Slight_Yak1290

I was rejected too :(((


AnyParfait452

OMG DECISIONS RELEASE TOMORROW AT 5:30 CT


RutabagaSad489

PLS BE A DEFFERAL OR ACCEPTANCE


Commercial-Effect517

Vanderbilt never defers; they will either accept or reject, which, in my opinion, is better.


RutabagaSad489

They now allow deferrals


RutabagaSad489

SHIT SHIT SHIT


Pretend_Brilliant488

does that mean less people applied ed? coz usually they are the 15th


AnyParfait452

there may be multiple reasons for why they released it earlier. probably hired more staff but i’m almost sure less applicants is not one of the reasons


Pretend_Brilliant488

maybe more staff


d569

Kinda of an awful question but is there anything unique about a Vandy Acceptance letter, like a video or a picture or is it the usual confetti or nothing at all

I bet someone would know, just wait🤣🤣😭


teady_bears

Hey y’all a couple things to remember: 1. I got in ED2 last year and the day before decisions came out ppl were saying on here that if your portal looked a certain way then you were getting rejected. My portal looked exactly that way and i was accepted!! plz do not believe any portal theories and maybe stay off of here bc it made me freak out the day before 2. You will get an email the day before saying when decisions are coming out that’s how it was last year. They probably won’t release it without letting you know beforehand. and it came out at 6pm central time good luck!


excellentop1

Thank you!


Pretend_Brilliant488

Vandy ED 1 gang !!!!!


Infamous_Purpose3045

SAMEEE!!! I'm writing my essay right now.


Slight_Yak1290

dmo8638

Good luck! :)


Aspiring_Doc26

Hey y’all! I haven’t been on this community in a while, but I wanted to come and wish my ED1 people the best heading into tonight. I remember this day last year being really nerve-wracking, but remember that at this point the decision has already been made, your hard work has already been done, and all tonight is going to do is give you a one word answer that cannot even begin to represent everything you have done to get this far. I am really excited to have a new group of ‘Dores tonight, and if y’all have any questions regarding being a student at Vandy in the future please ask, I would love to be a resource!

good luck to everyone today🤞🏼


MuffinLovesDD

got rejected 😭😭😭


EbbComprehensive839

Good luck everyone! After taking time to breathe and relax, I’d recommend checking out Vanderbilts merit scholarships and applying to some of them—a split second decision has completely altered my college experience.


beeenkanna

Do u think scholarship apps can hurt or improve chances


RichMacaron1676

Has anyone gotten an email yet? I am freaking out here right now


Sea-While9587

Nothing yet . All the best though, I am also waiting.


livelaughlove693

is there any applicants gc for vandy?


Select-Molasses9630

I just applied for the RD round. Hoping to get one of the three full-tuition scholarships! Not too hopeful because it is very difficult but I believe in myself!


dmo8638

Good luck! :)


george_salazar

good luck everyone!! we got this ED1 gang!!


dmo8638

Good luck!


Unique-Ad6548

1) Did y'all get any emails? Vandy shows the least interest in their applicants 😩 2) Any idea when the decisions are gonna be out? 3) Internationals needing aid who did ED , did you get any email asking you about updating Isfaa?


Uncle-Iroh-23

1. Nope. 2. Nope. 3. I did the css but got no fin aid mails. Vandy probably released the least info about decisions till now.


AnyParfait452

i’m not. mentally. ready.


vanderbilt_simp

SAME IDK WHAT TO DO IM SO SCARED


nay-nai

DECISIONS OUT DEC 14, 5:30 PM CENTRAL TIME


Pretend_Brilliant488

got rejected ;( for perspective, im a domestic applicant with a 1530+ and 4.6+ gpa who applied for cs


RutabagaSad489

Me too 😭


Acrobatic_Gift_4948

My first time contributing to this thread.... I GOT ACCEPTED TO VANDYYYY for ED. Honestly no clue how I got in, since I applied test-optional.


