Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship

Just got my rejection email too! The timestamp was 9:10. Congrats to those receiving a scholarship!

I got a rejection for both the CV and Chancellorā€™s in the same email at 10:16. 35 ACT, 4.0 unweighted. Super bummed that I didnā€™t receive any scholarship money; without it, Vanderbilt isnā€™t an option! Congrats to anyone who was lucky enough to receive either scholarship!

Seems like a flurry of denials were sentā€¦ does that mean everyone that got the CV has already been notified?

Took the L as well!

@KitBlue oof. If you didnā€™t get it, who would lol.

@surferdude42 Sigh. I thought my essays were pretty good. Never saw my recommendations, but Iā€™d be surprised if they werenā€™t positive.
I forgot to add that I applied regular decision. Hopefully, Iā€™ll at least get accepted to Vandy, although not sure I can go without the scholarship.
Commiseration to my fellow rejectees, Congratulations to those awarded CV, and Good Luck to those who havenā€™t heard!

My stats, in case anyone / future applicants are interested:

Rejected
32 ACT (36 Eng, 35 Reading, 31 Science, 27 Math)
3.83 UW gpa, I think wgpa would be around 4.2
4 previous APs, 3 more this year
Peabody
White female, WI
I think my leadership/ECs/volunteering were pretty significant but who knows

My scores were already low for CV, but my essays were probably what did me in. Read them back a month-ish ago and they werenā€™t great haha. Iā€™m also RD. Congrats to winners, yā€™all deserve it!!

My S just got his rejection. 1590 SAT 35 ACT Varisty golf 4 year letterman and captain NHS president and then some ā€¦congrats to those who received the CVā€¦

Congratulations to all CV scholars!! @oPhilippos congratulations on your scholarship, too! When did you receive the Peabody Deanā€™s Scholarship? Did you receive an email tonight? Was it a separate email from your CV email? Just wondering if there is any hope that more of these scholarships will be awarded. Do you mind sharing your stats so that we can see what they are looking for in this scholarship? Thanks!

has anyone not heard back yet like me?

@sallaw I havenā€™t heard back either! I have to admit itā€™s making me nervous :-S

at this point I think Iā€™ve just got to accept that none of the fancy shmancy things Iā€™ve applied to are going to work out. this is disappointing but congrats to all who received the scholarship!

Have yet to receive wordā€¦

Still havenā€™t heard back. I assume all notifications that have yet to come out are rejections at this point

Has anyone heard one way or the other, who is a National Merit Finalist who listed Vanderbilt as first choice?
