    When can transfers expect a decision date for the fall 2015 semester?

    Thanks for the question, Malik. We will begin sending out notifications on a rolling basis to transfer applicants in mid-April.

    Transfer students live in the same housing as other upper class students at Vanderbilt. You can see more information about incoming transfers at https://admissions2025.vanderbilt.edu/assets/pdf/transfer2019.pdf Thanks for your question.

    Mr Watson, I have submitted my transfer application at march 15th, and I haven’t heard back yet at this point, does that mean my chances of acceptance is pretty low by now? have the admissions office released the majority of acceptance decisions? thank you very much!

    Thank you for your question, Yaoxian. Our transfer admission process is ongoing. We will continue to send notifications to transfer applicants as the process continues. Check your email and your MyAppVU for updates. Thank you!

    Good day! I am currently attending an online school which is convenient for our family travels. However, I am looking forward to moving to TN where I want to call it home and was looking to transfer since it will be near as well as it is an APA accredited school where I can still continue with my goal of obtaining a PhD in my future. Problem is, I do not have majority of the admission required paperwork. Will that be a problem? If so, does that mean I would have to start over again with my SAT? I took them over 12 yrs ago.

    Thank you for your interest in Vanderbilt. It sounds like you are a transfer student. Vanderbilt considers you a transfer student if you have completed the equivalent of at least 12 semester hours of credit, after completing high school (high school degree or GED). You can get more information about transfer admissions at https://admissions2025.vanderbilt.edu/prospective/transfer.php. We do require all items on the application checklist in order to be considered for admission. If you have more detailed questions about any particular items on the checklist or if you’d like to discuss your individual circumstances, feel free to get in touch with your Vanderbilt admissions counselor. You can find your counselor at https://admissions2025.vanderbilt.edu/your-counselor/ If you are a transfer applicant, your counselor is based on the location of the high school from which you graduated. Thank you again for your interest in Vanderbilt.

    Hey Mr Watson, I hope you see this quick question. I’m wanting to transfer to Vanderbilt, but I can only find deadlines for the 2017 Fall Semester, is it not possible to transfer for the 2017 Spring Semester? Thanks

    Thanks for your question, Andrew. At Vanderbilt, all transfer admission is for the fall semester – we do not admit for the spring semester. We will have more information about transfer admission for Fall 2017 as the year goes on. Again, thanks for your interest in Vanderbilt.

    Thanks for your questions, Arianna. We have no Early Decision plan for transfer admission. March 15 is the priority deadline for transfer applications, and we definitely encourage you to submit your application by then. Transfer students have their own move-in and orientation in August, and I do not believe they can enroll in summer courses beforehand. I suggest contacting the office of Transition Programs for more information on that question. Thanks!
