Application status

<p>Is there a way to check the status of my Vanderbilt Application if I already submitted it? - Thanks</p>

hXcSTL is right. We currently have no setup in place for online application tracking. We do send postcards and emails when we are missing parts. You can also contact us at 1-800-288-0432 to inquire about application status.</p>

<p>Due to the heavy mail volume, please allow a little time (5-7 business days) for us to get it in the mail, open it and get it into our computer system.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Brad

<p>vandy admissions system seems a little haywire. typos on their apps. wrong address on their app. no online status check. jeez</p>

<p>^ show us specifically what you mean? I think their system is awesome and efficient, although a bit old fashioned.</p>

<p>Do they send any confirmation once the app has been recieved? What about for the merit scholarship app? Will they send any sort of confirmation?</p>

<p>Should say "downloaded on <strong>/</strong>" on the common app website. (<strong>/</strong> = date they downloaded it)</p>

<p>has the deadline for merit scholarships at vandy already passed?</p>

<p>I think the deadline is today...How fast can you write an essay??? LOL Check out the website....Nothing like waiting until the last minute....</p>

<p>I know it's been downloaded, but I was wondering about my other stuff ... I figured they would send a letter or e-mail when the app was complete ... most other schools i've applied to have done something like this.</p>

<p>Yeah merit deadline is today (Ingram scholarship was a month ago).</p>

<p>I just submitted my merit app, but while the screen says I submitted, I haven't gotten any email confirmation yet.</p>

<p>I submitted a week ago and have not received an email confirmation. They are probably really busy now since it is also the RD and ED II deadlines.</p>

<p>Did anyone recieve confirmation that their merit scholarship or ENGAGE apps have been recieved? I didn't get any sort of confirmation ... and I was wondering if this was normal.</p>

<p>Did not receive confirmation. App was submitted 3 weeks ago.</p>

<p>You could email them to ask.</p>

<p>I'm sure they're just inundated with paperwork and forms just like every other top school's admissions office at this time.</p>

<p>E-mail or call to check, but I wouldn't be worried.</p>