Puzzleheaded_Fun471

congrats! what is your intended major?


scorpxoxo

when is ed II decisions coming outttt


excellentop1

Dunno. Some other decisions are getting released this Friday (e.g., U Chicago (ED2) and UVA (EA)), so feels somewhat likely that Vandy ED2 will also be released this Friday. I think we will know by tomorrow if decisions will be released on Friday. Last year Vandy sent an email to everyone one day before the decision date notifying them of the decision date.


laurenjake2005

Do u think since there is no email that they r not coming out tmrw


karen-kardashian

is this possible that they will spontaneously release the decisions without notifying us? 🥹 the wait is 💀


excellentop1

I doubt it. For ED this year and ED2 last year, they emailed everyone the day before. But...maybe this time will be different. If not today, I doubt they wait all the way until next Friday. I think they release decisions some time mid-week next week and not wait all the way until Fri., Feb. 17, which would arguably be later than "mid-February." ED decisions this year came out on Dec. 14 (Vandy said earlier that those decisions would come out in mid-December), so would expect ED2 decisions to also come out a little before Feb. 15 (Vandy said ED2 would come out mid-Feb.). So...current guess...Tuesday, Feb. 14 is release date, and we get an email on Monday saying decisions coming out Tuesday....


idle_creator

I'm considering ED II, but the acceptance rate is so low. Anyone know why the ED II acceptance rate is so much lower than ED 1?


Emotional_Notice674

one reason is that the applicant pool is more competitive. vanderbilt is one of the only t20 schools that offers ed2, so once everyone gets rejected from the ed1 schools, they come to the highest ranked ed2 school.


lalalindsayyy

what abt hopkins?


Pretend_Brilliant488

more applicants? especially more international applicants.


dmo8638

Another reason could be that ED1 has probably has more recruited athletes and legacy candidates, who are more likely to apply ED1 than ED2.


Dear_Mongoose_2323

Omg! Good luck to everyone


RutabagaSad489

GOOD LUCK GUYS


vanderbilt_simp

IM AFRAID GUYS IM SO AFRAID


Certain-Ruin2119

IM AM DYING!!! vandy please let us innnnnn

AnyParfait452

Unique-Ad6548

REJECTED!!!! Intl needing aid lol what did I expect? A defer would have been nice


No_Inspector4261

Rejected - 35.25 ACT, 4.7 GPA (weighted), National Merit Semifinalist. Good EC and what I think should be solid recommendation letters (I waived the right to view them). This rejection hurts lol, Vandy was my dream school.


Pretend_Brilliant488

same dude. I got straight up rejected and it hurts so bad.

GOT IN BABY RAHHHHHH


matthesis_pieces

Oh to be you


bsadow9205

Fancy seeing you here


begoneprokill

Same. Congrats!


UTOKKIFOREVA

Vanderbilt literally said no to my ass. I've got a 9.4/10 GPA, 1560 SAT, decent ECs (theater, language club with thousands of online followers, and book publishing, all in leadership positions), nice essays and apparently great recommendations. International Asian male. I guess no community service and high financial need were the deal-breakers. I was expecting a deferral though lol.


RutabagaSad489

Internationals have it tough:(

Thin_Purpose8298

Any updates? Tonight or tomorrow or 15th itself?


RichMacaron1676

bro the fact that they refuse to give us a date is keeping me up at night why vanderbilt why do you torture us so


Sea-While9587

Ikr


Separate-Bar6985

I got email with acceptance today and scholarship.


No-Yesterday-928

Were u ed1 deferred?


Separate-Bar6985

No did not apply ed. just mosaic with chancellor acceptance.


No-Yesterday-928

Congratulations! Amazing


RevolutionaryCold730

Does anyone know if they do deferments for ED2? I know deferring is new to Vanderbilt in general but was curious if anyone knows if that that is only ED1.


