<p>Good, I sent it in around Dec. 20th. I left out that I started a petsitting business in 2007 that has since garnered a regular client base of 70+ and a 2nd place award in a state-wide entrepreneurial competition in 2008. Does that make any more of a difference?</p>

<p>Any other thoughts??</p>

<p>Did you leave out posting that you started the successful pet sitting business or did you forget to put it in your application? Certainly Vanderbilt seems to value leadership.</p>

<p>No- I have it in my application, I just forgot to put it in my stats on this thread.</p>
