<p>Vanderbilt</a> Class of 2014 Notifications in the Mail The Vandy Admissions Blog</p>
<p>This will be the longest weekend of my life.</p>
<p>Agreed. 10char</p>
<p>Tik… tik… tik…
I’m going to be running to the mailbox tomorrow and Sunday, even though no mail comes on Sunday. XD</p>
<p>Those statistics make me a little nervous!</p>
<p>Can’t wait for monday!</p>
<p>Wow those SAT/ACT’s are really high. Makes me wonder now about the other posts regarding those with a 29 ACT having a shot at getting in. Definitely will be a long weekend… 
Good luck to all who applied.</p>
<p>"Those statistics make me a little nervous! "</p>
<p>No joke, … 16.3% admit rate!!! Vandy is approaching Ivy numbers …</p>
<p>Does that mean that the 25% got 1440’s?..</p>
<p>Yeah, those statistics have me shattin brix right now.</p>
<p>I mean,
- Not in top ten percent. Top 25. X
- CR(740) and M(650) which is 1390. X
- Class Rank? I think mine is the 23rd percentile. X</p>
<p>Count that on top of the fact that I just found out I got rejected from Northwestern, not to mention waitlisted to WashU, I’m not feeling too particularly confident right now.</p>
<p>Inb4rejected</p>
<p>No it means 25% got below a 1440, 50% got between a 1440 and 1540, and 25% got above a 1540. (of admitted applicants)</p>
<p>**<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary[/url][/B]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary**</a> - Vandy only supplied the lower and upper quartiles</p>
<p>According to my calculations, these new figures actually put Vandy’s 25% marker ahead of many of the ivys and the 75% marker at or ahead of several.</p>
<p>These statistics represent the 25-75 markers for admitted not matriculated students. Its very likely that they will drop when the actual Vanderbilt Class of 2013 is finalized (10 days after school starts in August officially - known as the Tenth Day Enrollment Report) </p>
<p>For instance, last year’s admitted students had a SAT 25/75 of 1400-1560.

<p>The actual Vanderbilt Class of 2013 had a SAT 25/75 of 1350-1520. ([2009</a> Vanderbilt Tenth Day Enrollment Report The Vandy Admissions Blog](<a href=“http://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/2009/09/2009-vanderbilt-tenth-day-enrollment-report/]2009”>2009 Vanderbilt Tenth Day Enrollment Report | The Vandy Admissions Blog | Vanderbilt University)) </p>
<p>The 25/75s for the Ivies: (Matriculated)
Cornell-1290/1500
Dartmouth-1350/1550
Harvard-1390/1580
Princeton-
Yale-1400/1580
Brown-1320/1540
UPenn-1350/1530
Columbia-</p>
<p>I’m too lazy to find the other two, but I suspect that your math is correct. It goes to show to that there are other variables aside from SATs that are used in admissions processes. </p>

<p>well. those statistics certainly squahed my hopes. I might be in the top 5% of my class, but I have a 1210 (CR and M) on the SAT. I’ll be shocked if I somehow get into this school…</p>
<p>My D is in the top 8% of her class with 1310 (CR + M) so not feeling too optimistic for her right now…</p>
<p>I’m in the top 1.5% of my class and got the 1440 on the SAT, and I am not even slightly optimistic after I was waitlisted for Northwestern. I seriously feel as if I am going to throw up. Guhhhhhh.</p>
<p>Interesting enough, Vanderbilt “theoretical” yield rate (assuming the entire class enrolled from initial RD/ED I and II and no wait list was used) is virtually the same between 2009 and 2010. </p>
<p>Year Apps Admitted Class Size Admit % Yield
2010 21,800 3553.40 1,570 0.163 0.44
2009 19,353 3657.72 1,570 0.189 0.43 </p>
<p>Given that Vanderbilt had to go to the waiting list last year, I suspect that Vanderbilt is playing it safe to some extent. I don’t think yield will increase and I think Vanderbilt knows that too, but Vanderbilt has a finite number of students they can house on the Commons (freshman housing), and they cannot go over that number else they are kind of in a mess. I bet (and I believe admissions says they expect to) they go to the waitlist. Given the unpredictability of these types of things, I believe its a smart move, especially since they happened to underproject in 2007 ([NEWS:</a> Large freshman class puts housing in a bind | InsideVandy](<a href=“http://www.insidevandy.com/drupal/node/4353]NEWS:”>Inside Vandy)) </p>
<p>So there is definitely hope out there for those of you who will be on the wait list.</p>
<p>good luck everyone!</p>
<p>We went on a tour and to an admissions session last week and the admissons officer did say they could not take more than 1600 freshman, because that is the max for The Commons. He talked about calling students to tell them they were being accepted off the waiting list - a fun part of his job.</p>
<p>So I think zmoose is correct about having some hope if you are on the waiting list. Good luck to all of you :)</p>
<p>anyone heard yet?</p>
<p>I’m starting to really wish I didn’t live in California. Its going to take forever to receive the notification!</p>
