Thank you to our transfer students for being patient with us throughout this process. I know the vast majority of admissions information out there aims to serve first-time freshmen and their families. However, Vanderbilt has not forsaken our transfer students! Somehow my daily responsibilities moved from regular decision mailing day to spring travel to transfer...Posted by Kylie on April 28, 2011 in Transfer Students, Academic Life at Vanderbilt, admissions, admissions blog, Admissions Statistics, Application Process, College Admissions, decision process, expanded aid, Financial Aid, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions

The first thing I would say to a student on the waitlist is congratulations. No, seriously. In this hyper competitive admissions environment our waitlist hosts an amazing selection of academic all-stars. Make no mistake- the waitlist was not haphazardly thrown together.

I had an amazing meeting with my student bloggers this past Tuesday.