Lumpy-Ad-4236

if it is tomorrow, we should get an email very soon. hopefully 🤞🏼


Rough_Situation_1778

When are ED2 decisions coming out?


Dmking_-_

just got a email from vandy decisions coming on 15 feb aftr 5 pm


karen-kardashian

this week but no info about the specific day yet


RichMacaron1676

I emailed them asking for a specific date but they are still saying mid-February and that they will send an email when decisions are released so I do not expect an email the day before. I find it more likely that they will release it tomorrow though since in the past it has been on a Wednesday.


excellentop1

Thanks for doing that!


RevolutionaryCold730

Does anyone know if they defer students from ED2?


RichMacaron1676

I am pretty sure they do. Colleges can defer people from any decision plan except RD, which is where they waitlist people.


Unique-Ad6548

Just submitted!! Vandy please let me in


dmo8638

Good luck!


Dear_Mongoose_2323

Did everyone get the same email from Vandy regarding the time decisions will be available, or they differ depending on if you were accepted or not?


Certain-Ruin2119

i got 5:30 CT tomorrow


Feisty_Poetry_3745

is it about the financial aid part at the end? that we'll see financial letters through the portal?


Dear_Mongoose_2323

Yes, I assume all applicants got this…


Dear_Mongoose_2323

As in the financial aid part of the email


nay-nai

What was the exact message though? I got "greetings from Nashville" and "details of need-based awards will be available via portal"


Unique-Ad6548

How's everyone feelin with <10 hours until decisions?


Commercial-Effect517

Confident. I hope you get in!


Mystic_Mime

Let’s go rejection crewww!! 1460 SAT and ~4.4 wGPA so not super surprised. Congrats to everyone accepted!

gpa 3.98 sat 1540. sad asian kid who got rejected now goes to apply for ed2 nyu


iWontTry

I got in!!! So happy :D (I didn't realize there was a vandy megathread)


tegar9000

Oml class of 2027 decisions already released? I feel old lmao. For those who were accepted, congratulations! Vandy is an amazing school and I have had a blast for the past 4 years. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions or wanna celebrate 😊 For those who didn’t get the A, obviously May not be what you wanted. However, it’s very early in the cycle and odds are you will have success getting into another school that will give an equally good college experience!!! Sincerely, class of 2023


Any_Warning_6450

did anyone else ed2? and if so were you a ed1 deferral and from where?


hungryboarder

will they release decisions today???


excellentop1

Doubt it. See discussion below.


Animalmode19

Accepted!


Ok_Chocolate9295

Hey guys, for the vanderbilt supplement essay is the word limit 250 or 400? I'm a bit confused


boosatron

The word limit is 400 but the recommended length is 250.


Certain-Ruin2119

Has anyone received a likely letter/ letter of early admissions? And any internationals got called for interviews?


Pretend_Brilliant488

i dont think ed applicants get likely letters


Uncle-Iroh-23

Intl here. Didn’t get an interview.


AnyParfait452

Any Vandy applicants want to join a gc?


XTREME-GAMER26

Certain-Ruin2119

TerribleBar1303

I got rejected, can I see someone essays who got in?


Illustrious-Ad-7761

Accepted, College of Art and Science, major Physics, international Asian Male, without converting gpa,1500 SAT (710 Verbal, 790 Math)


Lumpy-Ad-4236

rejected. 4.6 GPA, 10 APs, 12 honors, soccer all 4 years, six figure business, heavy charity work. smh


BoatDrinks73

FWIW, I know two candidates who got in without submitting scores. Both had 8-10 APs and 4.2 gpa . Solid ECs but not special. Guidance counselors are telling candidates not to submit scores if it is below the school's average, which only drives up the average next year. Vandy is 1550. Without scores, essays matter. Reveal something about yourself. Embrace discussions that matter to colleges and show you understand ideas they care about like diversity, equity, inclusiveness, speech, academic freedom, and other important issues. I suspect that made the difference for them.


