<p>^None may have been a hyperbole. Out of all of the applicants from engineering, the vast majority did not get it.</p>
<p>^Really? Which ones were engineering?</p>
<p>D received e-mail earlier this evening that she got it. College of Engineering.</p>

<p>[/ul]General Comments:
I hope that this gives everyone hope lol. I can’t believe i got the scholarship. I am a deep-voiced man, and I screamed like a girl when I saw it. My father (equally virile) said he was almost crying. I guess it runs in the family.</p>
<p>Congrats to everybody who received it 
I applied to College of Engineering, and did not receive the CV. I think that my low-ish ACT score, superrrr long essay, and other things all contributed to this lol. All you guys deserve it! Enjoy Vandy (if you indeed enroll) :D</p>
<p>Congrats to all! I hope to see you on campus someday! (I’m sure I will, since I’m also CV) And for those of you who haven’t been notified yet, don’t fret because I remember I got my email 8 full days after they started coming out last year =) Good luck to all!</p>
<p>I won zeh cornelius. college of engineering… I’ll probably switch out to arts and sciences after the first year though</p>
<p>I did not get it (CAS).</p>
<p>@GoldOwl: I am sorry you did not make it. I thought you had a great chance. Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Thanks but it’s ok… I realize there were some amazing applicants out there. Best of luck to you as well.</p>
<p>keellota, I don’t believe you can take the scholarship with you if you switch to CAS from engineering. If that is your plan, you’d better check on that.</p>
<p>Got the email-didn’t get it. I am middle of alphabet, applied to CAS. Now I am wondering something different. Can anyone post info about other merit $$? For example, did anyone who didn’t receive one of the signature scholarships and did not receive financial aid, get any other merit money (not including National Merit Scholarship)? I sure hope so. Thanks!</p>
<p>Sorry to inform you, dardyjoe, but you DO belong in the group. Real people go to Vanderbilt, too, you know! ;)</p>

<p>btw fyi, I’ve never had an experience with engineering, but it looks like I would like it… so I’m going to give it a shot, take a few engineering classes the first semester or two. I’m assuming my schedule won’t be too radically different from that of a science/math A&S student. College is a time to explore, I say.</p>
