[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that Vanderbilt is arguably the most transfer-friendly school in the T20. They admit tons of transfers, like 300 per year. They're also expanding the transfer program.

Many, many kids that were rejected as freshmen get in on the second try. [/quote]

Yes.  I know a few DC private school kids who left high school with something like a 3.5/1550 due to deflated grading.   They did a year at a top15 liberal arts college, got a 4.0, transferred to Vanderbilt.  [/quote]

+2 I know 3 kids that did this in the last 2 years from DC privates[/quote]

++ they let in four kids from the same top25 LAC a couple of years ago, all were in the 1300-1400 range on SAT , not top 10% at their school, and the LAC was the best place they got into. All in state, all WL or rejected UVA, so really were not close to a Vanderbilt admit which is typically top 5% , 1500+ back precovid when they were predictable. All had been flat rejected when they first applied. All also full pay. For transfers there full pay is essential, just like it is off their WL. Vanderbilt plays a LOT of games now. The rankings has them very rattled. [/quote]
