<p>Does anyone know what date last year's decisions were released?</p>
<p>They were mailed on March 26 (Thursday). I got mine on March 28 (Saturday), and I live in New Jersey. It was in a UPS Priority Mail Envelope, meaning its 2 day service to most locations in the US. I think the non-acceptance letters were regular mail. The acceptance packages contained an acceptance letter, a financial aid award letter, a booklet on Vanderbilt called “Open-Dores”, and a booklet on financial aid. </p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>What about international students?</p>
<p>That’s great that they let you know the financial scholarship info at the same time as your acceptance letter. Keeping my fingers crossed here! The schools that accepted my daughter back in December are making her crazy since no financial award has come in the mail yet. A lot of waiting… Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Just to clarify, the financial aid letter only comes with the admission package if you filed all the necessary paperwork (fafsa, css, tax forms etc.); otherwise, it might not be there</p>
<p>I remember there was a section in the financial aid booklet about this, so just letting you all know…</p>
<p>so vanderbilt’s decision is not online?</p>
<p>From my understanding, that is correct. Applicants from the US should receive theirs within a day or two after being sent out. Admissions blogs state that decisions go out tomorrow, 2-day mail - I think that’s the same regardless of the outcome - accepted, denied or wait-listed. It seems to be fair to overseas students, they will receive an email on Monday (the same day as the US students would receive their letters in the mail) so they find out at the same time. With everything I have read, I don’t believe anyone in the US will be getting an email and I have seen nothing about any online status check for anyone, regardless of where you’re located.</p>
<p>Most recent Vandy Admissions Blog posted this afternoon says packages will mail tomorrow, and that “most of the country can expect them on Tuesday or Wednesday”, and that international students will receive emails of their decisions on Monday… so it appears that’s what we’re looking at. It appears from the pictures that acceptances are sent in prepaid USPS flat rate priority envelopes… so I actually would think that those would get to the lucky ones on Monday (or to those in Tennessee possibly on Saturday).</p>
<p>dannnnnnnng it!!! I was praying for a decision by Saturday!!!</p>
