To me, math is a joke as I don’t even know how to do it besides finding loopholes and shortcuts and memorizing that. I would say that I’m stronger in English than math, but my SAT scores said otherwise I had such a higher difference in scores when it came to the SAT. It also wouldn’t help for me to brush up on English or actually learn some Math. I would appreciate any sources I can get-that is, for if I decide transferring into Vandy is worth it to me. I have a lot of options right now, and I want to be certain I choose the right path. So, if anyone could give me any insight about it, that would be great. She also mentioned that Vandy fondly looks upon applicants who applied previously, and the majority of transfer students did not receive admission the first time around. I was told by my admissions counselor that the transfer class typically consists of 220 students-give or take-who are all applying either from the United States or internationally. I am not a good test-taker, and I know that you have to submit test scores along with your application. I know that the transfer rate is pretty high compared to other highly selective universities, but I do not know if this is something I should really pursue. I was told that I should try transferring into Vanderbilt, but I am unsure about that. I am curious as to what exactly the transfer process is like. Now, it was more about luck than anything. In past years, per every accepted candidate, 9 who are similar to that applicant is turned down. After the shock wore off, I realized that there were just too many qualified applicants for such few spots. Was it because I did not want to not take certain classes such as Physics? I wondered if it was because of what I did was not enough, as my school does not offer AP classes or have an IB program. I sat there in shock, wondering if it was a mistake for nearly an hour. As soon as I opened that portal, to my disappointment, it was a denial of admissions. I even wore my Vanderbilt sweatshirt and brought my pennant to my computer when I opened my portal in hopes that it would be an acceptance. I was so anxious to get my response back. Over the past four years, I spent hours and hours on end researching Vanderbilt and Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, along with his family and his grandson George Washington Vanderbilt who spent the family fortune to build America’s largest estate. With each visit, I fell in love with the campus more and more each day. I live in Southern California, and I have visited the campus three times. I would definitely say I have an unhealthy obsession with Vandy. It was my dream university for as long as I could remember. So, I applied early decision to my dream school: Vanderbilt University.
