Hello,
I’m currently a sophomore at a four year liberal arts University in the state of Georgia. I’m really hoping to transfer as a Junior to Vanderbilt, but my GPA is a main concern for me. Unfortunately, I had a kept a 3.75+ GPA until this semester, which dropped to a 3.5. What are my chances of getting into Vanderbilt with this GPA and will the school be able to take note of the GPA after this semester as well? Also, I’m looking into retaking the SAT/ACT to improve my chances of getting in. Would this be a good idea?
Thank you very much.