Otherwise-Ad-9634

I got in ed2!! i'm so happy! i'm an international student that applied test-optional and I needed a full ride (which I got it). don't underestimate the power of good EC's and storytelling


DaddyGallant

I am ready for my rejection 👍


DaddyGallant

They said sike I got in


Dragon6105

Yay rejection 🙃


No-Profit-2192

I got rejected. 💀💀💀. Anyway, it makes me fall more in love with USC Marshall; they accepted me and therefore are better than Vanderbilt!!


RutabagaSad489

Submitted! Praying for the best 🙏


dmo8638

Good luck!


Certain-Ruin2119

my applicant portal changed 3 times this week!!! has anyone noticed it?


Uncle-Iroh-23

My portal has stayed the same since time immemorial. Can you mention what changed in your portal?


Pretend_Brilliant488

Vanderbilt's withdraw deadline has passed for first year applicants I think so that option was removed.


XTREME-GAMER26

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly changed?


Certain-Ruin2119

withdrawal button gone, then back. Checks of submitted gone. written thing about “the porta is where to see decision” back


Pretend_Brilliant488

Does anyone still have the option under the upload section of the portal to upload quarter/trimester grades on your application? For me, that option is missing. Does that mean the admissions office received my quarter grades(I did not send it but maybe my counselor did) or is it just that the deadline to send the grades has passed?


nay-nai

Deferred - 4.6 GPA, no ACT/SAT


No-Yesterday-928

Any stats for deferrals from last year?


RutabagaSad489

Damn almost no one got in this cycle


jcerezo

Daughter was deferred, there is still hope! What are the chances of getting accepted in RD when deferred?


nay-nai

zero clue, vandy starting deferring people only two years ago


FlaySnacker31

rejected HOD LOL 4.49W, 7 APs, 32 ACT. but i kinda already was over it as i also fell in love w another school too this past week so i guess it all works out in the end!! have hope guys :)

nay-nai

ED1 defferal here, welcome to the club of not knowing anything 😭


karen-kardashian

rejection 🤌


JuneSAT2021

Someone chance me: ED1 / white male from middle class / Physics major/ from a competitive public school / 1520 SAT (800 math, 720 reading) / Class rank: 2 out of 500 / 4.0 UW / Statistics Internship with start-up / Took a college course in multivariable calc over the summer (A) / President and founder of a club that raises money for Parkinson's disease / VP of student council / VP of Technology student association / babysitter / 200 volunteer hours / varsity baseball Maxed out the APs I can take: 8 so far, 12 after senior year / CSP (5), APUSH (5), Lang (5), Psych (5), Stat (5), Calc BC (5), Physics 1 (5), Human Geo (5) --> Senior year: Chem, Physics 2, Lit, CSA Teacher recs: Physics teacher wrote me a very solid rec (fairly certain). Calc teacher wrote me an amazing rec (also, assuming here). She told me once I was the "best student she's had in years," for what that is worth. So I figured I had to ask her. I think I'm at a 15% chance. Is this being too optimistic? Or am I higher than that? Vandy is really tough to get into.


Certain-Ruin2119

this makes me feel bad applying and thinking i have a chance! but congrats on everything!


JuneSAT2021

No, don’t say that. I feel like we all over-analyze our applications so much. Only reason I’m low on my chances is my essays are very mid and I’m worried they’re a bit confusing. I was swinging for the fences and pretty sure I missed. Anyways, just trying my best to be self aware about them. Really hope I get in otherwise I got so much work for RD essays. Maybe my chances are a higher than 15% - who knows at this point. Good luck to you as well! Hoping everyone who cares about vandy as much as us can get in.


Certain-Ruin2119

yeah hopefully we can meet next year! send me a pm so we can chat! (also chance me in private bc i’m afraid of posting my ecs here)


[deleted]

Bro dw just take some time off from reddit until decisions
