Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship Applicants!

<p>oh yea hey yall if any of you land an interview do you mind posting your "stats". just trying to get a better picture for next year...</p>

<p>Hi, lulu. There is not a sure thing in terms of admission.</p>

<p>My DD has 34 ACT, 800 in SAT II Physics and Math II, plus a perfect 4.0 GPA with at least 10 AP. Her E/c includes many community service awards and some national level awards. We are praying every day that she could get in schools such as Vandy.</p>

<p>I got notification for the lanier scholarship, did anyone else?</p>

<p>emoticon89-
Just curious, how did you get notification? Snail mail or email?</p>

<p>dad II, i'm SURE that your child will get in. yes i know things do happen... with a good essay and sports/ec, good GPA, basicaly good everything, vandy should accept you</p>

<p>email, said i would get a phone call and snail mail as well</p>

<p>has anybody called and asked exactly when and how we will be notified?</p>

<p>Its more than half-way through February and still nothing.</p>

<p>Its says mid feb... either you didn't get it, they havnt sent them out yet or both... my bet is that mid feb was an estimate and they will send them out soon...</p>

<p>i bet they've been busy with EDII stuff and then they'll send it out....
does anyone know if we get something no matter what, like if we are still in or even if they've narrowed it past us?</p>

<p>i'm glad i'm not the only one who hasn't heard anything!</p>

<p>I think I'm also eligible for that scholarship for students who work part-time during the week, anybody hear anything about that?</p>

<p>nobody has posted in today or yesterday. has anybody received notification yet?</p>

<p>not yet... do the "losers" also hear back or is it just those that are invited the the campus interviews?</p>

<p>It seems from this quote from the FAQs section of the website that Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars do not need an additional interview.</p>

<p>"When will I be notified if I have been selected to receive a merit scholarship?
Ingram Scholarship recipients will be notified of their selection in early March of their senior year, following an on-campus interview program for finalists in late February. Recipients of the Chancellor’s Scholarship, the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship, or any additional merit scholarships will be notified in late March of their senior year."</p>

<p>The quotation is misleading... several places on the site have stated that notification is in mid-february with interviews in mid-march and the recipients are notified in late-march.</p>

<p>^^^Except for engineering students; they still do not have to interview, if I am not mistaken.</p>

<p>I got an email just now inviting me to the Cornelius Vanderbilt scholarship event March 16-18. The letter said that there are 50 finalists. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Yay, wasn't expecting that when I checked my email today. Congrats to all the finalists and good luck to those who have read this but have not checked their email (and extra sorry if you have slow internet ;) )</p>

<p>did they send the emails all out at once? are only finalists notified?</p>

<p>and isleofthedeep...what school do u go to?</p>
