From your username, you seem pretty serious about Investment Banking. Vanderbilt is good, but certainly will be harder to get into an EB or BB coming from there compared to the school you currently attend.

Same issue. UVA is a Semi-Target, most likely won’t be a target for most EB or some BB. If you want to transfer for solely the social aspect, look at transferring to another Target.
Don’t do it. Vandy is solid but just stick with it you’ll have good coke and hookers after.

Don’t. do. it.
Do it, social time at college is arguably more important and I know plenty of people from Vanderbilt that has gotten into IB. It doesn't matter that much as long as you network and know your technicals.
I think the main concern is what people will think about your judgment if you “downgrade” schools. I’ve already had some weird looks when people see I transferred from UVA/UT/UMich to a NESCAC — even though LACs are better educationally (and socially for me). Just be able to explain it better than “social reasons” alone because the question will come up in interviews and maybe even tap into your target school’s network a bit. Mind me asking what school you’re currently at?

Vandy offered better aid than Duke? I guess that flies, but don’t both meet 100% need? I think they want to hear your “why not” Duke a bit more clearly so as long as you can articulate that. Duke and Vandy are very lateral/equal in regular people’s perceptions but for IB Duke punches way higher (solid BofA pipeline).
You don’t completely kill your chances but it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say they’re maybe 20% worse at Vandy. Although the transfer story played out very cool for me in interviews because I explained pedagogical fit/high school back story for why the NESCAC was my dream school, etc.
Just have a good story I guess, but Duke seems awesome, not sure why you’d want to leave for “social” reasons as stated before.
Just curious, as a NESCAC guy how do u rate Williams for IB? Target? Semi target? Deciding between them & Rice
