjr2013 same

It works well now. But it was down from 4am to just now for me.

Hey all,

I have been checking this page a lot and I thought I should let you all know I was denied when I checked my portal today at 10am. Im not too surprised since Vanderbilt was a big reach for me. Good luck to everyone still waiting and I hope you hear soon!!
