Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship

Totally get you 2Kansaskids. Respect your thoughts, especially weighing what is the right and best path for your family. The worth it not worth it tipping point is unique to every student and family so respect your thoughts there. Again, set all this aside…your D has options…great ones that she and you should be quite proud of. Nothing but best wishes to her on her path forward. All the angst will be but a distant memory down the line…what you will still have then is a kid to be very proud of☺

Thanks @Ed1dad. Without a doubt, the vast majority of kids on here that are shooting for Vandy CV and admission have wonderful potential no matter where they end up.

Does anyone have an idea when Blair applicants will find out?

Rejected CV yesterday at 10:03pm,
found the email in my junk email box?? May want to check there in case you haven’t gotten the CV email.
My stats aren’t too strong even for admission, but I am top 10 at a very small school, not sure if that does much though.
31 ACT (35E, 35R, 28M, 27S)
3.94 UW, 4.22 W gpa
2 AP’s this year (school offers small # of AP classes) & all honors courses offered
heavy school involvement & social justice oriented community involvement on weekly basis.
white female, KY

Good luck to all who are waiting and congrats to all who have been awarded CV, you all deserve it!

@spice101 We have really similar stats, based on mine I’m not a very strong candidate for admission either. I really hope you get in!!

The waiting for what will most likely be a rejection email ( for CV) at this point is tiring, because there is still a teeny tiny sliver of hope for my D.

Do you guys think all the chancellor scholarships have already been awarded?

Do you guy see any changes to your portal? I got an email saying I got a scholarship but no change on portal…

@Dankjewel did you get the email today or yesterday?

@caspiancat Yesterday

I’m guessing no one has heard today :frowning: hopefully we will know by the end of the week. Wishing everyone the best of luck.

I would wait until you get the final financial aid award before completely counting yourself out. I was in a similar position back in the day, and was disappointed not to get the CV; was also a finalist for another selective full-tuition named scholarship at Vanderbilt but ended up on the alternate list. FAFSA gave a number that was unrealistic for my family, my parents were frustrated about how they felt the middle-class is treated by college financial aid offices, and we were doubting that I would be able to attend.

My regular grant aid award ended up coming out to full-tuition anyway, for a reasonably middle-class family (income around 115k) which was more aid than the FAFSA predicted. That’s not to say that it will work out for everyone, or that it still won’t be too costly (for some, free is always better, no matter the actual difference in price) but it depends on personal philosophy. I would say that it’s great to be realistic with your expectations, but that you should still fill out the FAFSA/CSS and see what happens.

@m321123 based on previous years threads, unfortunately it seems probable that all chancellors are sent early. Trying not to give up until I receive actual rejection though lol

D, a Chancellor scholar from last year, is on the Mosaic Executive Board this year. She told me that the notifications for Chancellor were sent in mid February, which is the same timing as last year’s.

Are there still applicants who haven’t received any response yet? I’m starting to get worried since it seems several people have already gotten their rejection/acceptance letters for CV. Anyone else in the same boat?

I’m wondering if I haven’t heard back yet because I applied for some of the smaller scholarships too.

I still have yet to hear back as well! I wonder why its taking so long and why other people have already been notified whether they were rejected or not while we still haven’t been notified about anything.

Same here

Maybe they are doing personal letters rather than mass form letters?

I hate how its giving me false hope. I just wanna know and let go of it already
