cornelius vanderbilt scholarship

<p>anyone know what date they will announce the winners?</p>

<p>you can find the old threads on this website…search Late Feb Early March and last year’s will come up for your reference. good luck.</p>

<p>It looks like we should hear in the next two weeks!</p>

<p>just an update from my creeping of past years:
2009: march 5th (thursday)
2010: march 5th (friday)
2011: march 7th (monday)</p>

<p>I’m guessing we’ll hear monday the 5th? soooo nervous and excited!</p>

<p>oh wow that’s so soon! I was expecting March 15th. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone :)</p>

<p>Also, do we get an email? Or do we have to login on a certain website to see the results?</p>

<p>Here’s hoping we hear something this week. Good luck to everyone who applied.</p>

<p>good luck to you too.</p>

<p>My d applied, hard to think about this one as it will be best of best… she got the coca-cola; so maybe she has a shot; but heck we’re not even sure she’ll get accepted in this selective environment… Vandy is her #1; sure would like to know she’s admitted; fingers and toes are crossed.</p>

<p>I am sure she has a good chance for admittance, but my advice to all who might be randomly waitlisted is to immediately communicate that she will put her deposit in at College X, her second choice but will matriculate to Vanderbilt if admitted. keep in mind that with so many high stat applicants, some will get full ride offers elsewhere that they can’t afford to decline, some will get in Ivies or other almost Ivies, some will decide they want to be in the West or the North…not the Middle South, and they will go to the wait list. Good luck to all. Patience, an open heart and a positive, resilient attitude is a virtue, as is valuing your match college with respect.</p>

<p>fhplayer, older threads have revealed that people get emailed about the scholarship and those accepted for it will also get a letter in the mail as well as an email.</p>

<p>Going to be continuously checking the admissions blog today to see if anything turns up!</p>

<p>I’ve been slowly losing my sanity over the past 3 months while waiting. I want this or the Chancellor’s scholarship so bad! My fingers are sore from keeping them crossed for so long.</p>

<p>I’ve also been checking the admissions blog like crazy! I’m putting my guess at we’ll hear Wednesday the 7th.</p>

<p>Can’t…wait…much…longer…</p>

<p>if you applied, will you be notified that you got it or were denied? will both get an email? or only winners this week?</p>

<p>I’ve heard that you get an e-mail either way, but this is hearsay and not fact. @skopins2, my d feels the same way. She’s so anxious to hear SOMETHING from any of her top choices, that she’s having trouble sleeping.</p>

<p>I’ve heard that you receive an email either way but get additional stuff in the mail if you are a recipient. I just want to hear soon!</p>

<p>That’s what I’ve heard too.</p>

<p>I’m just glad I found this thread so I don’t have to be miserable alone. </p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>please don’t make yourself miserable over merit scholarships awarded to less than 2% of applicants or is it 1%? The entire applicant pool that is accepted is an honors applicant pool. Brace yourself for whatever happens and give your match college respect where you are no doubt an honors admit, if you think you were competitive for merit at Vandy. Anyone with a shot at merit money can turn any good college into a successful experience.</p>

<p>Thanks Faline2. I appreciate your encouragement! I’m sure it will all work out in the end.</p>

<p>Ahh I was hoping all day that I would get an email. :frowning: no such luck</p>

<p>think it could be wednesday then? any solid knowledge on when?</p>
